BOOK PRINTING
Book Printing Right here!
With the installation of three key pieces of technology, Benefitz is making it realistic and affordable for publishers and writers to print their books right here in New Zealand. These machines are the JetSX B2 Inkjet Printing Press, Horizon PUR Perfect Binder and Horizon Hard Case Book Binder. Benefitz JetSX B2 Inkjet Printing Press is the perfect printing machine to print short to medium run books. It is a digital printing press so printing plates are not required. It has a sheet size of 740mm x 530mm (B2), the biggest of any flat sheet digital press in Australasia. The inkjet ink is durable, very similar to offset printing inks.The Press can print black and white and full colour in duplex (2 sides of a sheet at once). A big advantage is books can be printed stacked, meaning no extra costs for collating are incurred. Benefitz Horizon BQ-470 PUR Perfect Binder enables the Benefitz team to take the printed sheets from the Benefitz JetSX B2 Inkjet Press and produce finished square spine (PUR bound) books of virtually any shape or size. The BQ470 is a fully automated perfect binder, producing up to 1,350 superior-quality perfect bound books per hour. For those who wish to have their books with the hard cover finish we are able to do this on our Benefitz Horizon HCB-2 Hard Case Binder. The HCB-2 is the ideal solution for producing ‘On Demand’ case bound books. The binding system is designed with an ergonomic concept to increase productivity and efficiency.
This is the perfect solution for short to medium run books to be printed locally. Benefitz can also help with getting books printed offshore should that be the more costeffective solution.
