COLLATING EQUIPMENT -- In the Pocket

"There has been the attractions of online finishing, where the paper is put in at one end of the machine, and a finished booklet is delivered at the other. However, in many cases this is not the most efficient way to proceed, nor is it the most cost-

effective. For example, most digital printers can print sets sequentially, but this is much slower than conventional batch printing, especially on longer run lengths."
