Compact vs High-Capacity Models

The MBM iBooklet is a tabletop bookletmaker, a good fit when space is limited and booklets are made in an office or classroom. The MBM Sprint 3000 handles the thickest booklets in this group and offers variable speeds, which suits print shops and in-house print rooms with longer runs.

Which Model Fits Your Workload

For regular booklets such as programs, newsletters and short manuals, the Akiles BookletMac and MBM iBooklet both run up to 800 booklets per hour. If your booklets are thicker or your print room needs to adjust speed for different jobs, the MBM Sprint 3000 is the stronger choice.

Getting Consistent Results

An automatic booklet maker works best when every set goes in complete and in the right order. Gathering pages with a collator before they reach the booklet maker keeps page order correct, and running one test booklet at the start of each job lets you check the fold and staple position before the full run.

Frequently Asked Questions

An automatic booklet maker folds and staples your sheets in one operation, so each booklet comes out finished and ready to use. You load a set of sheets that has already been gathered in order, which collators can do for you, and the machine places the staples on the center fold and folds the booklet. That removes the slowest step of booklet making, which is folding each copy by hand, and gives every booklet the same clean fold.

It depends on the machine. The Akiles BookletMac handles up to 64 pages at a time, which suits programs, newsletters and training booklets. The MBM Sprint 3000 makes booklets up to 100 pages thick, so it’s the better choice for longer documents and higher-volume print work. Check the page count of your typical job before you choose.

Yes. The BookletMac has three modes: fold and staple, fold only, or staple only. Use fold and staple for finished booklets, fold only for single folded sheets like brochures or inserts, and staple only when you just need a set stapled. If you mainly fold letters and brochures in volume, paper folders are built for that job.

Yes. The MBM iBooklet sets the stapling and folding position automatically for the paper size you select, so you don’t need to measure or adjust the machine by hand. It has buttons for standard sizes like letter, legal and ledger. If an error happens, such as a paper jam or an empty staple magazine, the icon-based control panel shows what went wrong.

Akiles recommends ABM 26/6 or ABM 26/8 staples for the best and quickest results with the BookletMac. Use only Akiles staples, because other types of staples may damage the stapling head or give poor results. Keeping the right staples on hand avoids downtime in the middle of a job.
