Copresco is the first
customer to take delivery of a new high-volume Horizon BQ-270 perfect binding
system.
“We saw the BQ-270 at the Graph Expo last
fall and bought it on the spot,” says Copresco president Steve
Johnson.
The digitally automated system, which slashes
make-ready times, gives us greater internal control and added muscle to keep
pace with the fast turnaround speed of our on-demand book printing
jobs.
We have paired the
perfect binder with a three-knife HT-70 trimmer that provides precise, one-step
trimming after book binding.
The new binder produces
perfect bound books in sizes from 1/8” to 2” thickness, with covers
ranging from one-color index to four-color process coated stocks.
Steve Johnson and Chuck
Legorreta give instructions to
riggers delivering the new HT-70 three-knife
trimmer.
Perfect
binding provides an affordable and attractive binding method for short runs of
soft cover books, manuals and directories.
The wraparound
covers provide longevity benefits for these volumes and can be varnished or
laminated for additional durability.

We may
have to add a trophy room to the plant. Copresco has won another award.
This time it’s a Gold Award in the synergy category
of The 2002 Newsletter on Newsletters Awards Competition.
The national award recognizes the best use of online
resources to complement the print version of our monthly newsletter, Overnight
Lite.
While we think awards are great, the real reason we work so hard at our communications program is to give you valuable information and timely tips to help you work better and more efficiently.
Steve
Johnson has penned a technical article on “Avoiding On-Demand Paper
Pitfalls” for American Printer magazine.
The
technical treatise is the cover article for the March issue of the graphic arts
journal.
Steve examines common paper pitfalls in digital
printing and offers suggestions to avoid these problems.
You can review the article on the Copresco website.
More questions poured in after last month’s Overnight Lite hit the street.
Q. In your
photo format answer, you stated a preference for tiff files over jpeg photos.
Don’t they take up a lot of space and require more time to send over the
internet?
A. Yes, they do. We have preached about the
need to compress digital files for printing. But, in this case, size
doesn’t matter as much as image quality—and the tiff file provides
superior photo reproduction.
Gee Ranasinha of Dalim
Software states, “With broadband Internet connections pretty commonplace
these days, the distribution of larger files is of less issue than the benefits
of a format with 100% data integrity.”
Q. Okay, I
know I’m not color blind. What about the color perception stuff you
mentioned last month?
A. We are not optometrists or
ophthalmologists, but Copresco knows a lot about the use of color in the
printing process. Three factors are important:
1. Color
blindness. This was discussed last month.
2. Color
perception. This relates to your ability to judge color variables. We can
provide tests to determine your color tolerance levels.
3. Proper lighting. We evaluate our digital color in an
enclosed light booth under 5000K lamps.
We have simple
tests to help you evaluate your color consistency and will be happy to stop by
your facility. Just call or e-mail us.
