CJ Graphics Installs Canada’s First Highcon Euclid

C.J. Graphics, Printers & Lithographers, one of Canada’s most-visible printing companies, has installed a new Highcon Euclid II+ system, unique in its ability to produce short-run die-cutting and creasing. Toronto-based C.J. Graphics represents the first such installation in Canada.

Founded in 2009 by Aviv Ratzman and Michael Zimmer, Highcon unveiled its Euclid finishing system at drupa 2012, describing it as the first fully digital cutting and creasing machine for converting paper, labels, folding carton and micro-flute.

The Euclid, supporting both conventional and digital press production, incorporates Highcon’s patented Digital Adhesive Rule Technology (DART) and polymers to produce creases, as well as high-speed laser optics to cut a range of substrates.  

“The Euclid is a game-changing, revolutionary die-cutting device,” said Jay Mandarino, CEO and President of C.J. Graphics. “It handles a 40-inch sheet, it’s fast, and the shapes you can cut are limited only by your imagination. We’re proud to be the first in Canada to offer this service to our clients.”

C.J. Graphics is a member of the C.J. Group of Companies, one of the largest privately owned communications and graphics solutions firms in Canada. The C.J. Group of Companies offers a range of services including traditional lithography, digital printing, large-format production, screen printing, interactive solutions, bindery services, fulfillment and logistics services, and publishing.
