FINISHING matters

A sampling of the many technology demonstrations follows:

• The Océ stand featured the world premier of on-demand book production with dynamic format changes (81⁄2x11? to A5) in the folding machine, down to even a single copy. An Océ VarioPrint 6250 cut-sheet printer fed printed book blocks of varying thicknesses and paper stocks into a Hunkeler LS6-S stacking module with integrated signature gluing. This allows secure and simple handling between the production line and the perfect binder. A companion demo showed an SF4 sheet feeder module for nonstop feeding from a paper roll.
