According to Encore managing director Mike Biggs, the machines, which will be aimed at the digital sector, will be marketed alongside its JUD binders which Encore already distributes.

He said: "The closed tank PUR perfect binders are ideal for the digital market. This gives us an excellent total solution for digital bookbinding on short-to-medium-run lengths."

The company has also announced its line-up for this year's Northprint show in Harrogate.

As well as the Newbind, a Kisun UV coater and PitStop Creaser will also be on show, as Encore looks to push home its products' digital capabilities.

The Kisun 13 RTF is an entry-level flood UV coating machine that coats sheets 330mm wide at up to 35m a minute.

The PitStop creaser can be operated as a standalone machine or in-line to an MB fold unit. It can operate at up to 11,000 sheets an hour.
