 Experience
Our specialist team is dedicated to producing reference products and
keeping tight control of your projects. We make it our business to
understand and meet your requirements.
The All-Digital
Advantage
Webcom was among the very first North American printers to offer Professional
Publishers the benefits of all-digital prepress. Our Computer-to-Plate
systems allow the elimination of camera ready art and the labour intensive
film stage from production, resulting in substantial cost and time
savings. This is particularly important to the Professional market
where large page extents and tight turnarounds are the norm.
The benefits available to you are considerable:
- Your files can be sent to our password-protected FTP
site from anywhere in the world.
- Our filmless Computer-to-Plate
system cuts costs and turnaround time while improving quality.
- Digital color proofs assure that your covers will be printed
exactly as you expect without the cost of film.
- Projects can be sent to offset or digital presses depending
on the quantity needed.
- All projects are digitally archived for fast and economical
updates and reprints.
Short-run
Digital Print on Demand
Advances in short-run digital printing technology have made it feasible
to manufacture small quantities of books with a very fast turnaround.
Call on this service for:
- promotional copies
- inventory control between edition updates
- for highly-specialized, low-volume products
The proper use of this new print technology offers several benefits
to you;
- You can capitalize on opportunities by getting to market faster
- Professional Publishers can reduce inventories and free up working
capital
- You'll see a sizable decrease in the costs of obsolete inventory
User
Friendly, Lay-Flat Otabind™ Binding
Webcom was the first book manufacturer in North America to offer this
unique binding. Otabind allows reference materials to lay flat and
stay open for hands-free use. That's something your customers will
appreciate and it doesn't cost any more than regular perfect binding.
For those titles requiring additional durability, Webcom now offers
a notch bound product which combined with Otabind provides a cost
effective alternative to sewn adhesive binding. If you would like
to see a sample of this binding just e-mail
us or ask your Webcom sales representative.
In addition to Otabind, all other binding alternatives are offered,
including saddle stitching, perfect binding, sewn and adhesive casebinding.
 Products
Webcom's integrated manufacturing facility produces a wide range of
popular trim sizes for Reference books.
In addition, we have specialized capabilities for working with light weight paper stocks as low as 20 lb. basis weight. No matter
what your specifications are your project will be in good hands -
whether it is a journal, a handbook, a prospectus or a reference guide.
