Powis Parker Fastback Scoring Machine Review
* Scoring machine used to put creases in covers for short run perfect binding. You use this machine to create a one piece wraparound cover with a boxed spine.
* Fashionable colors to match your other Powis Parker Fastback binding equipment
* Can be used for scoring items for folding in addition to producing covers
* It is a compression scoring machine that will provide a clean clear score without causing laser printed inks to crack.
* It includes convenient guides to help you set the machine up for producing covers with different sized spines. This is extremely helpful for getting high quality square creases every time.
* It comes with a double scoring knife standard and a single scoring knife can be purchased separately. The double scoring knife allows the front and back covers to easily open for a lay flat bind.
* It is extremely simple to use. All you need to do is put your document on the machine and pull the handle to create your score.
* It is manual (not electric) and thus is slow for production jobs.
* It can be somewhat difficult to adjust the guides to the correct settings. This gets easier with practice.
* It is limited in the sizes of stocks that It can handle. It is really designed for creating letter sized documents (portrait or landscape) and isn t ideal for doing large or small books.
* Heavy duty metal base and guides make it strong and durable.
* Rubber handle is convenient and easy to use.
* Clear plastic shield allows you to see alignment marks on your documents for easier scoring.
* This is one of the best manual scoring machines that I have seen on the market.
* Great for the purpose that it is designed for (short run perfect binding). Not ideal for production environments. These types of environments probably need a larger electric solution.
* Works great for creating your own custom printed thermal binding covers.
