The printing facility:

The digital printing production in monochrome is mainly done on a Xerox Nuvera 120 with a Plockmatic Pro30 booklet maker including trimmer and SquareFold. Colour prints are made on 2x Xerox DocuColor.

The application/applications:

TGH Design produces colour as well as monochrome publications digitally. Monochrome user and service manuals produced just in time in multiple languages is truly one main application.

The SquareFold improves the output by being able to print on the spine. Language options etc are much easier identified and provides a higher value to the customer.
