San Diego Shop Bolsters Bindery, Improves Workflow

When making the decision to purchase a folder, ease of operation was important, points out Manager Leslie Rutledge. The nine-person in-plant runs a pair of digital presses: an HP Indigo and a Presstek DI. Employees are cross-trained to be able to pitch in wherever possible.

“If an operator is running a job on the Indigo press, he is able to take that job, go to the cutter and cut it, and if it needs to be folded, he needs to be able to put it on the folder and do the whole job,” Rutledge explains. “This [Morgana folder] seemed to be the way to go.”
