Repeat Smart-binder orders from USA customers

A number of our customers in the USA who have been using IBIS equipment have recently installed additional Smart-binder machines in order to increase their finishing capacity.

Example 1
O'Neil Data Systems Inc. in Los Angeles purchased a Smart-binder SB-3 a few years ago. Because this Smart-binder has easily outperformed other stitching equipment, they decided a few months ago to install an additional new Smart-binder.
Both SB-3 machines are now running from rolls printed on Oce CF printers.

“We recently took delivery of our second IBIS Smart-binder …which was up and running within 48 hours of delivery” says Steve Ellithorpe, Operations Manager of O'Neil Data Systems. “In addition to the ease of start-up, we were extremely pleased by the performance enhancements on the new Smart-binder compared with our older model. Speeds have improved substantially due to several new innovative designs incorporated into the new model. We are now in the process of upgrading our older model with the new features. Both our Smart-binders have proven over time to be solid performers and are operating at peak production rates."

Example 2
Another major USA printer (with multiple Smart-binders at different plants around the country), has now installed a 3rd Smart-binder at their facility in Utah.

These Smart-binders SB-3s are operating off-line and include a post-trimmer folder to fold 8 ½ x 11” documents to 5 ½ x 8 ½” size.

This same customer has also recently installed a 2nd IBIS system at their facility in Pennsylvania.

The Smart-binder (and older model IBIS Digi-stitcher) at this site in Pennsylvania are both operating in-line with Oce CF printers.

 

We will be discussing new Smart-binder installations with our customers and distributors at the ‘Drupa 2008’ trade show (29 May – 11 June)

where we will exhibit a Smart-binder SB-3 in-line with a Xerox printer on the Xerox stand.

I look forward to meeting you at the Drupa exhibition.
