Bindery innovations were a big part of Graph Expo.

The PadMaster 2000 was exhibited by Brackett. It automatically transforms loose sheets into instant pads (or strips of pads). To make pads, the user drops in paper sheets, pushes a button and the PadMaster 2000 does all the work.

Challenge Machinery introduced its Titan 230 paper cutter, a rugged 23? cutter that incorporates the latest technology. Programming is accomplished via the user-friendly prompts on the LCD display. There are 99 channels of memory and 9,801 cut positions. The software is written in five languages (English, Spanish, German, French, and Portuguese) for operators whose primary language is not English. The Titan 230 includes Category 4 light curtains to guard the cutter opening and ensure safety for the operator.
