    Dear friends,

    I have a doubt about the functionality of gathering unit in Saddle Stitching machine.

    I have the following product I am planning to manufacture for local sales in small quantity:

    PRODUCT DESCRIPTION:

    48 Page A4 Booklet - Centre pinned ; No cover

    In this 48 page booklet, the outter form (16 pages) is in 4 color , printed in my neighbour's office.

    The inner remaining 32 pages (2 forms) are in blac and white. We plan to print the 2 inner forms in our neighbour's 630 mm two unit web offset press with 16 page folding unit.

    SITUATION:

    So, effectively, I need to feed 2 stations in the gathering unit.

    1st Station: 16 Pages form (4 color work)

    2nd Station: 32 Pages B&W (One form remains inside the other since its printed on web)

    QUESTION:

    Will the gathering unit be able to handle the forms in 2nd Station ? Since normally only ordinary 16page forms will be fed to them.

    Now we are thinking of working the 2nd station with 2 overlapped 16 Page forms....will it work ?

    Hope I made the situaton clear.

    Thank you.
