In 2026, Changchun No. 2 Xinhua Printing Co., Ltd. commissioned a new JMD Cambridge-12000 High-Speed Perfect Binding Line, marking the 104th Cambridge-12000 delivered since the first machine entered production in 2012.
Fourteen years of continuous production have turned the Cambridge-12000 into a proven solution for high-volume book manufacturing. The first machine, installed at Anhui Xinhua Printing Co., Ltd. in 2012, has accumulated more than 220 million books by the 2026 spring textbook production season, with an average annual output of approximately 17.8 million books. It continues to operate at a stable speed of 10,000 books per hour.
For JMD, and for the customers who continue to invest in the Cambridge-12000, these figures represent more than production capacity. They provide long-term evidence of equipment reliability.
14 Years of Proven Performance
The latest installation at Changchun No. 2 Xinhua is not simply another machine delivery. It represents a decision based on fourteen years of production experience.
Since its introduction in 2012, the Cambridge-12000 has developed a substantial installed base across China’s book printing industry. The 104th line now joins a growing network of high-speed perfect binding lines operating in demanding production environments.
For Changchun No. 2 Xinhua, the decision was supported by a straightforward consideration: the performance of the first Cambridge-12000 has already been tested over time.
Rather than relying only on specifications, the customer chose a solution with a long and measurable production record.
A Proven Choice Among Leading Book Printers
The Cambridge-12000 has been adopted by leading printing companies across China.
For example, Hunan Tianwen Xinhua Printing and its Shaoyang branch purchased a total of eight Cambridge-12000 lines between 2015 and 2022, while Guangdong Xinhua Printing Co., Ltd. purchased six lines between 2017 and 2022. Companies including Liaoning Xinhua, Henan Xinhua, Guangxi Minzu, Guizhou Xinhua, Jiangxi Longying, and Hefei Xinghua have also installed multiple Cambridge-12000 lines.
The equipment operates across different regions and production conditions, from the cold climate of Northeast China to the hot and humid conditions of the south and the dry environment of the northwest.
This broad operating experience has demonstrated the Cambridge-12000’s ability to maintain stable performance across different climates, production conditions, order requirements, and peak textbook production periods.
High-Speed Perfect Binding Developed for Industrial Production
The Cambridge-12000 was developed as a high-speed domestic perfect binding solution at a time when 10,000-books-per-hour-class perfect binding lines were largely dominated by imported equipment in the Chinese market.
According to JMD, the Cambridge-12000 was designed to meet international standards while drawing on the company’s accumulated precision manufacturing experience. Its long-term production record has provided practical validation of its performance in high-volume book manufacturing.
For printers operating under demanding textbook delivery schedules, high speed is only one part of the equation. Consistent production, equipment reliability, and the ability to maintain performance over many years are equally important.
Beyond Equipment: Technical Support and Customer Training
Long-term equipment performance also depends on the support behind the machine.
JMD provides a customer service system designed to support printers throughout the equipment lifecycle. Its service commitment includes a 24-hour on-site response promise, while the company’s free customer training program has reached 49 sessions, providing professional training in equipment operation and maintenance to more than a thousand industry personnel. JMD has also introduced an upgraded dedicated customer service program to provide more proactive support.
This combination of equipment technology, technical training, and service support forms an important part of JMD’s long-term relationship with its customers.
From the First to the 104th
Fourteen years ago, the first Cambridge-12000 began production at Anhui Xinhua.
Today, the 104th Cambridge-12000 has entered production at Changchun No. 2 Xinhua.
The number has changed from 1 to 104, but the fundamental goal remains the same: delivering stable, high-speed perfect binding performance for demanding book production.
For JMD, the latest installation is both recognition of the Cambridge-12000’s performance over the past fourteen years and a commitment to supporting many more years of textbook production.
With every precisely bound book, the Cambridge-12000 continues to support printers in meeting the critical delivery requirements of the textbook industry.
