GRAPH EXPO & CONVERTING EXPO 2003--Binding and Finishing

"In the future, binderies will require postpress equipment to be equipped with CIP 3/4 capabilities," notes Hans Max, MBO president and CEO. "This interface will allow faster makereadies, quicker job turnarounds and greater overall flexibility. And, if a printer incorporates a CIP 3/4 workflow and a trade binder doesn't, that printer will take his business somewhere else." MBO America signed on recently as a Networked Graphic Production partner, the industry initiative started by Creo to deliver the value of JDF and integration throughout the workflow.
