Standard to Demo Automated Feeding, Finishing Workflow Solutions at PRINT 13

Presentations will be conducted four times daily to highlight several new solutions and demonstrate cost-savings in a variety of production steps, building profit into short-run work through lower waste and fewer touch points. With an emphasis on end-to-end workflows, Standard will show integration between systems by converting printed rolls or stacked sheets containing different jobs into several finished products, in a single process.

Finishing Flexibility Unveiled
Alongside a host of its newest solutions, Standard will introduce the Horizon BQ-280PUR Perfect Binder to the North American market at PRINT 13. The binder offers single-clamp PUR perfect binding with professional quality in a compact footprint and is specially designed for the production of digitally printed books, personalized photo books, smaller sample runs, and other ultra short-run work. The BQ-280PUR can be operated by a single person and includes an automated, sensor-activated digital caliper system for consistent measurement of book block thickness every time. Other features include fully automated set-up (including carriage clamp, milling, glue tank, nipping, and cover feeder), an elevator delivery system that gently carries the freshly PUR-bound book down without damage, and special processing for extended spine length up to 15.5”. The binder achieves production speeds up to 400 books per hour, and is only one in a line-up of five different perfect binders that will be running in the Standard booth.
