Alan Pond, BCQ Commercial Director,with the Horizon BQ470 four clamp perfect binder and a Horizon HT1000V variable trimmer
Buckingham general commercial printer BCQ Group has bought a Horizon BQ470 four clamp perfect binder and a Horizon HT1000V variable trimmer to bring its perfect binding in-house.
‘We had a specific requirement for perfect binding,’ explained Alan Pond, commercial director. ‘[Now] we can finish the jobs in the order they are produced and turn them around quickly.’
The PUR BQ-470 binder, supplied by Intelligent Finishing Systems, joins a Horizon StitchLiner 5500. The Horizon HT1000V was chosen to run inline for uninterrupted production. ‘We wanted to have a complete solution where you can feed and leave,’ said Mr Pond. ‘One person can run it. With its variable set up it can change the spine thickness and sizes of the books which makes short run book production quick and easy.’
