Digital Printing--On-demand Finishing Finesse

In this scenario, the printer chooses an automated, off-line system, thinking it might be a good fit. Why? First, the capital investment is roughly half compared to in-line finishing; since this particular commercial printer is cost-conscious, this is a strong selling point. Also, independent operation means that overall up-time will be boosted; plus the system can serve as a finishing device for the operation's conventional offset press work, if it is outfitted with a collator.
