Saddle Stitchers/Bookletmakers — The Finish Line

Printers and trade finishers also demand features such as the stitch/staple method, staple leg length and automatic size adjustments, states Steve Cutler, postpress product manager for A.B.Dick.

Low Maintenance Model

A.B.Dick offers the Watkiss BookMaster featuring a low-impact stapling mechanism, which ensures virtually maintenance-free operation. The main wearing parts are included in the staple cartridge instead of the staple lead and are replaced every 5,000 cycles when the cartridge is changed. Cutler says that more than 1 million cycles can be run before maintenance is needed.
