Several Premieres at GRAPH EXPO
Standard will introduce several new products to North America in their booth at GRAPH EXPO. The Standard Horizon HT-1000V Variable Three-knife Trimmer is capable of one-to-one variable trimming, inline with a perfect binder or offline. Setup and variable trimming is achieved by reading a barcode printed on the book cover, and up to 1,000 variable-thickness and variable-format size books can be trimmed per hour. The HT-1000V will accept a wide range of input sizes and deliver trimmed books from 5.7x4.05" up to 13.38x11.69".

The HOF-400 is the latest in Horizon’s line of versatile high-speed sheet feeders. The HOF-400 can be connected to the SPF-200 Series Bookletmaker and the StitchLiner 5500 for saddlestitching of digitally printed output at speeds up to 45,000 sheets per hour. The modular system can be configured to fit various customer requirements. Variable page count production is possible with the standard mark reader, which the operator can quickly change between top and bottom reading for different applications. The HOF-400 can accommodate a maximum sheet size of 14x24" to produce landscape format booklets or calendars inline with the new SPF-200L Landscape Bookletmaker, yet another solution that will debut at GRAPH EXPO.
