Print shops struggle with razor-thin margins and find it hard to differentiate from their competitors.

Meanwhile, binderies complain about losing productivity due to inefficient, multi-step punching and binding. At the higher end, they have to deal with expensive, hard-to-maintain hot foil stamping machines or stitching equipment.

With Fastback^®and Foilfast^® systems, we offer printers and binderies a fast, profitable solution: on-demand publishing that requires virtually no machine setup. Stop turning down short-run business. Now you can:

Create StitchFree hardcovers and paperbacks (perfect binding) in minutes, not days – great for one-offs and sample books

Produce longlasting binds that resist 50lbs of pull

Cover books on demand with minimal set-up and waste

Foil print in up to seven colors with the Foilfast^® printer (a faster, inexpensive alternative to traditional foil stamping)

Offer customization and personalization to clients

Provide multiple design options with a range of cover materials, textures and colors

Meet seasonal and periodic surges in demand

Teach non-technical, entry-level employees to operate the system in around a half hour

If low profit margins are an issue, why not attract customers who are willing to pay more for a value-added approach? Instead of offering unattractive spiral binding or punch-and-bind, impress them with our beautiful hard cover, perfect binding and tape binding solutions.

It’s a strategy that’s worked for Kinko’s and Alpha Graphics in the U.S., Prontaprint in the U.K. and Mister Copy in Belgium. And it’s actually more cost-effective for you.

Minimal investment: the systems are highly affordable and can sit on a tabletop
