Fastbind
System
- The
book block to be bound is inserted into the clamp equipped
with stops which ensure accurate positioning and keep the
block well knocked up.
- The
clamp closes precisely to the block thickness and fixes it
tightly.
- The
block is rotated spine up. The patented Fastbind paper grain
opening system (PGO) breaks the paper surface and opens the
paper fiber to increase the surface covered with adhesive.
The adhesive penetrates from above and is forced into the
spine of the book, directly into the paper fiber and between
fanned sheets providing strong adhesion.
- The
book block is rotated back into the starting position. The
cover is placed and pressed strongly against the book spine
from two sides by the unique folding bar, automatically
adjusting to the book thickness. This operation both fastens
the cover to the block and presses the sheets together,
making the binding stronger.
You can use a variety of materials for your covers. The
cover should be pre-creased only once, the second crease is
made during the cover-mounting process.
