Web Printing:
Web printing (also called roll-fed printing) is a printing method
in which paper
is fed into the press from continuous rolls (webs), as opposed to flat
sheets as in sheet-fed printing, and are used for publications such
as newspapers and magazines.
Sheet-fed Printing:
Sheet-fed printing is a method of applying paper to a press
in which the paper is fed into the press as sheets rather than a web.
UV Coater:
Ultra-violet cured coatings can be applied over ink printed on
paper and dried by exposure to UV radiation. This high solids level
also allows for the coating to be applied in very thin films. UV
coatings can be formulated to a wide variety of gloss ranges.
Bindery and Stitching:
From the hard cover books at the local library, to the spiral notebooks,
to the comb-bound cookbooks, all are examples of binding.
Saddle Stitching:
Saddle Stitching involves placing a series of collated forms over a
saddle and driving stitches through the gathered piece's backbone.
Companion operations such as inline trimming, drilling, punching, refolding,
wafer sealing, shrink wrapping and packaging all increase the value of
stitched products.
Perfect Binding:
Perfect binding is technique in which a paper cover
is attached to a stack of signatures with the help of glue. Using a thicker
paper for the cover. You may have heard some terms like paperback binding,
lay-flat bind and Euro bind. All these refer to the perfect binding only.
Plastic Comb Binding:
Comb binding is one of many ways to bind pages together into a book.
This method utilizes round plastic spines with rings.
