CIP Training Plockmatic SquareBack Trimmer
Operational Best Practices
Limitations
•
The Square Back Trimmer is suited for customers whose booklet making needs will not
exceed a yearly average of 15,000 booklets per month;
•
If booklets entering the Square Back Trimmer are not uniform or if they are skewed, the
booklet quality will vary accordingly;
•
The maximum recommended number of sheets that can be bypassed without stapling is 6
sheets of 80 gsm. If there is very low friction between the sheets, running non-stapled sets
may be difficult;
•
Non-stapled books should not be trimmed or square folded;
•
If booklets are made of paper lighter than 80GSM, the cover paper should be 80GSM or
more to get an acceptable output results when square folding;
•
Covers may show marking along the spine of the booklet from the clamps. The more
pages in the booklet, the more evident the marking;
•
Small booklets A5/ 5,5 x 8,5" or smaller may stack poorly on the conveyor;
•
Booklets will not be stacked on top of each other, therefore it is recommended that the
operator places a box underneath the stacker to collect the finished booklets;
•
Exiting booklets might be a bit skewed;
•
The booklet spine can, depending on paper quality and thickness, have different sizes of
tuft at its top and at its bottom;
•
If corners/edges of sheets by any reason are folded before trimming,
result may look as illustrated when corners/edges are unfolded.
