IBIS recently developed a highly customized finishing solution for the U.S. printer Lellyett and Rogers.
Our brief from L & R was to provide an off-line system to make high quality health care booklets comprising a mixture of "main content" sheets, pairs of "NCR sheets" and a cover sheet. Booklets must be bound using the Smart-binder’s unique cold-gluing process. Each personalized booklet contains a different combination of sheets from the three different feeders, as defined by 2D codes printed on the sheets.
A "matching" system is required to ensure integrity of each booklet. This necessitated the development of a new sheet feed control system and also Smart-binder modifications to handle the NCR stock without causing pressure marks. The system was successfully installed earlier this year and has been used for continual live production for some months.
