In business for more than 150 years, the Kansas Division of Printing has been upgrading its equipment over the past few years.

By Bob Neubauer

The new stitcher can store up to 1,000 jobs, Buxton adds, which is great because “we do a lot of repetitive jobs.”

The Division of Printing produces numerous saddle-stitched booklets in a variety of formats for agencies across Kansas. Run lengths range from a few thousand up to 400,000. The stitcher can also double as a collator for coil bound jobs when run lengths are long. Being able to gather and trim three sides in one pass saves time and eliminates a lot of the hand work previously required. Buxton estimates that the new stitcher will pay for itself in cost savings before it is two years old.
