PRINT 01 PREVIEW -- Power of PRINT

It's not just web press manufacturers that are trying to cut make-readies, however, reports Werner Rebsamen, professor emeritus at the Rochester Institute of Technology. The theme of PRINT 01 for bindery equipment is going to be zero makereadies, he reveals.

"It doesn't matter how fast the machine runs. Jobs are becoming shorter and shorter. We are becoming short-order cooks, so makeready times need to be shortened." Rebsamen says PRINT will find industry leaders such as Muller Martini, Stahl, MBO and Polar showing more and more equipment that is fully automated.
