<p>An inserter input system including a web feeder (10) providing a web of printed material (100) to be split by a web slitting knife (11) along the web's direction of travel. The split web is then cut transverse to the direction of travel by a rotary cutter (21) operating at a first velocity, resulting in side-by-side individual sheets (1,2). Downstream of the rotary cutter (21), a right angle turn mechanism (30) receives each of the side-by-side sheets (1,2) and reorients them by ninety degrees. Further the right angle turn reorients the sheets (1,2) into a serial shingled arrangement. A high speed separation nip (34) pulls individual shingled sheets (1,2) out from the shingled arrangement. The speed of the separation nip (34) is such that a predetermined gap between the previously shingled sheets (1,2) is formed. In a further preferred embodiment of the present invention, the speed of the rotary cutter (21) and right angle turn mechanism (30) are controlled to adjust a quantity of sheets that would be generated from displacement traveled due to inertia during a deceleration of the system to a stop.
