Print Solutions
Integrated commercial printer Vario Press Limited has invested in a Horizon BQ-500 Ice perfect binder to elevate production and streamline digital print processes and to strengthen its off line trade service.
The family run Berkshire operation specialises in highly personalised marketing campaigns with bespoke targeting strategies that guarantee maximum engagement with the intended audience. It produces B2 litho print on two LED UV Sakurai presses and B2 and B3 digital print on Indigo and Xerox presses.
David Clarke, managing director, said: ‘It was time to update our binding equipment. Our B3 and B2 Indigos can now print and pre-collate multi page documents, ie manuals, etc, and now the sets can come off and go straight on to the BQ-500. They are then trimmed on our three knife trimmer. It speeds up the whole process. Recently we printed, bound, and trimmed 1200 A4 84 page manuals in a four hour work period.’
The four clamp BQ-500 is equipped with cloud based Ice Link workflow that provides access to an intuitive easy to use dashboard. It reports real time production analysis for improved efficiency and profitability, remote update capabilities and scheduled maintenance resulting in less downtime.
David continued, ‘We only looked at Horizon as we know the quality of its solutions is always very good. Of the many features the BQ-500 has we especially liked the book block thickness caliper that measures the thickness of the book block accurately for automatic setup and the gentle soft drop delivery that prevents damage to more delicate books.’
