Formax Square iT2 Squareback Booklet Finisher

Formax Square iT2 Squareback Booklet Finisher

The Formax Square iT2 is a versatile and intuitive device designed to elevate booklet finishing. By combining two essential functions—squaring the binding and trimming the face edge—into a single, streamlined process, the Square iT2 ensures a professional, polished result for staple-and-fold finished booklets.

Professional Squareback Binding with Precision Trimming

Squarebacked booklets offer a sleek, flat profile that makes them easier to pack, store, and ship. With the spine printing capability, they look as professional as perfect-bound books but are faster and more cost-effective to produce. The Square iT2 offers complete flexibility, allowing operators to adjust the square fold pressure for a perfect squareback finish tailored to the thickness of the booklet.

Even squarebacked booklets can have a less-than-ideal appearance due to shingled pages. The Square iT2 eliminates this with its powerful face trimming blade, providing a clean, professional look. For full-bleed projects, the Square iT2’s side trim function ensures precise trimming of the top and bottom edges in multiple passes, while the trimmed edges are collected in an easily accessible waste tray for quick disposal.

Versatile and Efficient Performance

Designed to handle a range of booklet sizes, the Square iT2 processes booklets from 5” x 8” to 12.6” x 12.2” and accommodates 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 Square iT2 is perfect for high-volume production in print shops and finishing operations.

The intuitive color touchscreen interface provides step-by-step text and graphic instructions, making it easy for operators of all skill levels to use. Custom job settings can be saved for quick recall, enhancing productivity. The automatic belt-feed output conveyor stacker ensures that processed booklets are neatly stacked and organized for easy handling.

Compact and Easy to Integrate

Compact yet powerful, the Square iT2 fits easily into any workspace. Whether used as a stand-alone unit or integrated inline with traditional and digital finishing devices, it is an ideal solution for print shops, in-plant finishing operations, and offices looking for a professional-quality finish at a fraction of the cost of perfect binding.
