Bindery - Finishing

With good margins and a fast ROI, contour cutting is a great way for in-plants to add value by creating new types of products.

Marist College’s Digital Publications Center replaced its older cutter with an MBM Triumph 5560 to create a safer working environment.

Print embellishment is on everyone's mind, and Duplo USA plans to highlight that feature at an upcoming industry event, where it will show its DDC-810 Raised Spot UV Coater and debut the new Variable Coating Barcode Kit.

Here's a collection of perfect binding, folding, laminating, die punching and bookletmaking products for in-plants.

The Cook County Bureau of Administration’s Printing and Graphic Services operation upgraded to a new Challenge Champion 305 TC cutter.

Muller Martini has taken over the perfect binding and bookline business from Kolbus. The transaction includes the service and spare parts business for all of Kolbus' bookbinding systems installed worldwide. Kolbus will focus on the packaging and casemaking business, parts manufacturing and the foundry business.

When Christine Perunko saw a Duplo DC-646 slitter/cutter/creaser in action, she knew the device was exactly what her in-plant needed.

Now more than ever, printers are investing in technology to automate their shops. Order entry and prepress is being automated with Web-to-print software, new digital presses continue to get more productive, and job information is flowing effortlessly through the system. That drive for automation is now being directed at finishing.

We have seen lots of advances in adhesives for bookbinding over the years, with PUR (polyurethane reactive) adhesive being the last major game changer. But there is now a revived interest in protein-based adhesives.

Digital embellishment capabilities can open the door to printed electronics and custom content.
