CPI expands color-cutting capacities with two new machines
< Leck, April 2025 > The demand for finished books is growing - digital color cuts in particular are becoming increasingly popular with readers. To meet this trend, CPI Germany is once again expanding its capacities and putting two more machines into operation.
“The color cut is now a key factor in our production,” says Robert Höllein, Director Business Development at CPI Germany. “In particular, reprints of bestsellers that are needed quickly benefit from the increased capacity of this high-quality technology.”
The digital color cut opens up creative possibilities: From color gradients to intricate patterns and images, designs can be printed directly onto the book block - quickly, flexibly and in high quality. In harmony with the overall book design to increase sales.
Titles with a color cut increase visibility in retail and online and ensure sold-out editions - as with Rebecca Yarros' “Flammengeküsst” series: Even before the publication date in December 2023, the entire print run of around 200,000 copies was sold out (source: Börsenblatt, 10.11.2023).
CPI invests specifically in this success factor and supports publishers in implementing creative book ideas effectively, quickly and from a single source.
