Overview

The HOF-400 feeds digital print stacks into Horizon booklet and saddle-stitch systems when you need offline finishing from digital presses. High sheet rates and touchscreen setup support mixed digital jobs without tying the press to the finisher.

Common pairings include SPF and StitchLiner families. Mid-State Litho will not quote a feeder without a clear path into the stitcher or bookletmaker you actually run.

Built by Horizon International in Japan. North American distribution through Standard Finishing Systems. Sold, installed, and serviced in Michigan and the Great Lakes by Mid-State Litho.

Key features

  • High-speed offline sheet feeding for digital workflows
  • Pairs with Horizon bookletmakers and saddle-stitch lines
  • Touchscreen setup on equipped systems
  • Configurable for cover feed and insert paths on equipped lines

Why buy Horizon equipment from Mid-State Litho

Horizon International designs and manufactures this machine in Japan. Standard Finishing Systems (SDMC) is the exclusive North American distributor. Mid-State Litho is the authorized Michigan and Great Lakes dealer: we quote the configuration, install it, train your operators, finance it when needed, stock related parts and adhesives, and send factory-trained technicians when something stops a shift.

We work with Horizon and Standard Finishing as long-term allies. We still want the plant manager who searches for a Horizon dealer to land on Mid-State Litho: same-state trucks, multi-brand advice when Horizon is not the only answer, and a phone that reaches people who have installed the line. Call 1-800-343-4231 or request a quote. Browse the full Horizon print finishing equipment catalog.
