When it Comes to Books, Don’t Fear the Reaper
Both Naegeli and Burroughs said companies purchasing Muller Martini equipment are generally mid- to high-volume printing companies. “Digital printing is growing,” Naegeli said, “but not at the pace a lot of people thought.”
Even so, Muller Martini recognizes the potential in this market. “Our philosophy is, in this particular sector, to take full advantage of the digital technologies. That means very, very short runs ... and those runs have to be done very efficiently. That means our development goes into zero waste and zero make-ready,” Naegeli explained. Additionally, the company seeks to maximize automation of the machinery to increase efficiency and reduce potential human error. He said the SigmaBinder achieved this goal. Now, the company will focus on improving data handling and plans to reintroduce its SigmaTrimmer.
