A Stitch In Time

Wayne Smith is principle engineer for feeding and finishing equipment at Xerox, and he also sees saddle stitchers going digital.

"Most of the booklet makers of the past were analog. Our bins are digitally set up," he says, referring to the finishing options offered by Xerox's partners. The benefit is that saddle stitching jobs can then be stored and called up whenever the job is needed again, cutting way down on makeready time.
