Does this machine use binding strips or does it have to be their customized cover? (I want to make a book with my own cardstock cover and reg paper)

You can use binding strips I made customized covers for the project that I used it for and it came out perfect

The holes will line up but you will have three or four inches of the page sticking out from the binder. I brought a page to Staples and tried every binder they had with the same result.

Hi elizabeth, great question, the pages are in fact blank. Their held in with 2 metal rings similar to that of a binder, which would allow you to replace the pages with lined ones instead, hope this helps!

It is tabs, the cover and spine insert. You will need to purchase a three ring binder and I bought clear protector pages as well.

I just finished making 50 books and the binding was even with the length of the book but I think it depends on what type of binding you use. With the bindings I use, you can cut them if necessary.

The holes do line up however because of the way the regular binder closes the page gets moved and the hole rip quickly after use. My daughter has these pages in a regular binder and the last page rips its holes and moves everywhere if you use the actual Artisan BINDERS then you shouldn't have any issues with this problem I haven;t had any with my pages in the Artisan Binders

The machine only punches holes for the coil binding. You would need to rebind the materials with a new coil binding, or else remove the existing binding coil and reinsert it after putting in the new page.

No, it doesn't hold very well. I would stick with the binding combs to be honest. This hasn't worked well to bind even 20 pages together for us. Pretty disappointing.

I have this binder and I believe it had the clear sleeves and some for cards. I only use the clear sleeves so that I have a front and a back and can easly pull them out. I insert my own as well. Not sure this helped.

Yes. The startup kit includes the covers and combs to do just that. The number of sheets you can bind depends on the comb size you select. I have done small projects like your 20 - 50 sheet one as well as larger ones up to 350 or so sheets of 24# paper plus covers.

This machine will bind 2 pages if you want it to! The only thing necessary to have a nice-looking bound book/pamphlet is to buy the size comb necessary according to the number of pages you want to bind. Remember that the front and back covers, usually a heavier paper, add to the thickness of book, etc. No worries! It'll work!

No it does not, the binding itself would break if you tried to fit anymore paper in there

The 18x24 portfolio books I have ordered (four so far) have individual pages that you slide prints into clear plastic. The binding is not a ring binder, but a regular binding like a printed book. I have used mine for 18x24 poster prints and one portfolio per category.

strips, but i suggest you spend $10 or $15 more and get a nice electric one mine gave out on the first bag orf shredding and i did not do all at the same time. also it only takes a paper the size of a business envelope one paper at a time.

Hi Sheila. I love this machine. I agree with the other responses however I have done a short test run of just cutting a straight line from the edge of the paper to the center of each hole and then inserting the new page this way and it sure does seem to hold well but depending on what you are using it for that may not be a permanent solution. Also, don't buy the crimper...I use a small pair of needle nose pliers that work great.

No. If I remember correctly it comes with standard screws that can hold a few pages at best. You will need to purchase extender screws, pages and a cover separately.

I bought hard cover and made photo book. It works well. To make strong bind use staple (personally recommend). It works better.
