Book Stacker offers TOTAL automation for On Demand Book Printing
Benefits:
Book Stacker was designed to ease and automate the production of cut and stack books for the digital printing environment.
Book Stacker makes short run books more profitable and production efficient. It eliminates paper waste by regrouping similar length books together. It automates multiple hundred page books by printing a single book in multiple stacks.
Book Stacker optimizes your production by sending books to print as they are read, meaning continuous feed to the RIP.
Book Stacker’s ability to take over 150 types of files will ensure that you will never say “no” to a customer, thus, providing a great competitive advantage.
Optimizing Cut and Stack books:
Book Stacker will automatically produce cut and stack books for one job or for multiple jobs. It is as simple as creating queues using any number of ups to automatically process single books or multiple books using the same queue with manual or automatic output; or, create up to 99 sets of queues, inside of which books get processed and optimized to match the number of pages in order to reduce blanks. Book Stacker will add blank pages to equal the number of sheets printed.
Hot Folders
Save your template information and preferences to your hot folder, and use this to drop your files in as they come. Place this hot folder on an ftp site have your client drop in their files when they are ready. Book Stacker will place the book in the queue, and you will see it appear.
Dynamic Templates
You can drop jobs of varying lengths, page size and format into the same hot folder. The imposition becomes dynamic as Book Stacker re-centers the page and the marks. For example, if you have a template for 4, 8 ½x11 books, and one of them is 8x10, Book Stacker will re-center and adjust the marks without you needing to create a new template, nor to edit a template.
