The unique Coverbind Print On-Demand thermal binding covers were designed specifically for businesses, which generally work with digital printers and copier machines. They also work fine with many Inkjet printers, although not all because of the paper size and material. Just keep in mind that there are tens of thousands of different printer models out there, and it would be impossible for us to test all machines; therefore, it is very important for you to check your specific machine compatibility before use*. Here are some specs for the covers that you can use to check compatibility with your printer:
• Paper Size - Printer must be able to handle 11" W x 18 ⅛" long paper size. Some printers are specifically rated to handle 11" x 17" paper, however, the 18 ⅛" additional length is due to the spine of the cover. Make sure your printer can handle this paper size before you buy.
• Paper Stock - These covers are made of an 80 lb. (210 gsm) glossy cover stock, so your printer will need to be able to handle not only the glossy coating, but also the 80 lb. minimum thickness.
• Test - If you are are unsure of the compatibility even after checking your printer specs for the above, you test a sample at your discretion* to see if the result matches your expectations. Call us at (800) 944-4573 to see if samples are available.
