"We need to keep the main thing, the main thing," adds Keihm. "Printers aren't just looking for technology or fancy electronic packages. They're looking for ways to minimize costs and increase productivity. The challenge is to make it simple, not add bells and whistles. Stitchers must be durable and versatile. They should offer high speed, value-added features, quality finished products, ease-of-operation and faster makereadies. These are the machine attributes that not only make books, but also make money for their owners."
