Build a Better Bindery: IPG Bindery Specifications Guide

YOU MIGHT be running the latest high-speed digital printers, but if your bindery equipment hasn’t been new since the Reagan era, you’ve lost the fast turnaround advantage you were counting on. Not only that, the quality of your cuts, folds and binds is probably not as good as it could be.

Just ask Joe Morin, Production Printing manager at Colorado Springs School District 11. His in-plant just replaced its 26-year-old collator with a new Standard Horizon SPF-200A stitcher/folder and an FC200A trimmer.

“The benefits over the previous solution are significant: improved workflow, increased efficiencies through reduced labor and setup waste, and a huge leap in technological capabilities,” he says.

Advantages like these should whet any in-plant’s appetite, but too many shops settle with bindery equipment that’s just “good enough”—even as they upgrade their printers. If this sounds familiar, then take a look at the equipment in our bindery specifications guide. Once again IPG has gathered data on all the latest bindery equipment to help you compare equipment and decide what fits your in-plant best.
