Select an image blank according to the exact Fastback machine and the strip system it supports. LX Image Blanks are intended for Fastback 9 workflows, while Super Strip Image Blanks are made for compatible Fastback 20 applications. Other image-ready materials may be designed for hardcover production rather than strip binding. The Fastback shop-by-machine selection can help narrow supplies by equipment before size or design is considered. Confirm machine model, blank type, document length, printer requirements, and adhesive configuration. Do not interchange image blanks simply because they have similar dimensions.
Use the printer type specified for the exact image blank. Certain strip blanks are designed for inkjet printing because laser heat or toner may not perform correctly during the Fastback binding cycle. The printable side and feed direction should also be confirmed before production. Run one blank through the printer and binding process to test alignment, color, drying, and adhesion. Avoid printing too close to folds, adhesive sections, or trim areas. Keep the blanks flat and dry before printing because curled material can feed poorly and shift the artwork away from the intended position.
Set up the artwork using the correct template for the strip or cover format. Logos, titles, and important text should remain within the safe area so they are not hidden by folds or moved off-center during binding. The design should account for the final spine width, document orientation, and strip length. The Fastback printer cartridges are relevant when a compatible dedicated printing system is used, while other blanks may require an approved inkjet workflow. Print a proof and fold or position it around a sample document before producing the full quantity.
Printed blanks can be prepared in advance when they are stored flat, clean, and protected from moisture, heat, dust, and direct sunlight. Allow the ink to dry fully before stacking so designs do not transfer or smear. Separate different machine formats, strip types, and document sizes to prevent the wrong blank from entering production. Custom blanks containing dated information should be produced only in quantities likely to be used. Keep an unprinted master and the approved artwork file so future batches can be recreated accurately without scanning or copying an older printed blank.
Test the entire process with the intended printer, artwork, blank, Fastback machine, document thickness, and cover materials. Confirm that the image is centered after the strip folds around the spine and that the printed surface remains clean after heat binding. The compatible Fastback binding machines determine which image-blank system can be used. Inspect the test document after it cools, paying attention to adhesion, color stability, text alignment, and edge placement. Record the printer settings and template version once the result is approved.
