Digital Technology And the Bindery

More for Less

Buyers of consumer electronics are used to getting more performance for less money every year, just as in-plants stand to get more finishing power per dollar invested than they did just a few years ago. This has a lot to do with “big system features” and higher productivity being brought down-market to shorter-run equipment. In-line cover scoring on a perfect binder used to be available solely on larger binding lines, but it’s now a standard feature on a fully automated single-clamp binder costing around $45,000.
