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.
Do you offer repair and service?
Absolutely! Mid State Litho is proud to have a highly skilled and experienced team of technicians who specialize in servicing and repairing all types of print finishing equipment. Whether it’s routine maintenance, troubleshooting, or emergency repairs, our experts are equipped to handle any issue.

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.
Do you offer financing?
Yes! Mitsubishi HC Capital is our primary leasing partner. We can offer short- or long-term financing based on your needs. Financing is subject to credit approval but our team is excellent. If you are considering financing your purchase you can visit our financing page or contact us directly.
