COLLATING EQUIPMENT -- In the Pocket

Digital printing has revolutionized the way printed material is generated, points out Dennis James, manager of press planning and management for A.B.Dick, (the U.S. distributor for the Watkiss line of finishing equipment) and a high proportion of it needs to be converted into finished booklets. Most solutions to these finishing requirements are handled with the flexibility of collators, with various accessories such as stitch-fold-trim, bookletmakers or stapling applications, he says.
