Also debuting was the AF-566F six-buckle folder, now in buckle-buckle format. It accepts sheets up to 21.9x33.4˝, includes a pile feeder with a suction head, and has an optional four-buckle second unit that can be added straight or cross-wise. It includes an icon-based color touch-screen.

Horizon added a new 10.4˝ color screen to its Perfect Binder BQ-270C along with a new, ergonomically situated digital caliper that measures book thickness and conveys this data to the binder for setup of sub-stations.
