520			_aThis project entitled "Semi-Automatic Book Press" was designed and developed to support bookbinding without the use of hands; instead, a pneumatic system was used to facilitate the book pressing process. The machine has an overall dimension of 1600.2 mm x 635 mm x 622.3 mm, and each assembly is made up of aluminum and steel material for durability. The machine is equipped and powered by a pneumatic double- acting cylinder with a 130 mm stroke size and a 1⁄4 horsepower air compressor with 100 psi, thereby increasing productivity and lessening fatigue problems. Based on the test results, the prototype can process up to 3 reams of padding within 10 minutes, and it can accommodate paper sizes such as A8, A7, A6, A5, A4, and letter-size paper. The maximum thickness it can handle is 154.4 mm of letter-size 75 gsm paper, requiring the paper to be jogged before placing it into the paper guide. Additionally, it can handle up to 3 reams of 75 gsm letter-size paper, equivalent to 156 mm in thickness. The acceptability performance of the prototype was evaluated by a group of technical experts, faculty members, and students from the Graphic Arts and Printing Technology department using the CIT evaluation instrument for prototypes. Results of evaluation showed an overall mean rating of 4.64, which has a descriptive rating of "Very Acceptable" in terms of functionality, workability, durability, aesthetics, economy, and safety, which means that the machine was proven to be more effective compared to the manually operated book press.
