Making its first venture into PUR binding, Your Print Solution has installed a DigiBook 200 PUR binder from Morgana Systems.
The DigiBook 200 is well suited for the short to medium production runs undertaken at the High Wycombe digital print company.
Steven Brown, managing director, said, ‘We had looked at hot melt binding as a solution, but the latest range of Morgana’s PUR machines really impressed us with the quality of bind produced and the range of materials that it could handle.
‘We had been using a short-run fast bind solution previously, working with EVA glue, but we were finding this unsuitable for larger publications and certainly troublesome for digitally produced pages on certain stocks. PUR seems to be able to cope with just about anything we need to bind, delivering a solid, reliable finished publication.’
Typical binding work at the company can be anything from runs of one through to 200 copies or more. The DigiBook 200 handles spine lengths from 110 mm to 320 mm and a maximum thickness of 50 mm.
‘During this first few weeks of operation with the DigiBook 200 our team has been able to test out the product on a wide variety of work, including a run of brochures consisting of 300 copies. Production has been fast and the strength of bind is fantastic.
‘This new machine will help us move into the short-run digital photobook market, where the business-to-business sector will be in sharp focus for us. We are also intending to expand our trade binding services as there are currently no other short-run PUR capabilities in this area,’ added Steven Brown.
