Fully automated from the PowerSquare’s user interface, up to 40mm / 1.6″ can be trimmed from each end of the book, and the trim position can be offset to match the image position. All trimmings are transported outside the machine to a high capacity external waste box, allowing continuous operation.

The Morgana PowerSquare™ 160VF Booklet maker now has the capability to apply up to six staples per book. Making it possible to run smaller applications 2 or 3up on a set, saving valuable time and money.
