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.
