FINISHING matters

Each day, integrated systems that incorporated equipment from different manufacturers output numerous direct mail, transpromotional, book, short-run newspaper, RFID, continuous form and label applications. By combining the pre/post printing processing of Hunkeler innovations, among others, with finishing offerings from companies such as Horizon, various roll-to-roll and roll-to-sheet jobs were being produced—all at very high speeds, with minimal downtime and requiring limited operator manual intervention.
