manroland Presents a Quantum Leap in Digital Finishing

The presentation of FoldLine in Augsburg demonstrated what efficient and creative digital newspaper production looks like today. The first product was a 32-page tabloid newspaper in 420 mm x 600 mm format. Eight sections of four pages were collected and folded. The delivered result won over the visitors: ultra-small print runs under 100 copies can be produced one after another, without any interruptions, even if the total number of pages or the book structure of the individual editions vary. This tabloid newspaper featured an added variant, a fold for delivery. This means the newspaper was given a quarter fold as a third fold and delivered at a right angle to the folder via the A4 delivery.

FormerLine for digital book production
Producing with print-on-demand to optimize costs and being fast on the market: these are the challenges of digital book production. The FormerLine system stands for its industrial dimension. Both inline production and offline finishing of preprinted reels is possible. Together with the VBC collator from manroland web systems, the system generates stacked signatures of up to 6,000 auxiliary-glued books, up to 100 mm thick, per hour.
