INTRODUCTION

 

 
 

 

The Sprint 3000 Bookletmaker is a heavy duty machine for centre stapling and folding to make 
booklets between 4

¼

“ x 5

½

“ and 8

½

“ x 11” with up to 100 pages.  On each cycle of the machine 

one set of sheets is stapled and the preceding set is folded and stacked on the conveyor belt. 

 

 

It is also possible to edge and corner staple up to 30 sheets of 20 lb bond 8

½

“x 11” paper. 

 

 

The machine can either be hand fed or placed on-line to one of the various desktop vertical 
collators, using a KAS conveyor/ jogger link. A stand is also supplied to carry the collator so that 
it is the correct height for feeding into the Bookletmaker.  

 

 

The Sprint 3000 is a floor standing machine fitted with sturdy castors and an integral conveyor 
which can be folded up in order to occupy minimal floor space when not in use. 

 

 

This model has three stapling heads as standard and five stapling positions.  The centre stapler is 
fixed, whereas the outside heads may be moved to alternative positions depending upon the size of 
paper. 

 

 

A low staple detector is fitted to one of the stapling heads, and the Bookletmaker will stop before 
the stapling head runs out of staples.
