“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.”
Modern Press Patrick M. Ryan, President
“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.”
Independent Graphics Lou Ciampi Jr, President
“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.”
Blue Valley School District Jason Gilliam, Director of Business Operations
“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.”
Bellia Print & Design Andrew Bellia, President
“The machine has been fantastic. Our bookletmaking production time has been cut almost in half. The automated size changeover is quick and accurate.”
Grasso Graphics Mark Grasso, Operations Manager
“This machine is made well and is very user-friendly to the operator. We’re producing quality projects with faster turnaround times.”
Press America, Inc. David LaPash, President
“It has been a workhorse and is up and running every day that we need it. We have been able to do books faster."
