Double-fan Adhesive Binding
Press
This press is used to compress
a book that has just received an in-house adhesive (quarter joint)
binding. It holds the book firmly in place, but does not necessarily
have to press the gutters to create deep hinges. Plastic-edged boards
replace the metal edged ones used in the conventional finishing press.
These boards can be flipped over to provide more or less pressure on the
hinge. This allows the book to maintain its original shape, especially if
it is a paperback that has just been
put into a hard cover.
