Digital Finishing: Different Paths to Success

"Before, we would use an outside vendor for anything over a 100," notes Ken Seibel, president of The Seibel Group. "Now, we can produce runs in the thousands and stay competitive." The purchase was driven entirely by client demand.

Overall, Seibel feels that digital finishing has come a long way, especially with the new creasing and scoring systems that eliminate cracking across the fold. "As long as jobs are printed with the correct grain direction, 99 percent of our jobs come out perfect," he says. "Our Duplo will also trim the piece to its finished size, even if running multiple-up on a sheet."
