FWIW: I have started printing directly on 20x13 sheets and folding them over. This is by far the most satisfactory result I have ever produced.

For individual sheets (6 or fewer, if using heavy stock), I still think VPC Binding Tape is a very attractive choice. Some people are skeptical that it holds the pages securely enough, but my experience has been that it holds them as well or better than comb binding. The main advantage is that there is no binder. It looks quite similar to a fold-over part. VPC Binding Tape is an especially attractive choice if your part has only two sheets.

I was not aware of the ProClick system before. It appears to have some very convenient and superior features. In terms of how it looks to the end user, however, it seems quite similar to Plastikoil. There are certainly Plastikoil machines that will accommodate 14" and longer spines, but these tend to be more expensive. :-(

Hi all,

How does everyone go about binding 9x12 (or larger) sheets? I've been using the GBC ProClick spines for 8.5x11 paper -- the P50 punch is quite inexpensive, and the spines make it easy to add and remove sheets as necessary. They are also reusable, and they don't cut into the paper like comb binding does. Unfortunately, the punch I own (P50) does not accommodate paper longer than 11.25".

Does anyone have any experience with any of the other GBC binders? The P200 binder <http://www.gbcoffice.com/products/binding/proclick.asp> says that it's "adjustable for oversize covers," but I think by "oversize" they just mean 8.75" by 11.25".

It's difficult to tell from GBC's website which binders accommodate items 12" long and up -- the only one that clearly does, as far as I can tell, is the C250. <http://www.gbcoffice.com/products/binding/combbind.asp> And that doesn't work with the ProClick spines -- it supports those dreadful combs, but also GBC's ZipBind spines, which may be a little better. Anyone have any experience with those?

Finally, to revive the 9x12 discussion from a few weeks ago -- does anyone know of any reliable *online* source for 9x12 paper? I mean, a Google search easily turns up plenty of places that either stock 9x12 or will cut it for you, but does anyone have any personal experience with any of them? Any opinions w/r/t price, reliability, etc?
