New Inkjet Press Being Installed at Mercury Print

Mercury opened its book publishing division four years ago, when publishers began to turn to digital printing for its short turnaround times and on-demand capabilities.

The Kodak Prosper 5000XL system installed at Mercury includes Lasermax Roll Systems wide unwind and rewind units. The finishing lines feature the Stack 2230 systems that, via a Shuttleworth conveyer, feed the Muller Martini Sigma Binder system. The first Prosper 5000 LX installed at a printer in Rochester, Mercury will work with Kodak to promote its press jointly to the industry, providing on-site demonstrations for Kodak customers, as well as for book publishers.
