The Pro-Bind Hard Cover Book Crimper provides the perfect finish to Hard Bound Books. This hardcover crimper is needed for finishing thermal hard cover cases in order to give your books the correct spine adjustment. Using the Probind hardback book crimper is as easy as 1-2-3. Immediately after the binding cycle is done, retract the handle on the crimper and place the spine of the book flat on the base towards the back of the hardcover crimper. Then release the handle and let the book stand in the crimper for at least 60 seconds or until the book is cool to the touch. Then Retract the handle and remove the book. It is as simple as that. Just make sure that when you bind the book that the spine is square and that the pages are jogged evenly and laid flat inthe spine for the best possible bind.

• The Pro-Bind thermal hard cover crimper helps to ensure the strongest possible bind for your thermal hard cover documents. The crimper takes the hard cover document and forces the hot glue inside the spine up into the base of the pages. This helps to ensure that every page comes into contact with the glue and ensures that pages will not work themselves out the bind. Without the crimper, some pages may not come into contact with the thermal glue and thus may come out of the book.
• The thermal hardcover crimper also helps to shape the spine of the book. The crimper uses two cylindrical rods to shape the spine of the book so that it has the appearance of a professional case bound book. This helps to provide a uniform look to all your hard cover case bound documents.
• The Thermal hardcover crimper also acts as a cooling rack for the document. You place the document into the crimper while the glue is still hot. The crimper forces the glue up into the base of the pages and shapes the spine. The book sits inside the crimper until the glue hardens and the book is permanently shaped.
