RISO Inc. announced the release of the company’s new automated binding system, making RISO the first cut-sheet inkjet printing solution in its class with inline Perfect Binding capability. The RISO Perfect Binder incorporates the benefits of inkjet technology and the production speed of the ComColor X1 series printers, and converts the system into a self-contained book manufacturing solution for both short-runs and high-volume production.
RISO’s inkjet Perfect Binder solution prints books as thick as 300 sheets of 20-lb. bond, which meets or exceeds the production needs of most digital book printers. Combining power and versatility in a 6x12’ operating footprint, the perfect bound, full-color books produced by RISO’s inline system also enables printing of the covers and pages, with the ability to insert pre-printed covers and pages as well.
In lab-controlled tests, the Perfect Binder with a ComColor 9150 produced 60 100-page 8 1/2x11” books in just 170 minutes, eliminating many of the time-and-labor intensive processes inherent in more traditional perfect binding workflows.
The high-speed, fully automatic RISO Perfect Binder is a new accessory for the X1 Series, broadening its range of applications. It is engineered for use in a wide range of industries and settings, such as corporate, manufacturing and educational environments.
“The growth of short-run on-demand and self-publishing necessitates that technology keeps pace with the world’s demand for faster and better,” noted Richard Mattina, associate vice president, marketing and business development, RISO Inc. “Any tool that can attract more business and provide profitable new revenue streams is of real value. One such growth segment is that of self-publishing. The number of self-published books produced annually has grown 287% over the last seven years – a significant growth channel for those PSPs prepared to service it.”
