"The IFS sales team talked us through the options. We liked the Horizon BQ-270V perfect binder because of the speed in which we can produce high quality books compared to our previous system. With it we will be able to bind more books in house. It may also help us explore new markets and take on new jobs."
“Demand for shorter runs, versioned brochures, and high-pagination booklets is rising, and the Horizon SPF-200L offers the automation and flexibility to handle that efficiently. It also complements our Horizon BQ-500 PUR ice binder and HT-300 ice trimmer, giving us a well-rounded finishing line-up.”
"We have seen a lot of growth in the short run book sector over the past 24 months. The HT-300 was the start and the Horizon BQ-500 iCE Binder will solidify our ability to effectively service that even further."
“We carried out a full market review and explored a range of options, as we always do when making an investment in new kit. The Horizon StitchLiner stood out for its high-speed variable pagination and exceptional accuracy."
“Our customers are under greater pressure to meet tighter turnaround times. For them to outsource that work they need to be sure they can meet their clients’ expectations. Now that we have the trimmer completing work straight off the binder, we are much more confident in our ability to turn work around faster."
“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.”
"After looking around at what was on the market, we chose the Horizon because we liked its build, ease of use and affordability. We also liked its ability to manage a wide range of substrates. We finish some jobs by hand and the new system can now complete those for us. We knew it could do everything that we wanted it to do."
"We know and trust Horizon’s robust build. It will do what we need it to, and the iCE software will be something we can utilise in the future.”
"We didn’t want to open the floodgates, in terms of orders, and potentially struggle capacity wise. The new StitchLiner has made this a real possibility. It has made a significant difference to productivity already. The make ready is really quick and the interface is very user friendly."
