Standard and Hunkeler will maintain their factory-direct relationship to deliver finishing solutions for roll-fed inkjet presses in 2026 and beyond. Together, we will continue to work with our partners and mutual customers to deliver Hunkeler solutions paired with Horizon equipment. Standard will also collaborate with other leading pre- and post-vendors to offer integrated Horizon solutions. If you have any questions, don’t hesitate to contact us.
In October, Standard represented Horizon and Hunkeler equipment at PRINTING United 2025 in Orlando, FL. We showcased and demonstrated over 20 individual post-press finishing solutions in our 5,000 square feet of exhibit space, the largest display of finishing at the show. Additionally, Standard worked with our printer vendor and pre-post partners on pre-printed applications that ran live in our booth and partner booths during the event.
We are excited to share that Screen and Standard will expand their partnership to include Horizon solutions. At PRINTING United in October, Johan Laurent and Katelyn Pinch from Standard joined Screen for its kickoff meeting, where we shared an introduction to Horizon equipment. We look forward to working with everyone at Screen and encourage you to reach out to our team with any questions.
Screen and Standard partnered with author, entrepreneur, and business executive in the commercial print industry, Roger P. Gimbel, EDP, to produce 200 copies of his latest book “Dream Big, Act Now”, which were given away in Standard’s booth during a book signing at PRINTING United. The book bodies were printed on the Screen Truepress JET 520NX AD, and covers were printed on the Truepress JET 520HD+. The covers were sheeted on the Hunkeler Roll-To-Cut/Stack Solution, and glued book blocks were produced on the Horizon BBS-56 Roll-fed Book Block Solution. Book blocks and covers were bound and trimmed inline on the Horizon BQ-500 Perfect Binder and HT-1000V Three-knife Trimmer.
In this edition, Standard highlights two customer success stories and provides a look at what’s ahead for Standard in 2026.
Mutual Screen-Standard customer, Art & Negative, is a top print, direct mail, and fulfillment solution provider located in Lanham, MD. The company focuses on managing all its services in-house to deliver products faster and with greater accuracy. To help achieve this vision, Art & Negative uses two Screen presses paired with a range of Hunkeler and Horizon finishing from Standard. Its roll-fed finishing includes a Hunkeler Roll-to-Cut/Stack line as well as Horizon/Hunkeler Roll-to-Saddlestitch and Roll-to-Fold solutions.
Standard’s Johan Laurent and Katelyn Pinch joined the BMI community for the recent Book Manufacturing Mastered in NYC, and Virginia DaCosta caught up with our colleagues north of the border at the BMI Canadian Roundtable in August. We enjoyed the opportunities to connect with partners and customers on the state of the industry and explore its future direction.

The Standard Horizon BBS-56 Roll-fed Book Block Solution made its North American debut earlier this year at our Finishing 360 open house. This plowfold book block-making system is designed for short- to medium-run production and can be configured with a Horizon perfect binder and trimmer for a complete roll-to-perfect bound book solution operating at speeds of up to 800 books per hour. We are welcoming partners and our mutual customers to visit Standard’s Andover, MA, demonstration center for in-person, hands-on demonstrations. To schedule a visit, contact your Standard sales representative.
The event brought together customers, partners, and industry professionals from across the US and Canada to Standard’s state-of-the-art demonstration center. During the two-day event, Standard offered hands-on, personalized equipment demonstrations and high-level tours of Hunkeler and Horizon finishing lines.
The book body was pre-printed on the Truepress JET 520NX AD and the covers were printed on the Truepress JET 560HDX. The covers were sheeted on the Standard Hunkeler Roll-to-Cut/Stack line, and the books were produced using the new Standard Horizon BBS-56 Roll-fed Book Block Solution in-line with the BQ-500 Perfect Binder and HT-1000V Three-Knife Trimmer.
