    I use the plastic binder machine all the time. We make the departmentalized students' yearbook with them - about 40 per year. I also make my signature "Smartest Artist" book for the elementary kids. Smartest Artists is a work book with activities related to the lessons I teach. The kids love the book as they get to take it home at the end of the year.

    My high school students love that I have a hard copy of all the fonts available on my computer. It helps them design their work before getting on the computer and there is less idol time for students waiting for their turn to compose their layout.

    The nice thing about the binder is that pages can be repaired and/or added as needed. I got mine from the dumpster as a retiring teacher thought it was broken. It is manual and I use the various sizes of plastic binders as I need them.

      After all the discussion on sketchbooks/visual journals, etc. I was
      wondering if anyone who uses the binding machines (plastic or wire?, manual
      or electric?) has one in their art room, or if they use one in the office
      instead. If the $150.00 manual ones are any good, with about $30 for over
      100 binding combs, I think I'll save money in the long run. I think I'd
      rather do the plastic or wire combs so the books open up flatter. Or, as we
      say here in Oklahoma, "more flatter".

      advice always welcome.

      PS- I got a nice apology from Aripia. I think he's been trying to post to
      the list with the wrong address and was very frustrated by it.
