Minors Printing -- Staying Ahead of the Game

Jon Shelton, production manager, credits the 321-T for substantially streamlining Minors' overall postpress operations. "In the past we were making books at speeds in the neighborhood of 1,200 an hour, which raised quality concerns and often caused bottlenecks in production, especially on longer run jobs." Shelton reports that the new stitcher allows them to run at cycle speeds approaching 8,000 books an hour, while maintaining quality levels he defines as "right on the money."
