Automated Book Block Cutting With Microcut
At Expografica, Microcut & Ultimate will demonstrate how job files containing cut block information created by Ultimate’s Impostrip software can be further automated using Microcut’s PLUS cutter control system.
Ultimate’s Impostrip defines the layout in the JDF file and supplies this information to the PLUS controller, adding precision, cost savings & automation to the process. Microcut has nearly 35,000 installations where this automation can be applied, and can be retrofitted to most any cutter (from 20 to 141 in.) including: Polar, Perfecta, Wohlenberg, Lawson, Challenge, etc.
Automated Book Binding With Watkiss
The Watkiss PowerSquare 224—a square spine alternative to perfect binding that stitches up to 224 pages—can be fully automated using Ultimate’s Bindery workflow. Ultimate Bindery—operating as an agent between prepress and the PowerSquare—validates jobs & ensures that only jobs capable of finishing are processed. The combination offers a flexible & reliable approach, eliminating setup errors.
