If you have a Pro-Bind thermal binding machine, you’ve probably tried binding your own hardcover documents. Hardcover books look great and they’re easy to produce, but you need to remember to crimp the document’s spine after binding. Crimping the spine not only secures the binding, it gives a hardcover book a distinctive look. You can do this with the Pro-Bind Hardcover Crimper. Just follow these steps:
- Bind your document with your Pro-Bind machine. Make sure all of the pages are flush before binding so they will come into contact with the adhesive in the spine.
- After binding, immediately place your document in the Crimper. The spine needs to be facing down so it will be formed properly.
- Leave the document in the Crimper for a full minute. (You can also wait until the adhesive completely sets.) Then, remove it from the device and admire your work because you’re done!
