Finding a Niche
"The one-part continuous volume is controlled by jumbo rolls. This product is manufactured on the same base press as collated continuous forms with oversized unwinds and rewinds. These usually end up a sheetfed product, but they feed continuously into the printer before processing," Miller said.
According to Allen Simon, president of Datatel Resources Corp., Monaca, Pa., jumbo rolls can print about 80,000 documents per roll, making them a strong choice for high-speed, high-volume printing. Said Simon in September 2012's "The Path to Survival": "In concept, the processing company only needs to mount the roll and push the button. They don't need to do anything to change the paper for 80,000 documents, as opposed to maybe 2,500 documents if it's a cut sheet or continuous product. The advantage of jumbo rolls is high-speed, high-volume processing. The processing company can load up that roll and get many, many more documents."
