Muller Martini
Serving the finishing solution needs of trade binderies, Muller Martini (www.mullermartiniusa.com) exhibited the AmigoDigital, a system designed to work in line or near-line for high-end finishing needs of both digital printers and short-run book manufacturers. When configured in line, AmigoDigital adapts itself from data supplied by the upstream machine. Its near-line configuration takes settings directly from the hand feed/measuring station. The AmigoDigital plugs into on-demand workflows in order to transfer each book to the bindery for hands-free setups. The system's spine gluing station has a two-roller applicator for even coverage, and a side gluing station adds an extra measure of durability to the book by applying glue to the front page and back page of the book block.
