An In-Depth Look At The Pro-Bind hardcover Crimper
Do you own one of Pro-Bind’s high-quality thermal binding machines? Do you use the machine to create hardcover books? If so, you need the Pro-Bind Hardcover Crimper. This is a device that finishes off your hardcover documents by giving them the proper spine alignment so they’ll look great and have securely bound pages. Here’s an in-depth look at what’s good about this product, as well as a discussion of what could be improved.
Strengths:
- The crimper does what it was designed to do incredibly well. What it does is force the hot adhesive in the binding spine to come into contact with every page in your document. This ensures that all of your pages will be securely bound and they won’t fall out of the book. If you don’t use the crimper, pages are much more likely to fall out, which will make your work appear less professional.
- Your book only needs to be in the crimper for as little as 60 seconds for the spine to completely set. (You can leave it in longer if the adhesive hasn’t cooled off after a minute. Doing so will ensure the book is properly bound.) While it’s in the crimper, not only are the pages securely fastened, the spine is shaped. When you use this device on all of your hardcover documents, they’ll all have a uniform look that will make them look great.
- This product is to be used immediately after you remove a hardcover book from your Pro-Bind machine while the adhesive is still warm. Thus, it doubles as a cooling rack.
- This product can be used to crimp documents that have been bound with any thermal binding system. You don’t have to own a Pro-Bind device to take advantage of what it has to offer.
- Each crimper weighs less than 10 pounds. It’s easy to move and it won’t take up very much room in your workplace.
Weaknesses:
- This product is sold separately from the Pro-Bind binding machines and, unfortunately, it’s a necessary purchase if you’re going to be working with hardcover books. Thus, you’ll have to shell out more money than you would if you just used soft covers.
- The crimper can only crimp one book at a time, so it will really slow you down if you’re trying to bind a lot of documents in a short period of time. However, you can always purchase a second unit if you frequently bind a lot of books at one time.
Although it would have been nice if Pro-Bind had included crimping equipment with their thermal binding machines, their hardcover crimper is nonetheless an essential buy if you want to bind hardcover documents. It does it job incredibly well and will ensure that your books are well-bound and don’t have pages that fall out of them. Simply put, you need this device to go alongside your Pro-Bind thermal binding system (and it can be used in conjunction with machines from other manufacturers), so get one today and start cranking out those professional-looking documents!
