Hand Work in the Bindery - 4 Popular Tips
Posted by Andre Palko on Fri, Sep 09, 2011
The old saw about "the more things change the more they stay the same" seems to hold true in the world of bindery and post-press. Sure, technology in our industry is changing on a daily basis, but
one thing that never goes out of fashion is traditional hand-work and old-style techniques.
Complex digital printing equipment allows for the production of high quality jobs in ever-smaller quantities. It's precisely because of this decline in quantities that a little old-fashioned bindery skill can often outperform production equipment.
The popularity of these 4 articles proves the point for me...they continue to get a constant stream of hits daily. In case you missed them, take a few minutes to check them out or pass them along to the new folks in your bindery.
We plan to continue with a series of new articles on hand-work, so if you have a hand-work skill or technique that’s a lifesaver for you, send it our way.
We’ll send you up to $100 if we can use your contribution for a full article. If it’s an interesting twist on an old article we’ll send you a gift card for at least $25, pending editorial review. And as always, feel free to share your insights and comments below.
