Finishing Solution for Booklets
Beneficial as it is, automated finishing
used to tie up valuable assets on your
shop floor. Prepress and postpress
processes required highly skilled personnel
to set up files to match finishing devices
at the front end and then later to
set up the actual finishing device to
run the job. And you were forced to
dedicate a finishing device to just one
printer. If you weren’t running booklets,
for example, that booklet maker sat
idle. Xerox
®
IntegratedPLUS Finishing
Solution for Booklets changes all that.
Now prepress setup and finishing setup
can be automated, whether or not the
finishing device is inline with a printer or
offline. You get the best of both finishing
worlds—the convenience of inline with
the flexibility of offline, plus unsurpassed
labor savings.
Xerox
®
IntegratedPLUS Finishing Solution
for Booklets enables selected finishing
devices to be set up automatically,
through JDF instructions, whether or not
they are attached to a specific printer. An
operator simply loads sheets and covers
into the finishing device, scans a bar coded
banner sheet and presses “start.” No
manual finisher setup is required. In the
example above, your production printer
can be printing and stacking an annual
report to be perfect bound on an offline
finisher while the inline booklet maker is
busy binding benefit booklets originally
printed on an entirely different device.
Or, depending on your shop, you can
choose to have an offline booklet maker
serve multiple printers. Either way, the
automatic booklet maker setup enabled
by your Xerox
®
IntegratedPLUS Solution
gives you the opportunity to optimize
your investment and your operation by
leveraging automation.
Benefits
•
Eliminates the need for highly skilled
prepress operators to prepare files
according to finisher specifications.
•
Eliminates manual programming at the
finishing device and reduces the risk of
error because the necessary parameters
(e.g., page imposition, page ordering
and trimming) are set automatically
when a job enters your workflow.
•
Extends the convenience and cost
effectiveness of automated finishing to
multiple printers (including Xerox
®
and
non-Xerox printers in the same shop)
without the need for multiple, dedicated
inline finishing devices.
•
Maximizes productivity by enabling
prints to be output to stacker carts at
full rated print speed, while an attached
finishing device binds other jobs at its
full rated speed.
•
Makes it easy to manage a mix of jobs
that include diverse finishing
requirements and short print runs
without tying up a high-volume printer.
