Casa Publicadora Brasileira (CPB), based in São Paulo, has relied on Muller Martini finishing solutions for many years. One year after purchasing an Alegro perfect binding line, the company, is also investing in two new hardcover systems from Muller Martini.
The most recent investments were a Primera MC saddle stitcher, a Vareo perfect binder with InfiniTrim three-knife trimmer and, a year ago, an Alegro perfect binder, which is currently being installed.
In addition to saddle stitching and perfect binding, the company, which covers the entire graphic production chain from prepress to press and postpress, is also involved in the hardcover segment. The company, which belongs to the Seventh-day Adventist Church, is one of the technological leaders in graphic arts in Brazil. In order to be at the cutting edge of technology there as well, CPB is investing in a Diamant MC 60 bookline and an RF 700 backgluing and backlining machine as a replacement for a BF 530 book line. Both systems will be installed in the coming year.
The RF 700, which can be configured as a 30 or 70-cycle/minute line, is the most universal gluing solution for thread-sewn book blocks: gluing on endpapers, gluing off and rebating. All processes take place in a single machine. The CoPilot system also enables efficient operation and the fastest make-ready times.
