Saddle Stitching Machines — Saddling the Right Machine

"We've just seen a quantum leap in technology," says Chris Azbill, vice president at United Litho, a short-run publication printer that recently installed a Muller Martini Tempo saddle stitcher.

When United Litho went shopping for a stitcher, speed was the primary factor in its decision, according to Azbill. The Asburn, VA-based operation was facing increasing pressure from its clients to shorten schedules.
