Share six key points of English Print Books after digital binding processing

The key to the hardcover process of English Print Books is how to bond the book block and the hard book case firmly to produce books that can be preserved for a long time. Although the cost and time required for binding with wireless glue and digital printing for the short print market seems to be somewhat inconsistent, but they are completely different but can be combined with the two areas.

Only at the beginning of the printing work to do careful design and arrangement, can ensure the harmony of printing and post-press processing. In production, the following points should be paid attention to:

1, folding

Because the ink color on the digital print is only attached to the surface of the paper, so the folding process is easy to crack. Therefore, it is best to press the crease before folding processing.

2, coated film

Laminating the surface of digital printed matter, especially after printing a large area of the field, will help to protect the printed matter in the post-press processing, especially when cutting or packaging. Single-side coating of double-sided prints is not necessarily beneficial, because the uncoated side may be more prone to the phenomenon of printing color peeling due to friction in subsequent processing.

3. Riding nails

Riding staple is an excellent option for most digital prints, especially for the binding of thinner books such as guides, brochures and brochures. The binding method is economical and practical, and can be connected with other processing methods, can simultaneously match page, folding, binding and online cutting post-press processing, which can provide guarantee for the fast delivery required by digital printing.

4, flat subscription

In the design of flat bound books, first of all, pay attention to leave enough binding room between the staple and the text, for example, O spiral wire hole ratio of 3:1 (there are 3 holes per inch), should leave 3/8 inch blank; When the wire-to-hole ratio is 2:1, leave a 1/2 inch gap. Most computer design programs do not take into account the small changes in the thickness of the paper after printing. In digital printing, the color pattern printed on the surface of the paper will cause the thickness of the sheet to change. When several pages of digital printing are bound, the cumulative thickness changes may render the carefully calculated binding size meaningless.

5, wireless adhesive binding

And offset printing of wireless binding processing, digital printing of wireless binding should also consider the amount of binding. In addition to allowing 1/8 of an inch for milling on the back, allow 1/8 of an inch for cutting on the other three sides of the book. In addition, a 1/4 inch gluing area should be set aside at the bottom of the book cover to prevent the glue from seeping into the next book in the binding. The rubber binding processing also requires that the bleeding cover should be larger than the size of the text.

6, riding the wireless adhesive binding

The key of hardcover technology is how to bond the book block and the hard book case firmly to produce books that can be preserved for a long time. Although the cost and time required by wireless adhesive binding and digital printing for the short printing market seems to be somewhat inconsistent, but some post-printing binding enterprises have premade digital printing hardcover commonly used in different colors, different styles and different sizes of hardcover book case for digital printers to choose, so wireless adhesive binding hardcover has become a common binding method of digital printing.
