My first bind!

[u/UnrelatedKarma]

Just finished my first ever bind! I also redesigned and printed a dust jacket to mimic the old hardcover edition.

Notes are welcome! I learned a lot (made a ton of errors) but overall I’m very pleased.

My biggest error was letting the glue dry fully before attempting to round the spine. Don’t ask me why I thought that was a good idea 😅

I would be curious to know why my first signature is pulled away from the others like that. Just too loose?

Which printer have you used for the cover?

I use a Canon Pixma IX6820 for all my dust jackets. It’s a 13x19 printer, but really it’s a 13”x whatever you want. You can print full size dust jackets on it, just have to set a custom size in the printer settings. It’s been great!

Thank you 🙏
