Horizon HT-30 three-side trimmer
Oxford commercial printer Holywell Press has invested in a Horizon HT-30 three-side trimmer from Intelligent Finishing Systems to eliminate bottlenecks in its bindery.
The company, which offers both digital and litho options to print a mix of general commercial and educational work, chose the new system to support completion of jobs produced by a Horizon BQ-270 single-clamp perfect binder bought in 2013. The operation also has a Horizon CRF-362 folder creaser.
‘We bought the binder and were finishing the books on a guillotine,’ explained Ben Burrows, managing director. ‘However, with a varied mix of short run and longer run work of up to 1500 it was becoming a bit of a bottleneck.
‘We are impressed with the build quality of the Horizon equipment and have seen the HT-30 in operation at the IFS showroom and trade shows,’ said Mr Burrows. ‘We know that it will make a key contribution to the smoother operation of the bindery.’
