In response to increasing demand from its customers wanting more accurate, timely documentation, Interpak Books, the publication manufacturer and producer, chose the Xerox DocuTech 6135 to keep pace with its customer requests.
A division of Nampak Limited, Interpak Books manufactures and produces a wide range of publications from low-cost training manuals to top-quality glossy coffee-table publications. A growing demand from existing and new clients for just-in-time printing forced Interpak Books to re-evaluate its printing technology to keep pace with customer needs. As an established Xerox customer, Interpak Books was well aware of the benefits Xerox technology brought to its business and looked to Xerox to suggest the best technology for its needs.
"We had invested in Xerox technology some time ago, but an increasing demand for just-in-time book printing required a progression to new technology," commented Barry Clarke, Managing Director of Interpak Books. "We needed new equipment that would take optimum advantage of our limited budget, while improving work flow and productivity across the printing floor. Once again Xerox technology proved to meet and exceed our requirements."
Interpak Books selected the Xerox DocuTech 6135 Production Publisher and Digipath to harness the benefits of print on demand, electronic storage and 1:1 marketing. With an output of 135 pages per minute, the DocuTech 6135 also offers thermal tape binding and stitching for in-line production of books, manuals and reports.
"The DocuTech 6135 resulted in an immediate improvement in productivity and job throughput with its DigiPath Scan and Make Ready and Document Library capabilities allowing better workflow management," comments Barry. "We`re even more pleased that the DigiPath includes a colour scanning capability as we had assumed this would be an extra cost which we would need to incur later on."
"The Xerox Just-in-Time documentation solution uses digital technologies to eliminate obsolescence and ensure documentation that matches product specifications. With digital document storage and print-on-demand production, Interpak Books can make changes as needed, and meet short-run requirements," comments Paul Haglich of Xerox South Africa. "Xerox can provide software that enables scanning, make-ready, document storage, Web viewing and submission. Included are capabilities for management and control of documentation, materials customisation, order processing and delivery to meet short-term demand."
