Finishing Solutions Print Solutions
NPC Print, based in Mytchett, near Camberley, Surrey, has upgraded its bookletmaking capability with the purchase of a Morgana BM4035. The new finishing device replaces a previous Morgana bookletmaker. The BM4035 expands the range of sizes and formats that can be produced.
The BM4035 represents the latest style of bookletmaker in the supplier’s range. The product can produce A6 to A4 portrait publications, as well as A4 landscape and large format 297 x 297 mm books. It also has the ability to corner and edge staple as standard.
NPC Print founder and CEO, Natalie Puttock, commenting on this latest purchase, said: ‘We needed to expand the range of formats that we could produce. Most importantly, the ability to produce long sheets, such as A4 landscape products, a format that has become increasingly popular in recent years – jobs that we have had to send out for finishing. The ability of the new BM4035 to produce this format in-house will give us control of that work, as well as saving us money on outwork.
‘Having recently taken the decision to upgrade our digital print device to a new Konica Minolta AccurioPress C4070 engine, the new binder will help us to show off both our print and in-house finishing capabilities to the fullest. The squareback capability of the binder is a feature that we can also promote for higher pagination publications – it gives the impression of a perfect bound book.
‘The binder will initially be manually fed, but as print quantities increase, we know that we can easily add an automated feeder on to the unit for higher productivity.’
The company currently utilises other Morgana products in its post press section including an AutoCreaser, and an Intec ColourFlare device for foiling and laminating, purchased through Morgana.
The BM4035 is a versatile bookletmaker designed to work with low to mid volume digital production printers. It delivers booklets of exceptional quality and is able to feed long printed sheets to produce a wide variety of applications, including A4 landscape booklets, which are becoming an increasingly important expectation of customers.
Commenting on further on the purchase decision, Natalie added: ‘Our previous Morgana binder gave us exceptional service – it never let us down. That reliability meant that we didn’t need to even look at any other machines in the market. Everybody at Morgana – from sales to installation personnel – have been helpful and very professional.’
NPC Print serves customers ranging from agencies, corporate clients, finance companies, and restaurants, through to local businesses. It operates from premises with warehousing facilities, enabling it to offer free of charge stockholding facility for its customers.
The BM4000 Series uses the latest patented Plockmatic technologies to deliver top quality output. The base unit folds and staples booklets, and also provides for corner or edge stapled. It can produce up to 140 pages (35 sheets with the BM4035) or 200 pages (50 sheets with the BM4050). The set positioning mechanism enables the operator to easily adjust the staple and fold position on the fly. Corner or edge stapling is a fast and simple solution, typically used for producing meeting notes, reference documents, or hard copies of PowerPoint presentations.
The heavy duty staple mechanism is designed for durability, as is maintenance free thanks to a patented solution that eliminates periodic service intervals. Staples are delivered via an easy to change staple cartridge.
