shaping inline finishing to business

Over the last five years the printing industry has become increasingly commoditized and struggled to add value. Finishing, traditionally seen as an after thought and production bottleneck, is now being viewed as a critical stage in production and a way to differentiate products and create added value. It is not unusual for finishing to be as much as 40% of the production costs and often where all the value creation can be destroyed through poor quality control. SME printers have woken up to the fact that investing modest sums in finishing equipment can gain significant productivity improvements and reduce cost.
