Earls Court 2, 18-20 October 2005 – Stand 350

At Digital Print World 2005, Watkiss Automation Sales Ltd will be showcasing a range of Lamibind perfect binders for the first time in the UK.

In co-operation with Rigó Kft., Watkiss Automation Sales Ltd is selling the Lamibind Perfect Binder range in the UK. “We want to be able to offer our customer the means to produce books that are thicker than is possible with a stitch fold trim line” explains sales director Paul Attew. “The Lamibind range perfectly compliments our range of collators and booklet makers. It is manufactured to a very high standard and has an excellent reputation and reliability record in other countries where they have been available for several years.”

Watkiss will be selling 3 models in the Lamibind range – the 340, 380 and 420. They are ideally suited to short run applications, producing up to 260 books (450 cycles) per hour.
