Bilal Koç, Irmak Matbaa, Bursa (left) and Abdullah Erçin, Nese Maatbacilik, Istanbul, (both Turkey): “One of the great advantages of the new generation of machines from Muller Martini is that the machine operator can now monitor the processes through the window. The second one is that despite the numerous technical improvements, the machines are much easier to operate and are highly automated. This naturally increases the profitability in our operations.”

Ian Smith (second from the left), CPI Mackays, Chatham (England): “The great history of Muller Martini can be seen behind the new generation of machines. Now they have even more of an impact with their modern design. This year we will be replacing an old modular binder with a high performance Corona perfect binder. Naturally, this is a large technological advancement for us. Nevertheless, the easy operation will make it simpler for our machine operators to quickly master the new line.”

Thomas Grollimund, Grollimund AG Bookbindery, Reinach/BL (Switzerland): “Muller Martini really astonishes with the new design and the new color of its machines – I think it is a very positive effect. The color Laserblue, which I haven’t seen anywhere else, has a fresh, discreet effect. It’s not at all aggressive. From a technological standpoint, Muller Martini has implemented many improvements in its systems, which will make work easier. What especially impresses me at the drupa stand is that Muller Martini is running demanding products on the machines, not simple ones. That shows a great deal of self confidence.”
