Introduction
The Plockmatic PowerSquare™ 224 is an innovative, complete book making
system for digital print applications. In a single machine it combines the four
processes of stitching, folding, spine forming and trimming to produce
SquareBack™ books up to 224 pages thick. It features fully automatic setting
for different book size and pagination, including variable stitch leg length for
varying book thickness.
The maximum book thickness, of 10.4mm (208 pages/80gsm, 224 pages/
70gsm), is double that of alternative conventional booklet-making machines, so
it is ideally suited to higher paginations or to thicker stocks. This makes the
PowerSquare 224 a fast and cost effective alternative to perfect binding or tape
binding. Since it will also produce books from only a few sheets, it provides a
single book-making solution for documents from 8 through to 224 pages.
Digital print applications frequently use heavier stocks and need the flexibility to
produce a wider range of finished books from a single process, with little or no
operator intervention - the new PowerSquare 224 is a perfect match.
