Ripon Expands Its Bindery
RIPON, WI—New equipment and systems will complement a 4,300-square-foot addition to Ripon Community Printers, the company announced. Ground was broken February 5 on the addition, which will give Ripon a total of 210,000 square feet. Highlighting the new equipment to be added is a Muller Martini Prima SB Model 390 saddle stitcher, which has 10 pockets with cover feeder and features inside/outside ink-jet and selective capability. The unit will give Ripon five saddle stitchers in all, while a fourth Prism ink-jet controller is also slated. The company also plans to replace its baler system and relocate its shipping area.
