METALBIND SYSTEM
Atlas 190 was designed to use channels and covers from the METALBIND system.
The covers and the documents are clamped together from the outside by a
Metalbind channel. Covers are larger and protect the documents and edges from
damage, channels only touched by the covers plus making them secure and in
their original condition. Metalbind is the strongest binding method.
A special feature o the Atlas 190 is that it can also bind and de-bind covers
from the C-Bind system.

The equipment is now ready for work.
BINDING WITH METALBIND
1. Use channel width selecting tool (6) or table below to
choose size of channel.
H = hard cover. p = pages. T = transparent cover. S = soft cover. O = no cover.
Example: H/p/H =(H) hard cover/ (p)pages / (H) hard cover
