Formax Square iT2 Squareback Booklet Finisher

Formax Square iT2 is a versatile and user-friendly device designed to streamline booklet finishing processes by combining two essential functions in a single pass: squaring the binding and trimming the face edge. This compact unit ensures professional results, enhancing the appearance and usability of staple-and-fold finished booklets with ease.

Squarebacked booklets offer a sleek, flat profile that facilitates packing, storage, and shipping, with the added advantage of spine printing capability. Operators have the flexibility to adjust the square fold pressure, ensuring the perfect squareback finish tailored to the booklet's thickness.

However, even squarebacked booklets can suffer from the unattractive look of shingled pages. The Square iT2 swiftly addresses this issue with its powerful face trimming blade, delivering a polished, professional appearance to the booklets. For full-bleed projects, the side trim function precisely trims the top and bottom edges of the booklet in multiple passes, while trimmed edges are conveniently collected in the accessible waste tray for easy disposal.

With the ability to accommodate a wide range of booklet sizes, ranging from 5” x 8” up to 12.6” x 12.2”, the Square iT2 effortlessly handles booklets of up to 50 folded and stapled sheets (equivalent to 200 pages of 20# Bond), with a monthly production capacity of up to 20,000 booklets.

The intuitive color touchscreen interface offers step-by-step text and graphic instructions, ensuring ease of use for operators of all skill levels. Custom job settings can be conveniently saved for quick recall and setup, further enhancing efficiency. The automatic belt-feed output conveyor stacker, which is adjustable, maintains processed booklets in a tidy, organized manner.

Whether used as a hand-feed unit or integrated inline with various traditional and digital finishing devices, the Square iT2 is a versatile solution ideal for print shops, in-plant print finishing operations, and offices seeking the professional look and feel of perfect-bound books at a fraction of the cost.
