If you want to make your documents stand out, binding them with hardcover cases is definitely the way to go. It’s surprisingly easy to bind a hardcover book, especially when you have a thermal binding machine such as the Unibind XU138. Here’s a quick rundown of how you do it:
- Make sure your machine is turned on. The XU138 doesn’t need to warm up beforehand, so it’s ready to use immediately.
- Select a thermal hardcover binding case that can accommodate all of the pages of your document. Place your work in the case and jog it a bit so that the pages are all flush and in contact with the adhesive in the spine.
- Place the document on the XU138′s heating element. The document will be bound in about 90 seconds. A green light will go on when the binding cycle is complete.
- Remove your document from the heating element and place it on the machine’s cooling rack. It’s important to let the book cool off completely before using it. This ensures that the pages won’t fall out.
