Frequently Asked Questions

What is perfect binding?

Perfect binding is a method of manufacturing books using hot glue. Sometimes called thermal binding, it has a few steps. First is spine preparation with a milling or notching blade. Then the glue is applied and a book cover is pressed on with a tremendous amount of pressure. This process is called nipping.

What size paper cutter should I get?

The width of the cutter is the maximum cut you can make. So if you only ever need to cut 18" sheets then you could get away with a 18" cutter. However, the general guideline is that you want to be able to spin your largest sheet under the knife. So for a 12x18 sheet the calculated diagonal gives us the the minimum cutter width of 21.6."

What kind of paper folder should I get?

This is a great starting point! The first consideration would be if you can use a tabletop folder. Tabletop folders work great for most office environments. They almost always have 2 fold plates so you can do letter folds and C or Z folds. Next consider your paper type. If you fold glossy or coated paper you should get a folder with an air feeder. If you are folding for profit you should consider a larger air folder with a pump.
