For print providers looking to improve their bookletmaking capabilities, the fully automated DBM-700 Bookletmaker has quickly become a favorite. This versatile solution offers a range of features designed to streamline your workflow, improve your output, and lower your job costs. Here are three reasons why printers can’t get enough of the latest Duplo bookletmaker and what some of our end-users had to say:
1. Unmatched Efficiency
One of the top reasons print providers love the DBM-700 Bookletmaker is its remarkable efficiency. Designed to handle mid- to high-volume jobs, it consistently delivers professionally finished booklets with great precision. It finishes jobs faster than an in-line bookletmaker. And with its automated features and versatile finishing capabilities, the DBM-700 has been improving the productivity and profitability of print businesses across the country.
“The machine has been fantastic. Our bookletmaking production time has been cut almost in half. The automated size changeover is quick and accurate.”
Mark Grasso, Operations Manager at Grasso Graphics
“Our presses run twice as fast when running flat sheets. Now we can run projects multiple-up on a single sheet and save on click charges. It has cut our job costs in half, and we have gained billable capacity back because of it.”
Andrew Bellia, President of Bellia Print & Design
2. Capability to Produce Thicker Books
The DBM-700 isn’t just limited to one type of project—its versatility makes it perfect for a wide range of applications including thicker booklets up to 50 sheets. The bookletmaker also handles larger paper sizes, making it a reliable solution for multiple-up jobs. From letter landscape brochures and promotional calendars to catalogs with a square spine finish, print providers rely on the DBM-700 to do it all on demand.
“For years, I was rolling books over to the perfect binder because they were too thick for our old bookletmaker. Now we can produce a much thicker booklet, and it saves us time.”
Patrick M. Ryan, President of Modern Press
“We have been able to reduce the number of coil-bound books and convert them to saddle-stitched books. The capability to offer thicker books has fueled our ability to move work and save a lot of labor.”
Jason Gilliam, Director of Business Operations at Blue Valley School District
3. Ease of Use
The automated features and ease of use of the DBM-700 significantly reduce the need for skilled labor and the time spent finishing jobs. With setups and changeovers performed automatically, the bookletmaker simplifies operation and enables even less experienced operators to get jobs out the door.
“This machine is made well and is very user-friendly to the operator. We’re producing quality projects with faster turnaround times.”
David LaPash, President of Press America, Inc.
“It began to pay dividends from the get-go. We were folding signatures and then collating and stitching on our old saddle stitcher. With the DBM-700, there is no separate folding, and the jobs run more streamlined. We estimate that we save about 15-man hours per month.”
Lou Ciampi Jr., President of Independent Graphics
The DBM-700 Bookletmaker is a game-changer for print providers, offering a combination of speed, quality, and automation that meets the demands of modern print jobs. Its efficiency reduces job and labor costs, and its finishing ensures that every project looks professional. As many more continue to adopt this innovative solution, the DBM-700 will undoubtedly remain a staple in print finishing for years to come.
