A further upgrade

... to the equipment in the print shop is this Morgana Major folder.  I've been looking for a suitable folding machine for some time, the restriction of space in the workshop limiting the choice of possible models I could consider.

Suction fed, and with digitally set fold plates, it is just what I've been looking for.  The perforating unit has never been used, so I've had to order the necessary spares (blade, anvil, stripper) to commission that, which is essential for raffle ticket orders and the like.

Several of these have shown up on eBay over the past year, since I've been looking, but I was unsuccessful in the auctions previously.  This one was open to offers :)

Our trusty desktop folder, which I bought 30+ years ago second hand, has been on borrowed time for a while with manual feeding of every sheet necessary, and bands made from rubber gloves keeping the mechanism turning !  Once the Morgana perf unit is sorted, it can be retired.
