The K8-RS Digi-Folder is “all about efficiency and removing labour” said sales director Les Barton.”

MBO has converted an offset finishing line to a digital by adding a new 1.52m-wide web feeder. The line can run at 24,000sph, Barton said, and demonstrates MBO’s modular, cost-saving approach.

MBO is on an automation mission Barton said finishing should be a one-button operation as printing now is.

“A lot of people think about the print. It’s sexy but we really need to think about the back end of this business,” he said.
