Drupa Highlights Bindery Basics

Finishing equipment filled a few halls at Drupa, with computer integration more prevalent than ever.

Computers have integrated themselves into the postpress world more than ever. Take Heidelberg's new Stitchmaster ST 400, shown at Drupa. Data generated at the impositioning stage of the prepress process can be loaded into the ST 400's press setting program. Also, feeding, stitching and cutting are all monitored to prevent jams.
