Rescue 7 has delivered training programs to over 8000 companies and needed the ability to produce their student manuals in-house with a finishing solution that could accommodate the daily short runs of booklets that were 92 page booklets (Colour Expressions 32lbs 11 x 17). The WatkissPowersquare 220 with inline high capacity sheet feeder offered the ideal solution. 

The near line solution provides sheet feeding, stitch, fold, spine press and face trimming up to 10mm thick (200 page booklet). The perfect bound look spine provides many benefits –we can print on the spine of the booklet, takes up 30% less shipping space and provide innovative professional finished look.

“We selected the WatkissPowerSquare 220 with High Capacity feeder because it fit exactly in-line with our requirements. Our manuals were at the capacity limit with the other systems we were researching where the PowerSquare 220 capacity is in excess of what we currently need, this gives us options in the future. My staff and I have found operations very easy we simply load our printed material on the tray and setup using the easy touch screen interface in seconds.” Said Michele McCabe General Manager at Rescue 7.

"This system truly offers a unique solution to a growing challenge in the industry –run lengths are getting shorter, heavier paper stocks are being used and perfect binding is a challenging solution with coated and digitally printed papers. The touch screen setup literally takes seconds and is so intuitive it can be picked up in short order by any operator. The capacity wows everyone and the finish is truly a unique and innovative solution that enhances the finished booklet product.” Said Michael Steele co-Owner of Sydney Stone.

In an era where printers are looking for ways to add value to their work and stand apart from their competition the WatkissPowerSquare 220 offers a tantalizing opportunity. All at once it solves a production challenge while providing a selling feature. Offered at a standalone hand feed unit or in-line with the High Capacity Sheet feeder the WatkissPowerSquare offered by Sydney Stone is a versatile solution to fit your requirements. Sydney Stone will be presenting the latest iteration of WatkissPowerSquare at the upcoming Graphics Canada show on booth #1250
