Mediocre stitching can ruin any quality print job. These tips can help you find a saddle stitcher that meets your in-plant’s needs.

By Bob Neubauer

Look for a machine which has wrenchless and on-the-fly adjustments.
—Carmine Festa, Muller Martini

Check the ability and the ease of inserting card inserts, business reply cards or envelopes in-line. Some require complex attachments.
—Paul Byrne, Vijuk

Quality Control
Quality control is the key to customer satisfaction. Monitoring systems—such as CCD cameras at each feed station to ensure the correct signature has been fed, miss/double detection, skewed fold detection and stitch placement detection—will help to ensure your customers’ satisfaction.
—Bob Flinn, Standard Finishing Systems
