Graph Expo Review: Postpress - Leveraging the New Normal

Spiral Binding/James Burn USA touted the redesign of its Alpha-Doc automatic punch, which now has three different speeds and can handle up to 48,000 sph. Also trumpeted was the high-speed Lhermite BB400 in-line Wire-O binder, with speeds up to 3,000 booklets per hour.

A slow and steady pace gave way to a doubling of visitors on the second day of the show (Monday), according to Andre Palko, president of Technifold USA. The sometimes publisher was in full bloom with the latest issue of his magazine, Bindery Success, the Graph Expo 2011 edition. Among the newer items on the Technifold menu is its new spine creaser for saddlestitchers. The spine creaser can be installed in 30 minutes or less using allen keys.
