Overview
The StitchLiner Mark V is Horizon's current production saddle-stitch platform for shops that need booklet quality from digital or offset streams. It can run roll-fed with an inline unwinder and cutter, or cut-sheet from a high-speed feeder. Individual sheet creasing before fold helps flatter spines on thicker books and reduces the need for sub-setting on higher page counts (up to about 200 pages on equipped configurations).
Variable production automation can change stitch length, belt and roller pressure, and trimmer registration by page count without stopping the operator for each booklet. Optional dual-bin cover feeders merge covers without killing speed; the HSF-50 high-speed sheet feeder (optional) feeds cut sheets or bypasses for roll-fed streams at up to about 45,000 sheets per hour. Tracking options (barcode, cover/book-block matching, reject on error) protect integrity on variable work.
Horizon Japan positions Mark V as an iCE LiNK-ready system with automated stitch-length control for variable thickness. Mid-State Litho sizes the line to your feeder path (roll vs sheet), cover needs, and monthly booklet volume.
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.

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.
