The Perfect Bind

—Jody Harrison, Muller Martini

Cover Scoring:

• Lower entry-level models will only nip the cover without scoring, which works, however on thinner books with heavier weight covers it is tricky. Four, or double line, scoring enables you to manufacture a book with the highest quality. The inner two scores are for the spine and the outer ones are the hinge for the cover. Between the cover and the hinge is where the spine glue is placed. These are items required to ensure the quality of the perfect bound book.
