I'm working with a fastback x15, it's a wonderful machine but there's been a persistent error that I cannot figure out. The strip doesn't match the length of the book in the bind, meaning part of the strip hangs off the book after binding. It happens seemingly at random. Any idea as to how to fix that?

What is the price?

does it work with ink jet paper and printers?

[@Saddlepointsystems]

Hello!
Yes it does! Ink is designed to be absorbed by the paper (as opposed to toner, which sits on top of the paper) and thereby still allows the glue to adhere without issue. This means that with inkjet printing it is even less important to leave a unprinted margin along the bind edge for the glue to adhere to.
However, the recommendation to use un-coated papers (inkjet or digital) still apply; anything that coats the paper (clay coating, toner, etc) can prevent the glue from reaching the paper fibers and weaken the bind.
Let us know if you have any other questions, and thanks for watching!

Am not understanding this, are you saying papers with toner can not bind well?
