The IBIS Smart-binder saddle binding range
   

The Smart-binder models SB-1 and SB-2 produce wire stitched (stapled) booklets only. The SB-1 is a lower speed version of the SB-2, for use in-line with slower speed digital printers. The Smart-binder model SB-3 includes IBIS's patented 'ISG' (Individual Sheet Gluing) technology. ISG replaces wire-staples with lines of cold-glue 'dots' between each sheet to produce more attractive, stronger, flatter and easier-to-recycle books.

The Smart-binder model SB-4 adds an additional BB3002 binder module to combine ISG cold glued 'signatures' with hot-melt glue to produce thick high-quality, square-backed books.

For the first time ever, both wire-stitched or glued books may now be produced from the same machine
