Webcrafters Adds Second Digital Book Production Line

With the onset of high-speed digital inkjet presses, Webcrafters chose the Kodak Prosper 5000XL Press as its print engine and recently added a Prosper 5000XLi. Since the presses have a print width of up to 24.5" at speeds up to 650 fpm, Webcrafters needed technology that could keep up with these press speeds with four-color printing on lightweight, coated stocks. That was one of the main reasons why pairing it with Muller Martini’s SigmaLine book manufacturing system made good business sense. In addition, SigmaLine interconnects prepress, digital printing and finishing in a unique system that permits fully automated production from a PDF to a finished book in a single operation.
