Brooks - good job - it looks awesome!

Very nice. That should get you some gigs (jobs, not memory)!

Brooks & Shapps:

So how are your pages (and specifically the scoring) holding up in those new books?

I'm about to have my first books made and I need to go through the process of getting my pages scored/punched, etc for the books and I'm just looking for any info I can on the best methods.

Thanks!

Guys, you may want to know that you can get proper heavy duty paper scorers from suppliers to the printing industry.

I got mine 10 years ago, and I don't remember where from, but it cost aroung �300 and it looks like a heavy base with a bridge in the middle which containts the scoring blades.

You feed the paper through the bridge and there are adjustable stops at the other end (with a ruler alongside) so that the paper stops at the right place to score as you insert the paper.

Then you just lower down a lever and you get a beautiful and professional looking score, much like you get with folding postcards.

This type of score doesn't seem to scuff the paper, unlike the manual bone score that is really tedious to use, plus then all the painful folding of the paper up and down to create some kind of hinge.

My friend photographers laughed at the expense just to score a few portfolios, but it all depends on how much of a perfectionist you want to be.
