No Drying Time
"This means no offset inks and no drying time," Johnson points out. "That is an essential consideration for on-demand finishing, where the binding process may begin as soon as the first copy of a book comes off the press."
Johnson stresses that Copresco never allows the fact that its jobs are printed on-demand to limit the client's binding options. Nor is print-on-demand an excuse for inferior quality, he says. Copresco offers wire stitching (corner, side, saddle), mechanical (GBC, plastic coil, double-loop wire) and adhesive (perfect, tape) binding, as well as drilling, shrink-wrapping and insertion into ring binders for looseleaf books. Case binding (hard cover), Otabind (lay flat) and single-loop wire (spiral) are outsourced to trade binderies.
