Sodexo Enterprises, based in Versailles, France, has added a Plockmatic BLM5050 bookletmaker to its large print production installation. The new bookletmaker links in line to one of the operations Canon imagePress C10010VP print engines.
The in-house print unit at Sodexo produces a large variety of print on Canon print engines. Many of the products are output in booklet form, from five to 50 sheets in A4 format (both portrait and landscape), with most requiring a short print run – from just a couple of copies, up to 30. Approximately 80% of the work produced is for its own internal business use, with 20% of work for other companies within the Sodexo Group.
The Plockmatic BLM5050 bookletmaker is installed in combination with a Canon imagePress C10010VP.
