Henry Ling Ltd – Publication Printing Solution

We have recently installed a bespoke publication printing solution for a commercial print house in Dorchester. Henry Ling Limited, is a leading manufacturer of journals and books. They came to us to solve a problem they were experiencing with their production process. During the production of their books a pre-printed data matrix code is needed on the edge of each book being printed. The code carries all information the production process needs about the size of the book, thickness of the book and the hardback cover size to be applied. The data matrix code needs to be present on the publication throughout the production process but during the final stage when the book is cut to its final size, the code would then need to be removed. It sounds fairly simple, but an additional challenge was the thickness of the books. They produce publications that range between 5mm and 75mm, which in terms of a printing solution is a big variation. This type of printing quandary is right up our street. We were able to design a vertical positioning system for moving the ink jet print head to the optimum position to print reliable data matrix codes on any book thickness.
