Sorting It Out With Collators

Last year the Bellingham, Wash., in-plant upgraded to a two-tower Duplo 4000 collating system, with 10 bins in each tower. The modular, off-line collator is used by both copying and printing staff.

"Depending upon the number of pages, we are saving from 30 to 100 percent in the time it takes to [collate] a booklet," remarks David Ellison, manager of Publishing Services. "It has definitely been a wise investment for us—in time savings and cost savings for our customers."
