Integrity: I had a discussion with a customer a while back over why he chose an in-line system over near-line (over the objections of his printer vendor.) His was a high-security booklet operation and he explained that the fewest amount of touches to the work allowed him to sleep better at night.When printed sheets are moved to different devices, things can get out-of-order.Off- and near-line require both moving and staging the work from press to finishing, and often that's a lot of paper to move around. How do you get the work from press-to-finishing? What if the binders are some distance away. Movement: Many people seriously underestimate this piece of the puzzle.Contrast this with an in-line finishing system that can run with ONE person for both the press and finishing (yes, I have seen this in production). Having an off- or near-line finishing solution means you need a separate crew to run it. And labor is a huge portion of the economics of print today. It takes more people to finish the product this way. Labor: Most off- and near-line advocates ignore a very crucial component.Last of all, off- or near-line permit good options for future finishing capacity and capability. Also, if you have to process the work of several different presses, this is the way to go.
Keeping a digital press waiting for the finishing system to be made ready is a very poor use of time. When to choose: If your work is mainly short-run AND requires several format/size changes during a shift, then off-line/near-line is the way to go.When behind a digital press, a restart of the finisher with the press can take several minutes. Stoppages are not trivial on an in-line system. Decoupling a finishing system from the digital press allows the press to PRINT with no possibility of a stoppage from a downstream device. There are advantages (and disadvantages) to each approach:
"Off-line" has been used to mean that the starting point of the product is a printed sheet, while "near-line" means that you are starting from a printed roll. First, the terms "off-line" and "near-line" are commonly confused. So let's look at the in-line and off-line options, and the arguments for each. The short-run nature of digital presses means the finishing process must be carefully analyzed. In-line finishing was quite common in the direct mail world, but you had to have a run of a million pieces or so to make it viable. Web offset presses were not designed for short runs, and adding an in-line finishing system makeready to a press makeready could add many hours (if not a day or so) to the process. The first reaction of many digital print vendors is "don't put anything on the end of my press!" This would have been solid info in the offset world. And with this, lots of ill-considered advice is dispensed! With the growth of digital print, lots of consideration goes into designing the optimum finishing process.
