Binding Issues

Fast digital printing is great, but traditional binding equipment has not always kept pace, causing bottlenecks. Andrew Fetherman, of Muller Martini, said the company's new Amigo Digital binder was designed to handle the short runs produced by digital printers.

"We needed to have a binder that's not the bottleneck," he said. The Amigo collates and binds jobs inline so human hands don't have to touch the pages between the time they enter the printer until they come out as finished books.
