IBIS Integrated Bindery Systems, the market leader in digital in-line saddle stitching, will have a live-running system – using patented technology – at Ipex (Stand N3–D275). This will be the first time that IBIS has exhibited on its own stand at Ipex.
IBIS's latest high-speed model Smart-binder SB-3 'Plus HS' will be producing booklets from a digitally-print roll unwinder/cutter throughout Ipex at London's ExCel from 24-29 March 2014.
John Cracknell, Managing Director of IBIS Integrated Bindery Systems,
said: "As market leader, we have built our reputation on providing unique solutions and a vital service offering for a diverse range of companies worldwide. We are delighted to be exhibiting at Ipex and I personally look forward to welcoming the many visitors to our stand who will want to see our Smart-binder system in action."
He added: "Our market-leading finishing systems help us to make print more relevant and immediate to the recipient. Variable-data digital printing, combined with our IBIS on-demand in-line finishing systems, can do this very effectively."
The IBIS Smart-binder system offers a variety of high-quality saddle-bound booklet (and perfect bound) finishing options for high-volume variable-data output. The Smart-binder operates either in-line with a continuous web digital press, or from a roll (as being exhibited at IPEX), or from an off-line sheet pile feeder.
The SB-3 is fitted with the unique and patented Individual Sheet Gluing (ISG) cold gluing system, which replaces the need for conventional wire-stitching. ISG gluing provides a higher quality bind, and allows the number of pages in each booklet to be continually varied from 4 pages up to 10mm maximum book thickness without stopping the sheet infeed flow from the web cutter or sheet feeder.
