Binding and Finishing: Shifting Gears

After a slow start to the weekend, the Sunday action turned out to be bustling for Standard Finishing Systems. Mark Hunt, director of marketing, noted a strong movement toward augmenting the folding aspect of operations, and that attitude was reflected in Standard's equipment on display in Chicago.

"If your aim is to be a major player in the postpress space, you need a full complement of folding gear," according to Hunt. "The more intelligence we can build into our folders, the less expertise is needed from the operator. We've baked into the machines all the folder operator know-how," he adds.
