Best Graphics has sold a used IBIS Smart-binder SB-3 Digital Saddle Stitcher to Pearson, and installed the system at one of their publishing facilities in Minnesota. This marks the fourth Smart-binder that Pearson has acquired. The order included delivery, installation, training, and warranty.

About IBIS

IBIS, founded in the United Kingdom in 1999, is a world-leading supplier of high-speed digital book finishing systems. The IBIS Smart-binder ‘Plus HS’ can produce personalized, variable page-count wire-stitched (SB-2) or cold-glued (SB-3). These systems are used around the world to produce personalized booklets for schools, health care, insurance, financial, government, and many other applications. Notable installations include RR Donnelley, O’Neil Digital Solutions, Pearson Educational, Broadridge, and Liturgical Publications.

The IBIS Smart-binder

Achieving up to 7,000 booklets per hour, IBIS Smart-binders individually score and fold 4- or 8-page sigs into a collated set before wire-stitching, or spine-gluing books in 3.8” x 4.7” up to 17.4” x 10.7” size formats.

The Smart-binder may be supplied as a model SB-3, which includes IBIS’ unique ISG cold glue binding system. This system produces a “stitchless” book which has better lay-flat qualities than a wire-stitched booklet, as illustrated in the photo above. The SB-3 lay-flat solution inserts better during the mailing/fulfillment process.
