Is it just me or do others hate the darned plastic binders they use for copied manuals?
Picky Tony
It's not just you Tony, good rant,
They annoy me. The fangs either break off or keep popping out, causing pages to dislodge and making them hard to turm. I'm sure, if I had enough time in my life, I'd probably break them up and put each page inside a plastic pocket and put them into a ring binder.

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?

Hi Tony,
The manuals are trivial to repair - the Ibico opens the binding and you can then pull out groups of pages or add pages or even replace the binding.

Not a bad video - I should make a more substantive one because I also bind laminated covers to my manuals that are sometimes well over 100 pages. They don't show you using the comb on the rear to store the pages as you punch them.
You can punch 25 or so pages (depending on thickness) at a time.
