Gilmore Printing System

Kernic Systems recently completed the successful installation of a complete Trim & Dust Extraction System designed specifically to enhance productivity, safety, and cleanliness at Gilmore Printing Services Inc in Ottawa, ON.

Gilmore Printing Services is a full service commercial printer that has been providing both digital and offset print services since 1991.

Serving high-performance equipment like the Muller Martini North America ALEGRO Perfect Binder Line with In-Line 3-Knife Trimmer and a Heidelberg North America Saddle Stitcher, this fully integrated solution is tailored for the demands of modern bindery machinery finishing lines. The system’s design features a negative pressure, ‘pull-through’ design that ensures efficient removal of dust and trim at the source—promoting a cleaner facility and minimizing operational downtime.
