New Binding System Connects to Digimaster Print System for Inline Book-Quality Finishing
04/01/2004
Combining the powerful Heidelberg Digimaster Print System and a
new inline binding solution will enable print providers to produce
book-quality bound documents much more productively, Heidelberg
announced today
Seamless connectivity between the Bindomatic 301 DFS and Digimaster 9110 and Digimaster 9150i print systems equipped with a high-capacity stacker or finisher is enabled by the Heidelberg Parallel Interface.
The new Bindomatic 301 DFS is a patented finishing system that produces docu-ments that lay flat, like a book, within minutes. It is ideal for a wide range of industries, including advertising, banking and insurance. This system provides a more professional, higher-quality bind than tape-binding alternatives.
Bindomatic's latest in-line document finishing system employs an edge-gluing system to ensure that all sheets drop into a solid adhesive that is reinforced with a book-binding cloth. Each cover is scored four times and then pre-folded. Covers are available in a wide variety - from Classic Antique and Classic Imperial, to Traditional Portfolio, Ambassador and Millennium, along with custom covers.
"Digimaster system customers will be able to employ Bindomatic's solution to produce bound documents with the book-like appearance of commercial perfect binding - in-house and on-demand," said Robert Taylor, vice president, partner management and support, Heidelberg's Digital Print Solution Center. "They'll benefit from producing these bound booklets - in-line in a fraction of the time of other binding solutions."
In addition, Taylor noted that independent testing has proven the binding is as strong as any perfect binding solution available on the market today.
The Bindomatic 301 DFS system's key features include:
The Heidelberg Parallel Interface to the Bindomatic system will be made available simultaneously with the availability of the Bindomatic 301 DFS in June.
