Abstract

A folder assembly for a sheet fed printing machine utilizes a collect cylinder that is capable of operating in collect or non-collect modes. A first cross-stitching cylinder and a second cross-stitching cylinder are placed adjacent the collect cylinder. A transfer and jaw cylinder receives cross-stitched signatures and forwards them to a delivery unit.
