Combining the powerful Heidelberg Digimaster print system and a new in-line binding system will enable print providers to produce book-quality bound documents much more productively.

Connectivity between Coverbind's 301 DFS and Digimaster 9110 and Digimaster 9150i print systems equipped with a high-capacity stacker or finisher is enabled by the Heidelberg parallel interface.

The new Coverbind 301 DFS is a patented finishing system that produces documents that lay flat, like a book, within minutes.

It is said to be ideal for a wide range of industries, including advertising, banking and insurance.

This system is claimed to provide a more professional, higher-quality bind than tape-binding alternatives.

Coverbind's latest in-line document finishing system employs an edge-gluing system to ensure that all sheets drop into a solid adhesive that is reinforced with a book-binding cloth.

Each cover is scored four times and then pre-folded.

Covers are available in a wide variety - from Classic Antique and Classic Imperial, to Traditional Portfolio, Ambassador and Millennium, along with custom covers.

Heidelberg's parallel interface, which enables the Digimaster system connectivity, is a small black box that 'talks' to the digital front end of the print system, sending an electronic signal to the marking engine about the device the piece will be finished on.

It is easily programmed for full integration of the Coverbind device with the Digimaster system.

The Heidelberg parallel interface also provides connectivity of the Digimaster to other finishing devices to support a range of applications.

The Heidelberg parallel interface to the Coverbind system will be made available simultaneously with the availability of the Coverbind 301 DFS in June 2004.
