Worldcolor Chooses SigmaLine from Muller Martini

Worldcolor, the global manufacturer of nearly one billion books annually, announced the purchase of Muller Martini’s SigmaLine, along with Kodak’s Prosper 5000 XL Press featuring continuous inkjet technology to be installed in its Dubuque, Iowa facility.

Worldcolor’s adoption of Muller Martini’s SigmaLine technology emphasizes the growing need for printers to provide their customers with sophisticated digital services. Today’s publishing market is intensely competitive and driven by economic mandates to decrease obsolescence waste, reduce forecasting risks and better manage inventories. The result? A clear opportunity for book manufacturers to complement traditional offset operations with high-speed, short-run digital capabilities.
