In the digital book production sector, production runs are getting shorter, to the point that it is not rare for a book printer to receive production orders of one single copy. Adding to this the growing diffusion of self publishing and the possibility of ordering on-line choosing from huge catalogues, the result is a myriad of orders for many different titles, each one for a very small quantity.

CEM Book-of-One allows to transform this situation from production at a loss into commercial opportunity: the printer can realize an uninterrupted production flow which output is an orderly stack of offset book blocks ready for perfect binding, each one made by a different number of pages. Automation and productivity of the DocuConverter line are preserved, making Book-of-One a winning choice for digital printing.
