The IBIS Smart-binder SB-3 will be shown on C.P. Bourg’s booth 1249 at Boston’s On Demand Exhibition, March 3 – 6.

At On Demand we will also be celebrating the manufacture of IBIS’s 100th IBIS digital print finishing system.

The IBIS Smart-binder SB-3 is the finishing system of choice for today’s demanding digital environment. It produces high-quality, variable page-count, personalised books, using either wire-stitching, or ISG cold-glue. The SB-3 may be upgraded to model SB-4 to also produce high quality perfect-bound books (using cold and hot-melt glue), with a unique in-line connection to C.P. Bourg’s highly automated BB3002 adhesive binder.
C.P. Bourg will be exhibiting the BB3002 binder off-line, next to the SB-3 at On Demand.

The Smart-binder is the only saddle-stitcher system capable of running in-line with today’highest-speed monochrome and four-color continuous web digital printers.
The Smart-binder will be shown at the On Demand show in off-line mode with a high-speed sheet pile-feeder.

• The Smart-binder produces up to 6,000 booklets per hour (or 12,000 bph in two-up mode with the optional trimmer centre knife).
• The Smart-binder features a full three-knife trimmer, and can bind and trim booklets containing up to 200 pages (or 1200 pages when linked to the BB3002 perfect binder).
• The Smart-binder can produce variable page-count booklets, without stopping to make adjustments, and is therefore ideal for ‘personalized’ documents.
• ISG cold-gluing is exclusive to the Smart-binder and results in a stronger bind without wire stitches, and better “lay flat ” quality.
• The Smart-binder is the perfect VDP finishing system, with the ability to match personalized text, covers, and additional inserts.

We look forward to seeing you next week at On Demand, Booth 1249 !
