Montreal, Canada May 13th, 2024, Ultimate Tech, frontrunner in imposition, nesting and finishing automation, is proud to announce its collaboration with Horizon Finishing at Drupa in Hall 6 to demonstrate live prepress driven automated finishing solutions for full end to end workflows.
Automation in overdrive can only happen when you tie in finishing, which is often the last automation frontier. With open and agnostic solutions like Ultimate Bindery, Print Service Providers can easily include finishing devices as part of their factory automation, ensuring quicker turnaround times, eliminating errors, and helping to solve the ongoing staff shortages.
Ultimate Bindery supports 30 Horizon devices and is a well-connected and well-rounded accessible and user-friendly solution. The 2024.1 version shown at Drupa also includes new Horizon devices such as the BQ-300, the SPF-200A, the SPF-200L and the SPF-2000, and the ESF-1000.
“Horizon Finishing is a frontrunner in finishing automation, and we are happy to demonstrate live workflows at their booth, interacting with the devices on the floor” says Julie Watson, Ultimate Tech CEO. “Finishing automation is within reach for print service providers of all sizes and the benefits are tremendous. Customers can count on the Ultimate Tech team to assist them in this journey.”
“Ultimate Tech is leading in finishing automation solutions,” says Ryuji Kinugawa, Horizon International Managing Director. “Not only are they the only workflow partner to support all of our devices, but their team is also dedicated to serving customers with outstanding experience and know-how.”
Ultimate Bindery 2024.1 can be seen at the Horizon booth in Hall 6 at Drupa, or alternatively, more information is available on ultimate-tech.com.
