OUR CHALLENGE
This job created binding challenges
due to stepped text pages. When
collated and trimmed in a normal
manner, the clamping pressure in
the knife unit on the stitcher made
a knick in the longer section of
text pages. We attempted to flip
the material and trim from the
opposite side, but the knick was
then transferred to the cover.
The solution was to gather and
trim the text in one pass, merge
the text and covers, and stitch in
a final pass.
