Monochrome Still Rules
Vendors in the market are offering options for monochrome presses including high-capacity stacking, perfect binding, in-line folding, in-line stitching, folding and trimming for booklets, and punching stations.
In addition, monochrome devices all incorporate insertion units to accommodate the inclusion of pre-printed materials into a document. An often-overlooked but key opportunity is leveraging the inserter to combine offset and digital by printing offset shells and imprinting variable text and graphics on a digital monochrome press.
