Sample Customer Testimonials
RR Donnelleys, Lancaster, PA, USA We've been
using our Digi-stitcher DST2 heavily for the past
four years. We are coming off one of our peaks
where we produced over 500,000 books with pages
ranging between 16 and 128. Each of these books
are variable in nature in that every page is
different and every book has a different page
count. We are now in the process of looking to
purchase a second IBIS line. Randy Zercher,
Digital print supervisor, RR Donnelleys, USA
Note this customer has since installed a new
Smart-binder system and is equally delighted with
its performance
R V, Germany R V produce large numbers of
individually personalised insurance documents,
each up to 128 pages thick. These are made using
the Smart-binder SB-3s unique ISG cold gluing
system which offers many advantages over wire
stitching for this application. Covers with a
cut-out window are fed selectively from a
multiple-bin feeder. According to print manager,
Mr Hees, the system performs trouble-free . ...
