Ideal for creating manuals, magazines, programs, academic journals, financial reports, and educational materials, this system delivers consistent quality with minimal setup.

🔷 Versatile Paper Handling: Processes a wide range of sheet sizes from 5.5" x 7.8" to 14.5" x 24.4" and paper weights from 16 lb bond to 105 lb cover.
🔷 High Stapling Capacity: Applies up to six staples per booklet, enabling multi-up production that saves time and resources.
🔷 Integral Face Trimming: Features an integrated face trimmer that removes shingle-edges from folded sheets for a professional finish; optional two-knife trimmer available for full-bleed applications.
🔷 User-Friendly Interface: An intuitive touchscreen allows for quick setup, with standard sheet and book sizes—and bespoke job formats—stored for repeatability.
🔷 Robust, Compact Design: Built on a solid one-piece chassis, this system occupies minimal floor space while offering long-term reliability.
