Panoramic Binding Gets Rid of the Gutter

Monday 21. March 2011 - Thinking about getting into the photobook business? Mohawk now offers bindery equipment specifically for producing lay-flat, gutter-eliminating, books on Mohawk Panoramic.

“With Mohawk Panoramic papers and this bindery equipment there’s no more gutter. Images flow seamlessly across the fold, creating high-impact brochures, elegant proposals, and dramatic photo albums—all with no concern about crossovers, color matches, or missing parts,” says Chris Harrold, Vice President of Business Development, Digital Papers.
Printers and photographers alike will be able to create quick and cost-effective lay-flat casebound photobooks. They can choose from three simple units, available at authorized Mohawk paper merchants nationwide:
RT1 Roller Tacker — a multipurpose unit that reinforces the folded crease, created a properly aligned book block, and aids in applying the case to the book block.
BP1 Book Press — a multipurpose sealing unit that uses pressure created between the platens to seal the book block leaves and create a final pressure seal for joining the book block to the cover.
CC1 Cover Crimper — this unit joins the cover of the book to the book block by crimping it along the sides of the cover next to the spine. It also operates manually without air or electricity.
