The company showed a landscape-feeding version of its VAC-100 collator, called the VAC-80sa. The new format offers increased speed and avoids the rotation of 11x17˝ sheets. Horizon also demonstrated a case binder, the HCB-2.

MBO unveiled the T 535 buckle folder. It has a pile feeder with electronic height control and a 15˝ color touch screen. Other features include the MS control, belt drive, spiral fold rollers and slitter shafts with plug bearings.
