Amazingly simple operating principle
The operating principle of the high-performance system developed by Muller Martini is amazingly simple: prepress data is processed continually on the digital press. The web is printed on both sides, sheeted in-line, folded, and finished on an integrated perfect binder or saddle stitcher.

The job data from prepress is used for fully automatic makeready of the entire line. The Muller Martini SigmaLine revolutionizes the production capabilities of the Book-on-Demand sector. It opens outstanding opportunities and perspectives for entirely new business models.

Intelligent networking of all production steps
Digital printing has already been well established in the market for several years. But only the intelligent networking of all digital subprocesses allows efficient production and cost-effective solutions for printed products. The SigmaLine combines individual processes in a single workflow with an integrated, end-to-end line control. With this unique Book-on-Demand solution, designed for industrial-style production in multishift operation, Muller Martini is the first in the world to demonstrate competency in all processes from printing to print finishing.
