Steps
to creating a custom hard cover (case book):
Step One:
Insert your chipboard or card stock in the rotating arm of the H530
and turn on the table light.
Step Two:
Print your image on Maping's unique super-size tacking sheet (ink
jet or laser material). You can optionally laminate the sheet using
an 8 micron laminate for protection. Peel off the pressure sensitive
backing and lay the sheet face down on the H530 table.
Step Three:
Rotate the H530 arm, which lowers the card stock onto the tacking
sheet in the precise position. Trim the corners at 45 degrees and
fold over the four edges.
Step Four:
Run the cover through the laminator to cold pressure press out any
paper bubbles or wrinkles. Your hard cover is now ready for binding!
Step Five:
Place a hard cover fly-sheet on each side of your book block. Bind
the book on a Fastbind machine and then peel out the backing from
the fly sheets. The inside chipboard is now covered. If you wish,
you can pre-print on the inside of the cover fly-sheets to give
your book that extra professional touch
