Curries’ managing director, Bernie Robinson, showed that the Japanese finishing machinery is the perfect accompaniment to the HP digital equipment range when he gave the PacPrint Daily a tour of the sizeable stand.

In an integrated demo of what can be achieved post-press, Robinson showed a Horizon SmartStacker cutting B2 sheets from the Indigo 10000 in seven ways before streaming them to a Horizon BQ470 Bookbinder.

Barcode-enabled three-knife trimming, which offers variable cutting on each item, is one of the refinements on the BQ470, he said.

Also part of the bindery portfolio is the Horizon SPF200L landscape-format stitcher-folder, a BQ280 perfect binder in PUR and PUR/EVA configurations and a Foliant laminator, as well as a Horizon CW8000NL nearline finisher and CRF362 folder.

The Scodix S digital press with an optional  inkjet Braille solution is an innovation sure to attract important new markets, said Robinson.

The S74 model is capable of handling sheet sizes of up to 520x735mm and can cope with material weights from 135 to 675gsm. The machine can handle material thicknesses up to 0.7mm.
