Standard to Demo Automated Feeding, Finishing Workflow Solutions at PRINT 13

The Printed Book
While the digital media revolution continues to spark innovations, Standard—together with its suppliers Horizon (of Japan) and Hunkeler (of Switzerland)—believes the paper book will always have its place. In fact, as e-books become the commodity, the value of the printed book will grow and the processes used to make that book will need to evolve in order to keep pace. “Today’s books are printed on demand when they are needed, or more importantly when they are wanted,” said David Reny, executive vice president, Standard Finishing Systems. “Standard is committed to providing the highest quality equipment to efficiently produce books as the market requires. Our solutions enable printers to carry on the long-standing tradition of the paper book and still remain profitable.”

Live Demonstrations and Presentations
Visitors will see over 20 different applications running live on the Standard booth to simulate real-world production environments, including personalized direct mailers with variable coupon perforations, greeting cards, variable short-run books, PUR perfect-bound photo books, full-color/full-bleed booklets, and a variety of unique folding applications.
