Streamlining Binding Efficiency with Ultimate Bindery 2025

Tuesday 25. February 2025 - Ultimate Bindery digitizes the on demand finishing production workflow where the total number of short run jobs is increasing, and in version 2025, it has boosted computational strength to enable the productivity of even tens of thousands of jobs daily going to different finishers.

Ultimate Tech, leader in imposition, nesting and finishing automation, is proud to announce Ultimate Bindery 2025, its industry-defining technology to enable finishing automation for the book binding industry.
The book binding process can have its level of complexity, especially in a multi-vendor environment. Ultimate Bindery’s one-of-a-kind capability to understand and virtualize each paper transformation including manifest and perceptible variables as well as unseen and invisible variables to the binding manufacturing make it a powerful software solution. It not only automates the workflow from simple to complex jobs for devices that can be nearline, inline or set as a finishing line but it can also validate jobs before they are printed, saving large-scale waste.
New devices are also available growing the list to over 88 devices, including Muller Martini Prinova Digital Saddle Stitcher, Horizon APC660, Horizon AFC-744AKT, Horizon AFC-746AKT and Horizon AFC-746F.
“I’m very excited about the release of Ultimate Bindery 2025.1.”, says Masataka Sakai, Ultimate Finishing Automation Architect, “As digital printing becomes more important to business, the need for finishing automation is also growing. With adding the new support finishing devices, our solutions will contribute more to reduce customers’ total cost and grow their business.”
