Standard Horizon Short-run Case Binding
Standard will premier the Standard Horizon HCB-2 Case Binder, bringing ultra-short-run hardcover book production to print-on-demand environments. The system allows hardcover books to be produced with more automation and less operator skill than ever before, with a professional quality that is equivalent to the look-and-feel of a commercially case-bound book. Applications for the HCB-2 include the on-demand color photo and memory book markets. The HCB-2 is ergonomically designed, simple to operate, has an optional bar code verification system to ensure the correct matching of cover and book block, and can produce up to 400 books per hour.
