For both print service providers and in house printers and publishers,
pressure is growing to deliver more titles,
often in short runs, faster and at lower cost.
At the same time,
there's a need to control spend and improve sustainability by lowering
the stock levels.
The varioPrint 6000 Titan Series is designed to meet all these demands and
even more. Super fast and ultra reliable.
This press will help print providers to embrace just in time
printing,
turning around high quality manuals,
technical documentation,
books and other materials while reducing time and costs.
The application we will produce
today is a square-backed product manual using the in-line
finisher BLM 550+.
This is an example of the high volume,
multiple language print job requiring precision and quality
as well as short turnaround times to meet product launches.
Different methods can be used to get your source file into your controller,
finished and ready to go.
Customers can upload their files via a Web to Print solution like PRISMAdirect
or EFI Digital StoreFront.
Customers send a raw file that requires work prior to being sent to the
printer,
using,
for example,
a preparation software such as PRISMAprepare
or customers send a PDF directly to the printer
and the operator makes all adjustments at the PRISMAsync controller.
With the varioPRINT 6000 Titan Series
you can install up to three paper input modules,
each holding up to 13,800 sheets,
replenishing on-the-fly to maintain full productivity.
If you want to produce four books,
you can select the option of Flexi-PIM (Paper Input Module)
to print on larger sized paper,
350mmx500mm.
Last but not least,
all the paper trays can be used as inserters,
for example,
to insert colour covers.
To
ensure,
full productivity and perfect quality the varioPRINT 6000 Titan Series
is equipped with Gemini technology
that prints both sides at the same time,
allowing nearly perfect registration,
which is a must for book printing
for example.
Another functionality is CopyPress technology with low fusing
temperature,
you get flat sheets and perfect stacking for finishing.
The toner
has matte and dark grey tones that resemble offset printing,
which is very nice for reading.
The embedded PRISMAsync controller offers intuitive control,
media based workflow and scheduling up to eight hours ahead,
which increases customer productivity.
The varioPRINT 6000 Titan Series allows printing on light media
as low as 45gsm to print applications such as
pharmaceutical inserts. A great advantage is to
reduce also the shipping cost by printing on very light media.
The BLM 550+ allows the finishing of square-back manuals
in-line.
Other options for in-line finishing include the Bourg binder to
produce perfect bound books. In this growing application area
book printing is in great demand. Dynamic publishing
workflow and automation allow on-demand production,
including for the 'Book of One'.
The varioPRINT 6000 Titan
Series has some unique technologies that meet the challenges of print
providers, in-house printers and publishers,
delivering more jobs faster and with best in class system
performance.
High levels of uptime are delivered by the ultra reliable straight
paper path that never stops or turns sheets,
less errors and enabling printing on ultra light paper -
45gsm.
The varioPRINT 6000 Titan
Series produces high quality applications with
unsurpassed front and back registration, consistent and offset
like quality with nearly perfect flat output.
