Keep inspection running when page lengths change📄
Digital print production is all about flexibility. And when page lengths change within a production run, your inspection needs to keep up without adding unnecessary stops or setup.
That’s where DynaScan and DirectSync, two …functions of the Hunkeler Web Inspection WI8, help keep inspection running smoothly.
🔹 DynaScan – inspection for variable page lengths
DynaScan captures each page individually, from one synchronization mark to the next. This allows different page lengths to run within the same production while every page is still captured in full and available for visual evaluation.
No need to stop and reconfigure the inspection system when the page length changes.
🔹 DirectSync – synchronization directly from the printed image
DirectSync recognizes the synchronization mark from the scanner image itself. There is no additional sensor upstream of the scanner that needs to be mounted, positioned or adjusted.
Lateral web movement is compensated automatically, while OverScan provides additional image at the top and bottom of the page for inspection right to the edges.
For your production, that means less setup and fewer components while maintaining reliable inspection at production speed.
WI8 scans the entire width of the paper web and captures high-resolution images across the full surface of every page. This allows print quality and content errors to be identified early, helping you take action sooner and reduce downtime and paper waste.

Book production is changing. Is your production setup ready to change with it?📚
Rising paper costs. Skilled labor shortages. Smaller print runs. More formats, more variants, more individualization.
For book manufacturers, staying profitable increasingly means doing more with …less, without compromising quality.
That’s exactly where the Hunkeler Starbook Sheetfolder comes in.
Designed for highly automated digital book block production, it helps manufacturers respond to today’s key challenges:
🔹 Reduce waste: Automated job changes help minimize setup-related spoilage and make better use of valuable paper.
🔹 Reduce manual intervention: Matrix-code-driven production control enables automatic changeovers and lowers dependency on specialized operator know-how.
🔹 Make short runs profitable: Different books, formats and page counts can be processed continuously, economically, even down to book-of-one production.
🔹 Handle more product diversity: Process different paper types within the same book block, formats up to B2+, and 4-up, 6-up, 8-up or 10-up sheets with the Multicut function.
🔹 Automate from print to finishing: Open integration capabilities make the Starbook Sheetfolder a strong fit for end-to-end workflows with digital presses and downstream finishing solutions.
The result? Less complexity. More flexibility. Higher productivity.
As book manufacturing continues its shift toward shorter runs, greater individualization and digital production, automation is becoming much more than a way to improve efficiency.

Three sites, three perforation types, one smart solution💡
At @atruvia.ag, the Hunkeler Roll to roll solution helps consolidate three different perforation requirements into a single application. This simplifies a complex production step and increases efficiency when processing high …volumes of transactional documents.
At the Karlsruhe site, the solution connects the Dynamic Processor DP8 with a Canon ColorStream 8000 printer, while existing DP8 modules at the Berlin and Münster sites were technically upgraded to support the same requirements.
The result: a streamlined perforation process combined with a flexible and redundant production setup across all three locations. If one site experiences an interruption, the other locations can step in, an important advantage for time-critical transactional printing.
And at Atruvia’s scale, efficiency matters: around 195 million mailings leave its printing facilities every year.
The case story demonstrates how Roll to roll technology can bring efficiency, flexibility and reliability together, backed by a partnership between Atruvia and Hunkeler spanning more than 30 years.
