Binding & Finishing: A Vote for Diversified Attack

One-to-One Variable Trimming

Among the many innovations on display at the Standard Finishing booth was the Standard Horizon HT-1000V variable three-knife trimmer, which is capable of one-to-one variable trimming, in-line with a perfect binder or off-line. Setup and variable trimming is achieved by reading a barcode printed on the book cover, and up to 1,000 variable-thickness and variable-format size books can be trimmed per hour. The HT-1000V will accept a wide range of input sizes and deliver trimmed books from 5.7x4.05˝ up to 13.38x11.69˝.
