Development of on-demand binding equipment

We have come to the era of on-demand printing. The number of jobs is decreasing, and the demand for quality is getting higher and higher. According to the latest statistics from the US Printing Department (PIA), from 1996 to 1998, the average annual growth rate of the US commercial printing market was 7%. During the same period, the short-to-medium press printing sector in the printing industry increased by as much as 19.2%. This transaction amounted to 1.42 billion US dollars, accounting for about 1/7 of the US printing market. If these small transactions are not counted, the remaining printing market will grow at an average annual rate of only 5.3% in these two years. It can be seen that the growth rate of small-scale commercial printing is more than 3.5 times that of other commercial printings. This is an exciting news for friends who are engaged in light printing. Fast Printing Solutions Previously, short-run printing was rare, especially high-end short-run printing, so there was no special requirement for the form and quality of binding. Tape binding, plastic spiral binding, special format double-sided iron wire binding are the commonly used binding forms. But now, customers and users demand that the binding is very beautiful, rather than requiring a large number of bindings. Printer manufacturers understand this need and propose high-end bookbinding solutions to match short-run offset presses. This is the case with DocuTech binding technology and Indigo's binding technology. Some digital printing systems provide online binding and saddle stitching. DocuTech bookbinding technology is relatively low cost but relatively low quality. If you want to get better quality, it will be better to use traditional binding machines to bind. However, DocuTech's paper specifications are suitable for a certain type of printed matter. For example "7*9inch" computer manual. This type of booklet can be printed on a digital printing machine using "9*14 inch" paper and then cut into "7*9 inch" sizes. But still need to use other binding machines to complete the final process. When quality requirements are high, you should be familiar with a high-end short-run printing market. For small business leaders or people who print on demand, knowing the difference between binding forms is of great benefit. This will broaden the benefits of broadening the business and winning more customers. Companies should concentrate on what is considered to be a very important job. Some other jobs can be processed outwards, which is conducive to exerting their expertise. The era of mass reproduction has passed and most of today's pursuits are personalized printing. There are companies with large and complete businesses that will be greatly constrained by the "We do all things" in their business objectives. For some flexible companies, they reorganized the company by streamlining the organization. In this way, you can flexibly adapt to changes in the market. Short-length wireless glue binding A good book should be firmly bound and the spine should be smooth and flat. In order to meet these requirements, it was necessary to use large machines such as Ratiobinder manufactured by Kolbus. However, on such a binding machine, it takes too much preparation time but it is very efficient. This long preparation time and excessively high binding efficiency increase the cost of short-run live binding. Fortunately, there are already binding machines for high-end short-run printing, such as the Mullini Martini Amigo binding machine, which offers the same quality as the Kolbus Ratiobinder. The binding industry in the United States has set off a trend of on-demand production, and many companies are facing decisions. Some companies have already modified some equipment to meet the current market demand. There are also a small number of companies that ignore the needs of the market and accept business at a traditional price. However, the crux of the problem is that in printing companies, the jobs of large printing companies are rarely processed. Large-scale printing companies already have binding machines, but small-scale print-on-demand companies have almost no binding machines. Even if it does, the quality needs to be improved. For some time, popular binding methods such as lithographic wireless glue binding are only suitable for large-volume print jobs. Now, new staplers like Pepkover have been developed for the short-run market, and the high-quality market continues to be developed. The Pepkover machine declared that its number of books can be loaded from 25 volumes. In today's commercial competitive environment, there is a shortage of labor. It is no secret that printing companies have difficulty keeping talent. Those companies that are eager to develop rapidly need to seize the strategic opportunity to find out if the equipment they own in a particular environment is suitable. The company can no longer find a suitable candidate for training. Today’s keen entrepreneurs understand that they cannot do everything for all people. Those who are carefully selected will not necessarily rise to the desired position. Success depends on grasping and exploiting opportunities. At the same time, the company gives him greater power.
