The Horizon BQ-150 Perfect Binder

The Horizon BQ-150 Perfect Binder is an exceptionally versatile and productive short-run perfect binder. With the unique ability to produce three popular types of binding: perfect binding, tape binding and pad binding. Professional quality binds are created with push button simplicity. The BQ-150 perfect binder brings you a broad range of document-on-demand binding options.

Simple and Easy Operation: To bind, simply insert the book block, position the cover, and press a button. No mechanical setup is required for different book sizes or different book thickness. Three different binding options are available at the press of a button.

Roughening the Book Spine for a Stronger Bind: The book spine is properly notched with a roughening cutter so that the hot melt glue, exclusively formulated by Horizon, will sufficiently penetrate the spine, producing a strong bind and a quality finish.

Professional Quality Finished Spine: Powerful nipping pressure applied by Horizon's uniquely designed nipping mechanism produces a sharp and precise book
