On Demand Machinery, manufacturers of hard cover bookbinding equipment, has announced a partnership with Océ, manufacturer of digital printing presses and solution provider, and TAP Custom, leading supplier of hard cover materials to the 'Print-On-Demand' bookbinding industry. The ODM and Océ solution/partnership was recently on display at both respective booths in Chicago at Print 09.
The digital era brings great new opportunities for publishers and printers. Digital printing systems that can produce runs as short as a single copy and still make economic sense.
Digital book manufacturing makes truly demand-driven production possible, with run lengths and production cycles geared exactly to the demand of the moment.
Océ provides solutions for just-in-time digital production of high quality books from pre-press to finishing, including online administration. The entire workflow is fully automated for maximum profitability.
On-site photo book machines are fast becoming an essential tool and a major profit center for photo labs as well. High quality, on-demand photo books can be produced 'in-house', which guarantees a fast turn around time and a satisfied customer. On-demand photo books are designed to meet the needs of fast-paced digital consumers who expect speed, quality and value.
On Demand Machinery manufacturers a line of bookbinding equipment that enables printers, publishers and photo labs to produce case-bound, hard cover books on-demand. The ODM bookbinding system is 'scalable' to fit individual production requirements. The ODM casemaking system consisting of the Super Sewer, Casemaker XXL, Sticker XXL Smasher XXL and Separator will enable users to produce 'library-quality' books with end-sheets. Books ranging in size from 3x5-inch to 18x18-inch; up to 1/2-inch thick feature front cover window options, padded or non-padded covers, and quality 'turned-edge' construction.
Hard cover books are the next generation for the on-demand digital publishing, printing and photo lab industries. For a free sample hard cover book that is simple to produce, please contact On Demand Machinery.
