If your business creates a lot of marketing documents, product manuals, or booklets, you probably need a booklet maker machine. It is possible to create these booklets manually, but the process is extremely time-consuming. A high-quality booklet maker can save you lots of time in your busy work schedule. Some people may prefer outsourcing their booklet-making job. However, if you need a lot of booklets, manuals, or presentations on a regular basis, it makes sense for you to invest in a booklet maker machine. Binding a document not only keeps all the pages together in the desired sequence but also makes it easier to handle them safely. These machines can effortlessly turn your printed materials into professionally finished content that will surely grab the attention of the readers.
Before you start shopping for your booklet maker, it is important to know that these machines are available in several distinct forms and the best fit for your business will depend on your specific requirements and expectations. According to your need, you may require a machine for creating mass duplicate booklets for your workers or sales materials with a high-end appearance. Businesses also need these machines for creating professionally designed official demonstrations to be kept on a shelf at the workplace.
From compact low-volume desktop solutions to high-end, high-capacity machines, booklet makers are available in all shapes and sizes. The most common application of these machines is the production of booklets in tandem with a digital print engine capable of creating high-quality magazines or booklets. The machinery requirement is generally determined by the volume of work. While producing high-volume of materials from a lithographic press, a tower collator fed unit is preferred. However, rather than individual sheets produced by a lithographic press, it is far more convenient to produce digital output in a collated sequence. If several different style outputs are to be produced in a given day, it is better to use either a hand-fed machine or a machine equipped with a digital feeder that can feed materials from a twin feed bin setup in collated order.
Choosing between Collators and Digital Feeders
Digital feeders are a type of traditional collator towers that feed the materials utilising vacuum feed technology. However, unlike traditional collator towers, they can take multiple sheets from a single feed tray. This methodology allows users to start production virtually from their digital print engine’s first delivered output. On the other hand, with a traditional lithographic output, the entire job must be completed before the start of booklet production. Many different types of digital feeders are available in the market, with double and single feed stations. Traditional collator towers can run much faster compared to a digital feeder because they take just one sheet from each of the active feed trays. However, as already discussed, the entire set must be loaded as individual pages before a collator can start production.
Making the right choice between collators and digital feeders will ultimately come down to your application. A collator is the better option for volume printers making use of traditional printing methods. However, a digital feeder is better for a short run on demand digital printer.
