Indeed, these are the persons who depend on the handling of the parts and give you valuable feedback from practice.

I use a slant style binding via a VPC machine. I reinforce the inner pages with clear tape. Open pages lie perfectly flat and parts are easy to store.John Ruggero wrote: ↑18 Feb 2017, 03:18
How else does one conveniently bind parts that have more pages than can be stapled into one signature? Perfect bindings, gluing signatures together, taping, Gamble hinges etc. are all problematic, at least for me. Perhaps a new thread on binding techniques would be helpful.
John, I don't want to be argumentative (especially with a fellow Arnstein alumnus) but if you read my post carefully you will see that I stated that I reinforce inner pages with clear tape. Pages will not come loose - you can't even pull them out on purpose.John Ruggero wrote: ↑20 Feb 2017, 02:48 I think that I would have to experience the VPC machine first hand, because from the descriptions, it doesn't seem substantial enough for my uses. I don't want to worry about pages falling out. Perfect binding would seem to be more substantial than the VPC system and yet pages drop out after some use.
