The gateway to genuine digital production and e-business, the Océ Book Section System 7000 enables commercial printers to make the move from "just" printing to being a fulfillment service provider. It minimises the total cost of process by working with a digital warehouse of documents, which ensures every book produced is a book sold (no pulping). And there is much less capital tied up, which tremendously improves the cash flow.

The solution enables the publisher to increase turnover and profit by enlarging the portfolio (genuine short-run titles, backlist titles, pre-prints and test runs) with ultra-short runs. The publisher can order reprints via Océ PRISMAweb.
