Graph Expo: Binding and Finishing -- Outperforming Expectations

Among the newer products showcased by Videojet was the Crescendo v2 system controller, which allows a single Videojet BX6600 binary array printer to print on two separate lines simultaneously. This enables complex commercial and mailing jobs to be completed quicker.

Not that the economy hasn’t impacted printers’ ability to close out deals. Dan Maurer, vice president of postpress product management for Heidelberg USA, reported that it is taking longer for printers to get approvals for acquisitions. Still, Heidelberg is in an enviable position, with a 70 percent share of the 115-size (and up) cutter market.
