Your Challenges
Digital print applications frequently use heavier stocks and need the flexibility to produce a wider range of finished books from a single process, with little or no operator intervention. Perfect bound books look great but have higher production costs, while tape-bound products can look shabby and lack durability – and both processes can be too slow for today's fast-paced digital environments.
Key Challenges
Industry trends toward shorter print runs and quicker turnaround times put constant pressure on operating efficiency
Demand for quality finished products in a wide range of finished styles and sizes strains the capabilities of workflow, equipment and staff
Digital print applications frequently use heavier stocks and require flexibility to produce a wider range of finished books
Shrinking supply of skilled labour makes it harder to find workers capable of operating complex finishing machinery
Tighter budgets, less floor space and smaller staff sizes increase demands for efficiency at all operational levels
