Now you can make books that look just like paperbacks—where the front
cover, spine, and back cover are all one piece. Our Perfectback™ strips let
you create books with wraparound covers, so you can have graphics on
both covers and the spine!
You will need a scoring machine to crease your covers. Our new Scorer is
now available—it is definitely the easiest machine on the market for seeing
and positioning exactly where your scores will be made. Ask your dealer for
details on this very unique product.
Follow these steps to make a Perfectback™ book:
Assemble your document pages. Do not include a cover at this point. Jog
the pages on the top of the binder or any flat surface to ensure they are
straight and aligned. Now put your document in the Fastback® binder, and
slide it all the way to the right.
Be sure your pages are aligned, then press the green BIND button to clamp
them.
Insert the correct width Perfectback™ LF, PS, or TA strip, glue side-up, into
the binder.
When the clamps open, take your book out of the Fastback® binder and
put it in the cooling rack for a few minutes.
against the cooling rack, instead of against another book.
While your book is cooling, select your cover. Make sure it's morethan
wide enough to wrap around your entire document pages.
Now you need to "score" your cover. Scoring creates a slight crease in the
cover that helps the cover to bend. For best results, you should score the
image-side of the cover in two places at the spine edges of your book, to
allow the front cover to open more easily. Here's how to do it:
a.
Determine the width and proper location of the spine area of your
cover. The width should be the same as your document thickness. The
spine location should be centered around your spine title. This determines
where your two scores should be made.
b.
Make both scores in your cover. Check to be sure they are the same
distance apart as your book thickness.
c.
Gently fold your cover into a book form at these scores (figure 13).
For Perfectback™ LF and PS binding only:
Pick up your document from the cooling rack. Peel off one section of
release paper from the spine (figure 14). This leaves a narrow adhesive
band exposed. (If the release paper doesn't come off easily, the glue may
still be too warm. Place it back in the cooling rack for a few minutes, then
try again.)
On a flat surface, put the document inside your cover, making sure the front
cover corresponds with the front of your document (figure 15).
