Duplo DB-290

Tabletop Perfect Binder

The user-friendly and automatic DB-290 Perfect Binder brings professional perfect binding to your desktop. Producing up to 200 books per hour, the DB-290 is ideal for short-run, on-demand applications.

With the automated performance and other outstanding features typically reserved for more expensive machines, this perfect binder provides centrally-located controls for single-operator efficiency. Simply place flat sheets into the clamp where pages are gripped automatically and the binding process begins. A double pass over the roughening cutter provides superior notching for superb glue penetration. Its clamping and nipping system ensure consistent square binds.

The DB-290 Perfect Binder offers easy changeover to tape binding and two different tapes sizes are available. Other enhancements include new milling and notching blades along with a new side glue tank for improved glue application and binding. The side glue provides better adhesion and helps form the book spine. The clamp also features a newly, redesigned double rail for enhanced binding performance.
