High Demands on the
Mailroom
To meet their needs, Fynske Medier recently
put a Müller Martini mailroom
with NewsStich and NewsTrim III into
operation. On the KBA Color is a NewsLine-A
Line with integrated stapler and NewStich
as well as a NewsTrim III cutter. Due to the
variety of the semi commercial products produced,
Müller Martini is the only provider that
Fynske Medier can imagine meeting their
needs.
At the inserter with five automatic in-feed
stations for preprint supplements, two central
specifications of FM’s semi commercial
production are met:
1) Tabloid products with gloss cover and removed
pinholes: The publisher produces
a product with gloss cover and stitched in
pre-product without visible pinoles. With the
Müller Martini system, the inserter is fed
manually with four page gloss covers via the
main inserter station with five roll buffers.
The pre-product is printed with a backfold on
The Th possible ibl variations i ti at t Fynske F k MMedier di
which the pinholes of the folder are visible. In
order to allow the products with backfold to
be inserted first; they are flipped, then inserted,
opened, and stitched with the cover. At
the NewsTrim III the backfold with the pinho-
Pre-product P
is stitched in a gloss cover and
pinholes p are trimmed. Additional pre-pro-
ducts
are then added
POSTPRESS
es e is then trimmed. This highly sophisticated
solution
allows for maximum format size and
minimum m paper loss.
2)
Stitched Semi-commercials with additi-
onal
inline inserted supplements: The new
system
can stitch a main product with up to
twwo
interleaved pre-products. At the next in-
sertion
station the bound product can then be
complemented
with up to four additional pro-
ducts.
“This allows us to produce newspaper
sections
as “specials”, that are recognized
by b readers as supplements and not editorial
sections
of the paper” explains Hammelswang.

Fan F Trimmer NewsTrimm III
in
double production mode
Freshly F printed products are buffered to the
FlexiRoll F units, split across both insertion
stations and sent to the NewLiner-A. The tabloid
sent via the main product insertion station
remains closed in the jacket. The second
tabloid sent via the pre-product insertion station
is inserted in front of the first product in
the jacket. Per stitch two products leave the
inserter and are passed off to the NewsTrim
III where they are trimmed. Trimmed product
is then stacked and palleted or can be rolled
up as a preprint.
The move to full automation at Fynske Medier
will, however, not result in a reduction of
manpower.
“WWe
are only striving to reduce error quota
and
thereby raise the quality of the newspa-
per.
Given the large number of supplements
we w produce it is no longer possible to control
f every supplement is really in each news-
paper.
Automatic systems reduce double or
missing m insertion.”

Hammelswang thinks far in the future:
“ In addition to newspaper content we need
o keep the big picture regarding newspaper
development
in our screen of vision. In the fuure
u formats are going to be compacter, alt-
hough
broadsheets, due to the variety of sup-
plements, p naturally have an advantage over
tabloids. However, newspapers will have a
smaller format in five years and will probably
be free of charge at the newsstand and the
supermarket. Only subscribers will pay a
small fee for the convenience of delivery!”
