Is it just me or do others hate the darned plastic binders they use for copied manuals?

If you are talking about the Ibico (Pakistan) Comb style binding that is pretty much the standard for reproduction manuals. AMR and Victory Glass use this process for binding, and it makes it easy to remove and replace pages.
We have two of the Ibicos and they work a treat for binding the manuals we reproduce!

I've seen the scrolled wire binding and that has its problems too.
Both are better than 3-ring binding!

John, it's seldom I disagree with you, but for me staples are the best. If a manual comes with 2 or 3 staples, I add extra staples. My stapler will do 160 pages, I'll do them in two half's if needed. Before stapling I put a strip of tape around the binding so the front and rear pages don't tear out easily.
Many times I have pulled the staples out of originals and make copies of pages important to me then re-staple.
If I invest in an Ibico tool, can I easily repair manuals that have a broken binding? And just curious, how many holes can they stamp out at a time?
