These features help you visualize your strip by allowing you to see
your title on 16 (!) different colored Binderstrips™, using four
different foil colors.
1. Strip Color
Click “Strip Color” to display your strip color options. When you
open this window, the currently selected strip color is highlighted.
“Preview” displays each color as you click on it.
Choose the color you want. Once you have selected your color,
select “OK” to activate your selection; “Cancel” to exit without
making changes.
REMINDER:
The color of the printed Binderstrip™ is dictated by
what color strip you feed into the PowisPrinter™. Although you might
have chosen a red strip in the Design Window, if you insert a purple
strip, the printer will print on that purple strip.
2. Foil Color
The foil color is the text color on your strip. Click “Foil Color” to
display your foil color options. When you open this window, the
currently selected foil color is highlighted. “Preview” displays each
color as you click on it.
Choose the color you want. Once you have selected your color,
select “OK” to activate your selection; “Cancel” to exit without
making changes.
REMINDER:
What you choose here does not necessarily reflect
what prints. That depends on the foil cartridge you have in your
printer. If you have a gold cartridge in your PowisPrinter™, it will print
gold titles, regardless of your Foil Color selection in the Design
Window.
F. Book Thickness
Say you're designing a Binderstrip™ for a book. Eventually you
need to know your book's thickness, so your design fits your book.
If you do know your book's thickness, you can adjust the design's
thickness as appropriate. If you don't know your book's thickness,
don't worry. As long as your binder is docked to the
PowisPrinter™, PowisPrint™ software can update your design to
match the book in the binder.
NOTE:
You can design titles for a wide range of book thicknesses:
from 0.04 inches to 1.5 inches thick (using standard copy paper, this
translates to between 10 and 375 sheets*).
1. If You Know Your Book’s Thickness
If you know your book’s thickness, or you want to see how your
* If the document you plan to bind contains
something other than standard, 20-pound-
bond paper, you may want to change the
“Pages Per Inch” setting in the Preferences
Menu (see Chapter 4, page 57). If you do
not want to make this change, simply use
the “Thickness” measurement as your guide,
instead of “Sheets.”
