The superior design of the BQ-140 for the cut sheet market lets the operator produce big machine quality without the complication, noise and residual paper dust of bigger perfect binders. Since the on-demand market primarily uses cut sheets and requires a clean operating environment, the BQ-140 is uniquely designed to meet these needs. Its two way notching of the book block provides twice as many notches for maximum adhesive penetration — creating not only an extra strong bind, but a cleaner, quieter operating environment.

Unlike other perfect binders, the BQ-140 requires little adjustment. A simple switch allows the operator to immediately select one of three binding modes: perfect binding with two way notching (for maximum book strength); perfect binding without notching (for very thin books); and simple binding (when a cover isn’t needed). The notching, adhesive application and nipper clamping are all automatic. The only thing the operator needs to do is place a cover into position.
