First seen at drupa this year, Watkiss is bringing its PowerSquare 160 booklet making system to the UK in October
The finishing equipment company will launch the Watkiss PowerSquare 160 and the Mamo SQ 320 onto the UK market at The Print Show.
‘The PowerSquare 160 complements our existing range,’ said Paul Attew, sales director, Watkiss, explaining that customers had been asking for a product utilising the same technology but more suited to mid-volume applications.
The new booklet making system can include two suction-fed sheet feeders and inline, nearline or offline configurations. It accommodates a wide range of sheet sizes and materials, including A4 landscape format and heavy cover stocks.
The Mamo SQ 320 is an entry level hand-fed booklet maker that can staple, fold and form a square spine on booklets up to 30 sheets, including A4 landscape books. It features digital control for automatic set-up and the option of four stitching heads, including loop stitches.
‘We had a very busy Drupa and we are keen to exhibit new products that were shown for the first time in Dusseldorf,’ commented Attew. ‘We are a British company, manufacturing here in the UK; and whilst we are a major exporter, the UK print industry is very important to us. So we welcome the chance to see so many UK printers under one roof.’
