New digital printing, finishing equipment improving capabilities of Ventura County Sheriff's Department's in-plant, enhancing skills of inmate volunteers

By Bob Neubauer

"It's a process that used to take us two months to get done," Epley remarks. With the Meteor DP8700 XL it took just a few days.

Such fast throughput is helped tremendously by the new high-speed Standard Horizon finishing equipment, which can produce 4,500 books per hour. Featuring extensive setup automation, icon-based operation via a 10.4˝ color touchscreen and the ability to program up to 200 job settings, the SPF-200A booklet making system, combined with the vacuum-fed VAC-1000 collator, has greatly reduced the amount of time it takes to handle large projects like inmate rule books. The in-plant produces 10,000 of them at a time.
