Saddle-binding Overview |
||
The Smart-binder system folds sheets
individually before collection together on the saddle, which results
in excellent lay-flat even up to 200 pages. The Smart-binder models SB-1 and SB-2 produce wire stitched (stapled) booklets only up to 10mm (0.4") thick. The SB-1 is a lower speed version of the SB-2, for use in-line with slower speed digital printers. The Smart-binder model SB-3 includes IBIS's patented 'ISG' (Individual Sheet Gluing) technology. ISG replaces wire-staples with lines of cold-glue 'dots' between each sheet to produce more attractive, stronger, flatter and easier-to-recycle books. For information about the SB-4 and SB-5 models, that add a 'perfect-binder' module to the Smart-binder, click HERE |

The extended model SB-X allows production of A5 (or 5 ½ x 8 ½) portrait booklets 2-up, by increasing the maximum booklet spine length to 457mm.The extended model SB-W increases the maximum book width to 273 mm 10 ¾") For the first time ever, both wire-stitched or glued books may now be produced from the same machine. In this way the Smart-binder provides a solution for multiple different book types and formats, with the option of a separately fed cover, sheet perforating, hole punching, loop stitching, etc. |
