The purpose of this article is to lead you on how to properly bind a document employing a thermal binding machine. If you've got access to 5 or 6 thermal binding covers, follow through these binding instructions. If not, read thru the material and try binding some documents later on.
After making certain that your machine is plugged in and turned on select a smaller thermal binding cover i.e. 1/16", 1/8" or 1/4" and the rough amount of paper needed to fit into the cover. In ordinary use, the operator will have a document of "x" number of sheets, which will then determine the proper size of thermal cover to use. The most straightforward way to do this is to place the paper, indexes, for example. To be bound flat on a table and measure the thickness of the stack with a ruler. Choose a cover that meets that measurement. I.e. If you have got a 1/4" stack of paper, you would employ a 1/4" thermal binding cover. If you're between sizes, go to the subsequent largest size.
1. To reduce static electricity that builds up between sheets run off a copier, the paper to be bound must be fanned. Take a heap of paper, and practice fanning using the following technique:
- Grasp the sheets on each side, holding them fairly loose.
- Bend the sheets as in the following diagram. While bent, exert pressure on the paper with your thumbs and fingers to gain a strong grip where the sheets cannot move.
- While maintaining pressure on the sheets, straighten out the pile of paper. This will bow the sheets so that there is air space between sheets. After air has been allowed into the sheets, release your grasp on the sheets as you jog them onto a flat, level surface. This is known as fanning the paper. It is usually not mandatory unless the paper has just come off a copier, where the pages contain a massive amount of static electricity.
- Remember, it's the binding edge of the sheets which must always be uniformly jogged for a secure bind.
2. Place the thermal binding cover in your left hand (if you are right handed), and allow it to slightly fall open to make what appears to be a wide V. Insert the fanned sheets into your scored thermal binding cover (ensure that you grasp the sheets tightly to maintain the uniform jogged edge). The sheets should be centered within the cover and placed on the adhesive spine. Close the cover around the sheets. The first and last sheets should not stick up higher than the other pages. If you have uneven pages, take all of the sheets out of the cover, rejog them and insert them into the cover.
3. Next, place the document (spine side down) so the fringe of the thermal cover is at the right side of the binding slot. The binding machine should mechanically start and dependent on the dimensions of your document should decide the length of the bind time.
4. When you remove the bound document, tap the backbone on the table to help set the adhesive, and set the document (s) on the cooling stand to maintain the square spine during curing. Make sure the document (s) are placed squarely on the cooling stand so that the spine remains square during the curing process. This will supply the most professional looking finished product.
5. The document must cool before it can be employed. It should remain on the stand for 3 to 5 minues. This period of time varies depending on the thickness of the thermal binding cover. Manifestly, a 1/16" thick document will cool quicker than a 2" document. Ultimately , any thermal cover, with no regard for size, will have reached full binding strength once the backbone is cool to the touch (roughly 15 minutes).
