DOCUMENT BINDING STYLES
IV
Your Fastback® binder lets you choose between different
binding styles . Each style uses its own type of strip or cover
supplies. The five types of supplies are:
A. Image
Strip
™
The Image Strip (figure 3) is a complete corporate identity
on a strip . You design the strip to include any logos, graphics,
photographs and other information you desire . Now everything
you bind is readily identifiable are uniquely your own. The
primary feature of the Image Strip that distinguishes it from
all other types of strips is the larger front panel surface that is
custom printed to let you add interesting visual impact to your
documents .
B. Lx-Strip™, Lx-CP Strip™, or Lx-Comp Strip™
Lx-Strip™, Lx-CP Strip™, and Lx-Comp Strip™ (figure 4) are
our standard binding strips specifically designed for the Fastback
9 binder . These strips are available in Narrow and Medium
widths, and in a variety of lengths, including 11” and A4 .
The Lx-Strip™ and Lx-CP Strip™are identical in appearance .
For most documents, the Lx-Strip is the best choice . If you are
printing to a color laser printer that uses fuser oil, or you are
using extremely smooth paper, then we recommend the Lx-CP
Strip, which provides a stronger bind in these instances . The eye-
catching executive look of the Lx-Comp Strip offers a high-end
appearance, and is designed to match our Comp covers for
your special presentations .
C. Halfback
™
covers
With Halfback™ covers
(figure 5), you can produce documents
with printed covers that look like they were perfect-bound . The
front cover and spine are combined to give a more seamless
look . You can create your design on a computer and print the
Halfback cover using an inkjet printer. A separate back cover
is used to complete your document . The covers also come in
solid colors and are pre-scored for easy and accurate results
every time .
NOTE
:
Do not print Halfback covers on laser printers .
