With the exception of some short-run labels, small rolls are commodity products and the finishing operation must be very efficient for profitable participation in this specialty.
Document Production
A growing number of direct-selling and trade manufacturers have started document printing operations which require digital printing devices coupled with compatible kinds of finishing equipment. Some of these facilities specialize in publications, such as manuals, directories and bulletins. The digital printers may be sheetfed or run from a roll, but processing of the output almost always requires sheet finishing equipment. Since most of the printing is done with black toner, finishing operations make a sizeable contribution to the value of the final product.
