So much more than eliminating cracking..................

Yes, today's cover stocks can be a nightmare as owners of perfect binding lines will no doubt be aware, but there is more to the finished appearance of a book than simply stopping the cover from cracking.

When creasing covers using the new Rosback Truescore-Pro TS30 system for all machines equipped with twin 30mm pre-creasing shafts on the cover feeder, instead of the crease being a "necessary evil", it can also become an attractive feature if you can impart a deep wide defined crease to accentuate the hinge crease.

As well as being more aesthetically pleasing, a stronger deeper hinge crease will make the cover easier to open and prevent strain on the side glued portion.

All covers up to 400gsm can be routinely produced as in the picture above.
