Ingram Books--The Speed of Lightning

"We opted to separate the printing and binding equipment," relates Brewster. "When an order's sent to the printer, the file goes to the color cover printer and, at the same time, a book block is printed. Then they meet at the binding operation."

Bar codes located on the cover and book block are read by a document verification system supplied by Inspectron and integrated into Duplo's Quadrimax perfect binder, to ensure that the cover correctly matches the text.
