Müller Martini Book Technology launches photo book binding solution

The growth rates are no longer as high as in the first years, but still in the double digits. At Albumprinter, a Dutch photo book producer, who offered the first photo books throughout Europe on the Internet, the revenue from 2003 to 2007 increased a staggering 22.000 percent and in 2010 still achieved an increase of 35 percent.

Durable Book binding for long life cycles

Flawless digital printing and solid binding contributes to the enjoyment of photo books for many years. Müller Martini Book Technology developed the photo book line Diamant MC Digital to satisfy the rapidly growing demand. It is based on the high-tech Diamant MC Bookline which daily produces millions of hardcover books throughout the world.

The Diamant MC Digital adjusts itself sequentially to certain book thickness variations and automatically changes over for larger width differences without having to stop production. Therefore, the challenge of varying thickness is achieved. Photo book productions where every book has an individual thickness can be produced efficiently. The commercial production of photo books has herewith become a reality.

In North America, yearbooks are very popular and numerous photo- and year book manufacturers are already relying on the Diamant MC Digital. Day after day they produce many photo books with this machine. Also, the first Diamant MC Digital was delivered to the Far East for the production of photo books. It is the first choice worldwide to join book blocks and cases of photo books economically and with top quality.

Photo books are popular gifts. They are beautiful memories of special events and special people. Not only images can be inserted into the photo books but also a text. Thus, self-written poems, short stories and even drawings can be self-published in a photo book. For the photo book it opens up a variety of options. If it is professionally produced it has a very bright future for various applications.
