Inline Finishing
Unlock the potential of higher productivity and product differentiation with inline finishing
With ever more automated printing systems, having a finishing process solution directly connected to the press – inline finishing – shortens production times, reduces labour costs and energy, plus cuts back on waste, as well as enabling you to increase flexibility and profit margins on print jobs.
Finishing systems are critical as digital press technology continues to evolve – and can regularly contribute to as much as 40% of press system and machine production costs. With updates in digital production technology, SME printers have woken up to the fact that investing relatively modest sums in folding equipment printing, packaging and finishing solutions - whether inline finishing or nearline finishing - can lead to significant productivity and process improvements and reduce costs for the printer.
Results from a drupa global trend report showed that 48% of respondents were planning to invest in printing finishing equipment, and 40% are investing to drive efficiency improvements. Booklets, stackers, trimming, finishing and stacker options can all be part of the printing press solution.
