Watkiss Auto SpineMaster Square Fold / Square Edge – 102924603004A

S/N: WA/ASM/2163

The SpineMaster post-processes traditional stitchfold booklets and transforms them into SquareBack booklets. These are flat and easy to pack, stack and handle. There is no risk of loose pages – you can even print on the spine. SquareBack books are now the accepted standard for saddle stitched books.

While traditional booklet making achieves a satisfactory result on thin booklets, the more sheets you use, the more the book will “gape” at the spine. The SpineMaster re-forms the spine into a square shape to produce a long lasting, high quality finish. The SpineMaster fits after the trimmer units and the unique SquareBack process ensures that no additional trimming is required. After processing, the SquareBack booklets are delivered into a stacking hopper on the top of the unit, where they are easily removed by the operator. If required, booklets can bypass the SquareBack process and are delivered directly to the hopper. Similarly, individual booklets can be hand fed into the unit if required.\
