Details & specifications
The Roll-to-Perfect Bind Gen8 is a roll-fed finishing line that unwinds, cuts, and binds perfect-bound books in one pass. It runs at up to 590 feet per minute on web widths from 11 to 20.5 inches and takes paper from 40 to 180 gsm, which puts it in high-volume book production for publishing, education, and commercial printing. Book thickness runs from 1 mm to 45 mm, so the same line covers thin booklets and thick manuals.
