GRAPH EXPO & CONVERTING EXPO 2002 -- Showing Signs of Recovery

In the bindery arena, finishing gear that increases throughput speeds will be showcased. This is achievable, in part, through state-of-the-art equipment that incorporates computer-controlled makereadies with motorized setups and touchscreen operator interfaces. However, the mantra isn't just investing in bindery gear to enable finishing systems to keep pace with faster and more productive presses. Today's smart printers look at the bindery as a profit center in its own right and, more broadly, view postpress, mailing and fulfillment services as major avenues for growth.
