PrintPack: Paper Idea displays digital finishing solutions with Paperbind machines

Anuj Mehta, director of Paper Idea, said: "The Paperbind machines have been built with revolutionary PaperBind technology for delivering high-end professional albums and books by using a "pressurebind" technology. We have newly booked 15 Paperbind machines and post this show and by end of financial year 2011, we hope to notch a sales figure of 300 machines," said Mehta.

A series of eight semi-automatic and fully automatic machines PaperBind products have been launched at the show for the photoalbums, document binding solution and other finishing applications in flexible sizes ranging from minimum of 5x7 to 14x20 inches with live demos.

At a demo for the machines for Printweek team, Mehta showed some value added applications with on-demand hot foil stamping, embossing, die-embossing, die-cutting, case making, creasing, round corner cutting and perforation. The equipment could do finishing work on variety of substrates like paper, plastic, polycarbonate, vinyl equally.

The Paper Idea stall is also displaying Taopix photobook softwares, Optimus MIS, and RedTie and Printable FusionPro web-to-print (W2P) software solutions.

On display were Taopix and Printable Fusion Pro software’s solutions targeted mainly towards the digital printers. "The high-end digital printing technology offers immense potential for VDP and personalisation. Retail consumer and institutional demand for such applications is huge and customers are in the lookout for them."

If trends of trade shows and potentials queries are be relied upon, then investment and adoption of W2P for B2B and B2C customers are taking a centre stage.

"Softwares like the RedTie and FusionPro will help to create business opportunities and asset creation with future proof digital technology for the visionary printers seeking to reach new markets," concluded Mehta.
