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
- FlexBind® sheets can be run with the hinge in any orientation. Ideally, in-board or out-board (in the print direction) is preferred.
- All weights of FlexBind® have been tested through the C6500 Press with acceptable performance and no press jams relating to the FlexBind® hinge. Weights ranged from 148 – 300 gsm. Testing is recommended before introducing new products.
- 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, run the sheets in a manual duplex mode with the paper weight selector set on the maximum paper weigth setting.
- When adjusting the image into place, use a plain sheet of paper cut to the same size as the FlexBind® sheet. This will save on setup costs.
- Fan sheets when loading into the feed drawer.
- UV coating can be used normally with FlexBind®.
