From 28 May to 7 June, software manufacturer OneVision and finishing expert Horizon will be demonstrating how integrating the two systems enables fully automated booklet making and highly efficient book-of-one production.
To produce individualized short runs of books, leaflets, brochures and other on-demand print products economically, finishing systems and software have to operate seamlessly together. Visitors to drupa can see how this works in practice in the workflow zone on the Horizon stand in hall 6, booth F21.
Automating file preparation and finishing
"By optimizing production files for post-press processing on cutting and binding systems, including automatic impositioning, commercial and book printers can save valuable production time. OneVision has more than 30 years of expertise in automated PDF preparation and can be easily integrated into existing system landscapes as modular middleware," explains Hans Stöger, Senior Director Research & Development at OneVision Software AG.
The integration of OneVision and Horizon provides automated processes for both file preparation and finishing systems. The optimised print files are seamlessly transferred to the Horizon iCE LiNK system via a JDF interface. Production system set-up and make-ready are therefore much more efficient. The integration will be on show at drupa for both the StitchLiner series and the SmartStacker.
Powerful Automation Suites for automated production processes
OneVision software automates production processes. In a variety of print segments, such as book or commercial printing, the software ensures cost savings, quality improvements, shorter production times, and more flexible and dynamic processes. OneVision's flexible software can be connected to any system, enabling the automation of industrial printing processes from prepress and printing to finishing and embellishment.
