Plockmatic PBM5000 Series

Plockmatic PBM5000 Series for Ricoh

A new kind of Booklet maker.
Landscape formats, 2-up and more.

Digital presses can now produce more documents in a wider range of formats than ever before. And print operations face the challenge of producing more jobs with shorter run lengths profitably. Professional, cost-effective and versatile inline solutions are critical success factors.

The all new Plockmatic PBM5000 series is a flexible booklet making solution for mid-to-high production environments. It provides high quality booklets in a wider range of sizes than ever before. And does this at a great price.

Ricoh production printing systems support larger cut-sheet sizes. Combined with the new PBM5000 series, you no longer need expensive and complex  equipment to produce landscape and oversize booklet formats. You can now give your customers more ways to tell their stories.

Description

Production Booklet Makers

The PBM5050/PBM5050s can staple and fold up to 50 sheets of 80 gsm, which creates booklets of up to 200 pages. The PBM5035/PBM5035s is capable of 35 sheets creating 140 page booklets.

Staple or Stitch production

The booklet maker is available in two versions – the PBM5050 and PBM5035 with two maintenance free staple heads and the PBM5050s and PBM5035s with up to four stitching heads. The stitch version is also capable of creating corner and edge stapled sets which may replace the need for these Inline finishing devices. Customers can further tailor their system to finish an even wider variety of two up booklet sizes. The stitching version also reduces the cost per print by enabling 2-up printing of smaller sizes.

Convenience Feeder (Optional)

A new optional Convenience Feeder is available with a capacity of up to 800 sheets. It can either feed pre-printed covers or turn collated, pre-printed sets into booklets while the printer runs another job. Gets the most out of your Ricoh system.

Finishing module – Now as standard

The Finishing module now places both Squarefolding and Face Trim capabilities in one single module – and is standard. It adds the finishing touch with a square folded edge and printable spine. Give booklets the professional look of a perfect bound book.

Color graphical interface

Operators are guided through job setup with detailed graphics that can provide step-by-step guidance. Getting professional results has never been easier.
