Image Adjustment
The image should be centered on the gap if printing cross page spreads. Otherwise, full bleed images can be printed through the gap entirely as necessary.

Printing Tips
- The Canon C1 can handle FlexBind® paper weights up to 209 gsm out of the cassette or 256 gsm out of the bypass drawer. Since it is generally preferrable to print FlexBind® sheets with the hinge on the side (rather than hinge leading/trailing) the product will be run grain long through the press. Auto duplexing can be an issue with papers above 200gsm when run grain-long. Therefore, for heavier stocks, it is recommended to use the bypass tray and simplex print.
- FlexBind® sheets can be run with the hinge in any orientation. Ideally, in-board or out-board (in the print direction) is preferred.
- Slight image deletions when printing in the gap are normal. When bound in a book, those deletions become less noticeable.
- Depending on the limitation of the equipment, some heavier weight materials may not auto-duplex. Therefore, these products should be manually-duplex printed.
- It is recommended that the bypass drawer is used for feeding.
- If the printer jams repeatedly at the output tray of the 700, run the sheets in a manual duplex mode with the paper weight selector set on the maximum paper weight setting.
- Fan sheets gently when loading into the feed drawer.
- UV coating can be used normally with FlexBind®.
