Combined Endsheets Demo at On-Demand Conference

Last week marked the 2010 On Demand Conference and Expo and the 3rd year LBS has partnered with equipment manufacturers at On Demand and similar events to demo the Combined Endsheet and Universal Endsheet running on pefect binders. This year we partnered with Standard Horizon and Bourg.

The Combined Endsheet was definently the star of our product demonstrations. It's a proven favorite for Photo Books, Yearbooks, and other on-demand books that are manufactured to consistant thicknesses. The reason for its popularity is that it allows the book manufacturer to attach folded endsheets AND reinforcing cloth to the bookblock during the binding process. The Combined Endsheet is simply loaded into the perfect binder's cover feeder in place of a paper cover. The final result is a reinforced bookblock ready for casing in.



Incase you didn't see the demos at the show, here are videos of the Combined Endsheet running on Horizon and Bourg Perfect binders. More videos available at http://tinyurl.com/LBSvideos.

Please let me know if you'd like more information or samples for testing. Enjoy!

The Miracle that is Perfect Binding

Whether you're new to bookbinding or a long time veteran, it's hard to deny that the perfect binder has proven itself to be a wonderful resource for on-demand book manufacturing. The quality of perfect binding is constantly improving, bringing what many playfully call “not-so-perfect binding” closer to the strength and flexibility of sewn bindings. Another link in the chain of the evolution perfect binding and on-demand book manufacturing are undergoing is the LBS Combined Endsheet.

The Combined Endsheet offers the speed and ease of perfect binding with the durability, permanence and value of cased-in editions. It is made up of two folded endsheets joined at the fold by a strip of cloth reinforcing tape. Simply load the endsheet into the cover feeder on your perfect binder (instead of your paper cover). The result is a reinforced bookblock ready to case-in.

LBS has samples available for testing. Let me know if you’d like more information.
