In the dynamic world of print finishing, innovation is not just a luxury—it’s a necessity. At Mid State Litho, we’re always on the lookout for technologies that can streamline operations and elevate the quality of output for our clients. Today, we’re thrilled to spotlight a transformative feature that’s redefining booklet production: Variable Stitching on the Horizon StitchLiner Mark IV.
Understanding Variable Stitching
Variable stitching represents a leap forward in booklet-making technology. It allows for the automatic adjustment of stitch length and balance, catering to booklets of varying thicknesses. This ensures a consistent and secure bind across all projects. The Horizon StitchLiner Mark IV, a leading-edge saddle-stitching system, integrates this feature to offer unmatched efficiency and quality.

The Horizon StitchLiner Mark IV is more than just equipment; it’s a holistic solution designed to meet the nuanced needs of print shops and finishing businesses. Its fully automated settings enable the system to handle a diverse range of booklet formats, adjusting on-the-fly to changes in format and thickness. This level of automation guarantees high-quality production, enhanced efficiency, and increased productivity.
High-Quality Production Meets Efficiency
Quality is paramount in our industry, and the Horizon StitchLiner Mark IV delivers without compromise. It features advanced systems for sheet transport and jogging, scoring and folding, stitch and fold monitoring, and positive jog register at the trimmer. These components work together seamlessly to produce booklets that impress both clients and end-users.
Embracing Variable Thickness Production
The Horizon StitchLiner Mark IV excels in end-to-end automation for variable thickness production. Its ability to adjust stitch length and balance, coupled with variable thickness transport adjustment through the trimmer, enables the seamless production of booklets with different thicknesses. This capability is invaluable for producing varied products like catalogs, reports, and magazines with inserts.
Flexibility in Booklet Formats
The system’s flexibility in handling a wide array of booklet formats—from A4 landscape booklets for large format calendar production to pocket booklets—ensures higher productivity. With speeds of up to 6,000 booklets per hour for A4 portrait and over 5,000 booklets per hour for A4 landscape, the Horizon StitchLiner Mark IV stands out as a productivity powerhouse.
