Today’s game-changing variabilities in the printing process, including inkjet technology and digital print manufacturing, have produced an extraordinarily complex finishing process. At the same time, your customers are demanding both long- and short- runs, including runs of one, as well as high levels of personalization and customization for their products.…

Today’s printers and binderies are challenged with shorter offset run lengths and growing digital work. How can such different needs be finished efficiently—while reducing manpower? The highly innovative full automation and touchless workflow capabilities found in Muller Martini’s modern Alegro perfect binder delivers optimum utilization of the production line, resulting…

Because of a photobook’s one-off nature, production success can only be achieved through a highly-efficient workflow, one that’s typically barcode-driven. That’s why the high volume, branded internet-based retailers utilize automated production systems. This allows them to achieve the efficiency that’s needed to profitably produce an exceptionally high volume of one-off…

Arguably, there are some obstacles when entering the digital manufacturing playing field. And one of the most challenging is workflow bottlenecks. In the traditional offset space, minimal set-ups are needed since runs are longer—and the content doesn’t change. Not so with digital print, where variability of product can take infinite…

Many companies don’t plan maintenance. Instead, they take a reactive approach that may, at first, save some money. For example, a binder breaks down because of what looks like a simple bearing failure. A less expensive, non-OEM part replaces the bearing. But a week or so later the machine breaks…

The US book business continues to struggle in these challenging economic times. Margins are under increasing pressure, competition is increasingly global, and consequently there is a strong reluctance to reinvest in the business – who knows what will happen over the coming year? While these concerns are certainly justified, the…
