Offline Finishing

Offline finishing separates the finishing process from the printer, allowing operators to complete tasks such as cutting, folding, binding, and laminating on dedicated equipment. This approach offers exceptional flexibility and scalability, making it ideal for customized or high-end applications. With advanced finishing solutions from Formax, print providers can efficiently handle intricate die-cuts, unique coatings, specialized bindings, and other value-added finishing processes while achieving superior aesthetic results, increasing production capacity, and maintaining higher print speeds without interrupting workflow.

Automation

Transform your printing experience by streamlining intricate tasks, ensuring error-free outcomes, and saving valuable time and costs. Embrace efficiency in workflows to gain a competitive edge, maximizing resource utilization and consistently delivering top-tier results, fostering creativity throughout the process.

Fiery Hot Folders & Virtual Printers, Fiery Server Presets, Fiery JobFlow, and Fiery JobExpert help to automate job preparation in prepress workflows.

Digital Press Series FAQs

Sharp entered production print to diversify its offerings for dealers and provide end users with a full suite of technological solutions. We listened to the market and expanded our portfolio accordingly. In today's digital age, businesses seek distinctive printing solutions to convey their brand identity, with print embellishments becoming increasingly popular. After careful evaluation, Sharp chose this product to deliver the best solution backed by our service and support. Its leading-edge features—six-color, one-pass printing, ultra-high quality, consistent results, inline finishing, support for up to 400gsm at rated speed, and a wide range of applications—help customers stand out from the competition.

Sharp offers two color model presses. A 4-color BP-1200C and 6-color BP-1200S. The six-color press is specifically made for designers and print operators who want to add to their print offerings that can provide higher profit margins. The press boast speeds of up to 120 pages-per-minute (ppm), is equipped with the BP-E12 v2.0, a powerful Fiery® digital front end (DFE) and prints up to six colors in one pass, including CMYK, gold, silver, neon pink, textured and clear toners.

Additionally, real-time color stabilization and precise paper handling as well as timesaving inline finishing options, such as square fold, crease, 2-edge trimming and a variety of folding options, provide consistent, professional results. The real-time color stabilization and precise paper handling features are the foundation for these precision print engines, transforming marketing messages into beautifully printed works of art.

Sharp also added its two monochrome digital presses to its line up. The 125 ppm BP-1250M and 136 ppm BP-1360M are powered by a Fiery® NX One Print Server and include real-time image quality adjustments and precise paper handling as well as an ultra-high output resolution at 2,400 x 2,400 dpi. Rich black solids and amazing halftones provide unrivaled, consistent print quality.

The presses can handle very thick paper—up to 400 gsm—and different substrates such as clear material, coated, textured, labels, metallics and synthetics. For the color presses, users can print sheet sizes up to 47" long and for the monochrome presses, sheet sizes up to 26" long. This really opens up opportunities for our clients to produce standout marketing materials with increased profit margins.

Since most digital presses have a four-color engine, to achieve six colors, the media must pass through multiple times, and in most cases, through multiple devices. This process can get complicated and take twice as long. To solve this, Sharp's BP-1200S Color Press can achieve six colors in one pass at rated speed.

In fact, v2.0 of the BP-PE12 Fiery Print Server utilizes the FS600 Pro Platform, which offers major enhancements, including simpler color gamut extension with the pink specialty color. Customers are able to create dazzling metallics and an expanded spectrum of rich, vibrant color expressions hitting a much higher percentage of Pantone® colors in the PMS library—perfect when matching colors that fall outside of the typical color gamut of a CMYK-only device.

By adding the Bright Pink specialty color station as the fifth color, the color gamut is expanded to help match the Pantone library more easily. It produces enhanced skin tones and virtually eliminates printing spot colors that would otherwise need to be printed on an offset press.

At Printing United 2025 Sharp previewed the GBC® FuturoPunch Pro, an inline punching solution for its existing Monochrome Press Series BP-1250M/1360M. This advanced system streamlines production by printing and punching documents in a single step, ready for coil, comb, wire, or other binding styles. Supporting paper sizes from 5.5" x 8.5" to 8.5" x 14", it's ideal for manuals, workbooks, and bound reports—eliminating offline handling and boosting workflow efficiency.

Sharp also previewed the upcoming Plockmatic Booklet Finisher, designed for its flagship BP-1200S 4- and 6-color digital presses. This compact, high-performance finisher supports booklet sizes from A6 to A4 landscape, including the popular letter landscape format. It enables production of up to 200-page square-fold booklets, corner and edge-stapled sets, and long-sheet applications up to 26 inches—all within a user-friendly system ideal for monthly volumes of 30,000–40,000 booklets.

Coming in 2026 are the successors to the MX-7081 and MX-8081 models. Built on Sharp's latest advanced series platform, these models offer a consistent user experience across fleets, enhanced security, and powerful native tools, such as:

  • GBC® SMARTPUNCH™ PLUS with inline creasing, perforation, and multiple punch patterns
  • A high-powered inserter supporting up to 360gsm inserts for premium finishing
  • A vacuum-fed bypass tray for long-sheet sizes up to 47.2 inches
  • Optional embedded Fiery print server for advanced color management and workflow optimization.

This new platform is designed to meet the evolving needs of high-volume office environments and entry-level production print operations.
