Saddle Stitcher/Bookletmaker Options

Available for Duplo collating and sheet feeding systems connected with the DBM-600 Bookletmaker or iSaddle System, the DKT-200 adds three-side trimming capabilities, enabling operators to cut the head and foot of booklets for a full-bleed finish. With a compact footprint of 36" x 32", the DKT-200 offers a simple straight paper path that is gentle on easily-scratched, digitally-printed materials. The unit can process up to 4,500 books per hour and up to 9,000 books per hour when processing 2-up applications using the optional gutter cutter. Full-bleed jobs can now be transferred directly from the press to the bookletmaker or saddle stitcher without the need to trim the sheets on a guillotine before or after.

The DSS-350 Square Spine module adds a square spine finish to offset and digitally-printed booklets, providing a flatter look. With a processing speed of up to 2,600 booklets per hour, the DSS-350 is ideal for low to mid-volume runs and is the fastest of its kind. It can be used as a stand-alone unit or can be configured in-line with the DBM-350 Bookletmaker or in off-line mode with the DBMS Saddle Stitcher to finish a variety of applications including yearbooks, catalogs, calendars, and more.  

Suitable for higher volume stacking jobs, the DCR-ST can cross or straight stack up to 7.87". It connects between the collator and bookletmaker. When the stacker is not being used, a bypass bridge redirects the paper to the bookletmaker for bookletmaking without having to remove any devices.

The Square iT2 is a compact, user-friendly unit that combines two functions in a single pass: it squares the binding and trims the face edge. Getting professional results from an existing staple-and-fold finisher has never been easier.

Squarebacked booklets lie flat, making them easier to pack, store and ship, with the added option of printing on the spine. Operators can choose the amount of square fold pressure to produce the ideal squareback finish based on booklet thickness.

However, even squarebacked booklets have the unsightly look of shingled pages. The Square iT2 makes quick work of that problem, with a powerful face trimming blade, to give them a finished, professional look. For full-bleed jobs, the side trim function trims the top and bottom of the booklet in multiple passes. Trimmed edges are collected in the waste tray which is easy to access for emptying.

The Square iT2 accommodates a wide range of booklet sizes, from 5” x 8” up to 12.6” x 12.2”. It processes booklets of up to 50 folded and stapled sheets / 200 page booklets of 20# Bond, up to 20,000 booklets per month.

The color touchscreen is easy to use, with step-by-step text and graphic instructions, ideal for operators of any skill level to simply walk up and start producing finished booklets. Users can also save custom job settings for quick recall and setup. The automatic belt-feed output conveyor stacker is adjustable and keeps processed booklets in a neat order.

This compact device can be used either as a hand-feed unit or in-line with a wide range of traditional and digital finishing devices. It’s the perfect complement to print shops, in-plant print finishing operations and offices that want the look and feel of a perfect-bound book, at a fraction of the cost.

The Formax Square IT squareback booklet finisher gives your stapled booklets a professional, perfect-bound look, with the security of a stapled binding.

The Square IT finishes booklets up to 9 1/2” x 12 3/4”, in sizes up to 24 sheets of 80gsm paper. With the easy-to-use control panel, operators can choose from four thickness options, which provide the ideal squareback binding based on the number of pages.
