manroland Web Systems, Booth 3143
Producing with
print-on-demand to
optimize costs and
being fast on the
market: these are the
challenges of digital
book production. The
FormerLine system
from manroland
web systems is the
industrial-strength
solution to these challenges. Both inline
production and offline finishing of preprinted reels is possible. Together with
the VBC collator, the system generates
stacked signatures of up to 6,000
auxiliary-glued book blocks up to 100
mm thick, per hour.
manroland web systems' FoldLine
digital finishing solution is able to produce newspapers in any format (tabloid, broadsheet, Berlin) in both inline
and off-line operations. Also included
in the FoldLine portfolio are brochures,
magazines, and individual book signatures. FoldLine is designed to produce up to 96 pages (48 pages, broadsheet) with
a web speed of up to 300 meters/min and a web width of up to 1,060 mm. The
system can output up to 2,700 broadsheet newspaper copies with 32 pages, 9,100
bound brochures, or 14,000 16-page signatures per hour. FoldLine can quickly
be prepared for new jobs: the makeready times for format and paper changes are
minimal, and changes to volumes can be made without interrupting production.
