What's Your Line
What is the best finishing solution for your digital printers, in-line, near-line or off-line? Three printers tout the advantages they have found in each.
On the offset end, the average perfect-bound run is 3,000 to 3,500. While Bookmasters' total number of titles produced sees a 50/50 split between the printing methods, about 80 percent of billing is ticketed offset due to run lengths.
About a year ago, Bookmasters installed the scalable Muller Martini SigmaLine, which can produce 1,000 variable length, width and thickness books per hour. Bookmasters prefers to go the in-line route due to schedule and labor savings, but also relishes the flexibility provided by near-line gear.
