IPG looked at many of the new bindery products on display at PRINT 09. Here are some of them:
Folders and Creasers
Among the laundry list of new products at the Standard Finishing Systems exhibit was the Horizon AF-566T4F buckle-buckle folder, an automated six + four-buckle folder that accepts sheets up to 21.9x34˝. The AF-566T4F includes an intuitive, icon-based 10.4˝ color touch screen, which displays all common fold formats and sheet sizes. Precise stepper motors drive end stops and fold plates to the exact location for the sheet size and fold style selected. Up to 200 custom jobs can be stored in memory. The AF-566T4F is equipped with six buckles on the first station and four on the second station.
