In vs. off (line) — A "Fight" to the Finish

In-line: You can't do variable cutoffs unless you have a variable-size press. You have to have the line sized to match the press cutoff. However, shaftless, variable size, in-line systems are now being manufactured to match variable-size presses.

Manpower
In-line: Operators are running both the presses and in-lines. One crew for each complete printing/finishing line.
