Heidelberg’s Postpress Commercial Information Days Draws Printers, Bindery Firms

Integrated modules and control systems ensure an end product of the highest quality. One example is the unique glue application monitoring function on the Eurobind Pro, which ensures 100% quality assurance in the adhesive binding process. In addition, functions such as thickness and volume monitoring, print image recognition, and barcode reading and analysis provide valuable support for operators of folding machines, saddlestitchers, and adhesive binders from Heidelberg. Special, high-quality materials are used for the paper-feeding parts on all equipment from Heidelberg to prevent the vast majority of marks that impact on product quality. New imposition schemes in combination with oblong feeding on the folding machine enable far higher register accuracy for images or title bars running across two pages - even with heavier grammages. The use of parallel instead of cross folds also reduces natural creasing.
