A Guide to Better Stitching
Check for quality assurance controls like double- and missing-sheet detection on each pocket, an oblique monitor to check signature-to-cover registration, a caliper to double check that all the pages are there and missing-stitch detection.

Printers should have a stitch monitoring device on the equipment to ensure that they have stitches in each booklet. This feature compares the number of stitches set at the operator’s terminal with the number actually stitched into the booklet. The booklet is ejected if a stitch is missing.
