Until now, binding high-gloss paper commonly used in photo books has been a source of great difficulty. Traditional methods (like notching the pages and sewing the sheets together) are time-consuming and expensive.  Also, they don’t allow for full-page bleeds and true/aligned, full-spread images.  

Powis' remarkable StitchFree™ binding system takes a radically new approach to the problem of paper preparation. Its innovative splitting technique allows you to produce elegant, signature-like hardcover books using glossy paper.

supplies for the Photobook Work Cell™

Just one of our Photobook Work Cells™ can easily support a high-volume digital photography printer. And the equipment automatically adjusts to varying book thickness. Each Photobook Work Cell™ contains:

	Fastback® Splitter… … quickly and easily prepares photo book paper for adhesion by splitting the bind edge of each sheet. This way, the adhesive attaches internally to the raw paper fibers rather than the exterior coating.
	Fastback® 25 Photobook Binder… …creates photo books that match expensive custom made books in every detail. From high quality windowed covers made with custom materials, to the endleaves, headbands and other decorations.
	Fastback® Hardcover Guide… …allows anyone to finish a commercial-quality hardcover photo book in just seconds. So assembly is easy and customer orders are produced consistently.
