Bindomatic FAQs

Q: How long do the perfect bound covers have to sit in the cooling stand before I can use them?

A: Most office documents will be ready for use after ~2 minutes of cooling. For spine sizes above 15mm it is recommended to allow more time for cooling. The wider a document is, the longer time will be needed for the document to cool to room temperature (i.e., for maximum binding strength).

Q: How do I make sure that all of the pages are going to be secured in the cover?

A: Please follow these steps when binding:

  1. Use the cover size selector to choose the right size cover for your office document. I.e. choose a cover that is wide enough for your set of papers.

  2. Jog the set of paper to align the sheets carefully and then load the set into the cover.

  3. a) For Bindomatic binding machine model 1000 - Position the office documents on the heating plate. Tap on the documents to ensure that all of the sheets make good contact with the adhesive in the spine.

    b) For Bindomatic binding machine model 5000: Position the office documents on the heating plate and gently slide the support plate shut. This will ensure that documents stand as straight as possible and make the best possible contact with the heating plate along the entire spine. Tap on the documents to ensure that all of the sheets make good contact with the adhesive in the spine.

    c.) For binding machine model 101DFS: Drop/feed the documents for automatic jogging, heating and cooling.

  4. For binding machine model 1000 & 5000: After binding heat sequence, let the perfect bound document cool down ~2 minutes prior to use. For all binding machine models, remember that wider documents should be allowed to cool a bit longer, prior to use.

Q: I am thinking of purchasing the Print on Demand cover. What type of printer will I need to use with it?

A: The Print on Demand cover is developed for use with a digital printer and the paper is generally not suited for Inkjet printers - although there are Inkjet users that mean it works for them too.

The digital printer must be able to handle coated glossy paper quality for heavier stock (210GSM) and also A3+ format since the width of the spine adds to the length of the paper.

It is recommended to test a sample to see if the result matches expectations.

Please note that if the printer used is not suited / specified for the defined paper quality, and as a consequence the printer performance is compromised, Bindomatic cannot / do not accept liability.

Q: Are your spine sizes exact in measurements?

A: Bindomatic spine sizes are exact. Standard spine widths (A4) are from 1.5 mm to 15 mm. Sheet capacity is based upon 80GSM paper. The use of heavier paper stock will call for a wider cover to be used. If you have questions regarding paper and spine width sizes, please contact us here.

Q: Why should I use Bindomatic, versus just stapling my office documents?
