On Demand-Into The Paperless Zone

Hitting The Floor

Hearing about the trends is fine, but On Demand attendees got to actually see the latest technologies in action on the 104,000-square-foot exhibit floor.

Heidelberg, presenting what it called a vision of the future, demonstrated how offset and digital printers can work together on a single project. Though this process is no stranger to in-plants, Heidelberg drew crowds as it produced a 12-page saddle-stitched book, first using a Quickmaster DI 4-46 direct imaging press, then loading the resulting four-color signatures into a Digimaster 9110 to add variable data. An in-line booklet maker collated and stitched the job.
