Graph Expo: Binding and Finishing -- Outperforming Expectations

Spiel Associates marked its 45th year in business with the unveiling of its Sterling Digipunch, designed for digital and commercial printers. The high-speed punch, which will be available the first quarter of 2009, is ideal for on-demand shops.

Spiel President David Spiel said that the sad state of the economy caused him to dial back on expectations somewhat, which paved the way for a pleasant surprise when his booth was buzzing with activity. “You’ve got companies dropping like flies because they won’t keep up with new technology,” he pointed out.
