Triumph 5255 Programmable Paper Cutter (20 3/8")
The Triumph 5255 is a high-precision programmable paper cutter built for quick-print and in-plant finishing where repeatability and speed matter. With an automatic clamp, power back gauge, and a multilingual digital touchpad, the 5255 streamlines common trimming sequences for small-format production. Patented EASY CUT two-hand activation supports safer operation, while the LED optical cutting line helps operators align stacks accurately for consistent results.
Key Features
- Programmable digital touchpad with 99 programs and up to 99 steps each
- Automatic clamp for consistent holding pressure across varying stocks
- Power back gauge for fast, repeatable positioning
- Patented EASY CUT two-hand blade activation for safer, controlled operation
- Electronic hand wheel enables variable-speed manual adjustment of the back gauge
- LED optical cutting line provides clear visual alignment at the cut point
- Transparent safety guard with disc brake blade stop system
- Blade change protection with a cover tool and integrated tool storage
Why It Matters
For fast-paced trimming work, programmable memory reduces setup time and helps standardize output across operators. The Triumph 5255 makes it easy to repeat common cut patterns, maintain alignment with an optical guide, and improve day-to-day cutting consistency—without moving up to a larger hydraulic floor cutter.

About MBM Triumph cutters
MBM Triumph paper cutters are built by Krug and Priester in Balingen, Germany (sold as IDEAL in Europe, Triumph in North America). The 5255 sits in the programmable electric cutter line and shares the Triumph safety and clamp design used across the range. Mid-State Litho is an authorized MBM dealer and stocks knives and parts for the line.
How to choose a Triumph paper cutter
- Tabletop and semi-auto, light volume: Triumph 4305 ($2,499), 4315 ($6,179), 4350 ($7,403).
- Programmable electric, 20 3/8 in, quick-print: Triumph 5255 ($16,283, this page), then 5260 ($19,265) for the next tier.
- Hydraulic, 21 5/8 in, heavier stacks: Triumph 5560 ($24,652), 5560 LT with air tables ($29,630).
- Speed and larger formats: Speedcut 56 ($23,799), Speedcut 68 ($26,999), 6660 ($22,225), 7260 ($35,266).
Frame the choice by cut width, stack height, and whether the shop needs hydraulic clamp force or air tables for coated stock. Point heavier stock to the 5560 and the next programmable tier to the 5260. Browse all hydraulic guillotine cutters.
