Continuous forms inkjet is reshaping the USA print market, especially in the direct mail, catalogue, advertising and book segments. MBO, Hohner, Canon, Bilerud and Lundberg teamed up to show a rollfed stitching solution at Printing United 2023. The system demonstrated how multiple products, printed on rolls from a continuous forms press, can be finished without stopping for makeready or changes.
Datamatrix codes printed on the rolls told the sheeter when to cut, the folder when to fold, the cover feeder when to pull and the stitcher when to collect and stitch. Each booklet was tracked in the process and no makereadies were needed in this fully automated solution. MBO's Cobo-Stack even provided labor-less palletizing. Pay particular attention to the booklets being followed by video on the stitcher saddle to see two products in the same stream.
Because of its modular design, this system can also function as a stand alone traditional pocket-fed stitcher, cutsheet digital stitcher, or stand alone rollfed letter fold line, making this investment great to grow with.
