The Bolero line, which replaces two older binders, will primarily support conventional printing operations. With the capability to bind books with spine widths up to 3⅛ inches and as thin as ⅛ inch, the Bolero also expands Webcom's already extensive range of book sizes.
The Acoro and Bolero binders join the fleet of new equipment at Webcom, working in combination with the HP Indigo 7000 cover press, HP T300 inkjet and the Magnum FlexBook. Each new piece of equipment connects to the flow of information for individual book projects as well as the broader management of Webcom's BookFWD production programs. "Publishers need every advantage they can get to stay competitive," says Collinge, "these bindery lines and our BookFWD program address an urgent need to transform the ability of publishers to get and stay ahead."
