M5: Miscellaneous Print Design Flashcards
process of collecting, collating, and compiling the leaves of a manuscript into a single volume of work.
Binding
The cover and spine are made from various hard or denser materials like board, vinyl, and leather.
Case Binding
The pages are sewn together as signatures or sections first, then compiled with the rest of the volume in the proper sequence
Sewn or Thread Binding
The way this is done involves sanding or roughening the book block along the spine to create better adhesion, applying the glue to the roughened spine, wrapping the cover around the glued pages, and trimming it to avoid uneven edges around the book.
Perfect Binding
This method uses heat to put pages together with the spine.
Thermal or Tape Binding
uses circular plastic rings that go through evenly spaced rectangular holes punched through the pages of the book.
Comb Binding or Plastic Binding
uses wire coils
Spiral-Binding or Coil Binding
“double wire” or the pairs of wire loops that actually do not form a spiral the way coil or spiral binding does.
Wire-o Binding
Pages are held together by screws threaded through holes punched into the pages.
Screw-Post Binding
Finishes
coatings, like varnish, applied onto the paper or printing substrate that gives it a uniquely tactile quality or visual texture.
