I've really enjoyed my pro-click! The spines are easily cut to make smaller books. I often print books using the "booklet" format so they come out half the size of a regular sheet of paper and then cut the spine to fit. I've made blank journals that way and sold them too using a nice heavy pocket folder trimmed a little as the cover.

I love my ProClick! I have also tried a comb binder but really disliked it. For our next unit, Space, I used Barnes & Noble press with spiral binding - mainly just to compare to the printing from Gather Round. I haven’t received it yet though. Even if I decide to print that way from now on, I still have tons of other things I will use my ProClick for.
@joannabarton39854 жыл бұрын
Correction...I used Lulu Xpress for my printing and binding. I forgot that I was never able to use Barnes and Noble because it wouldn’t upload my files. Lulu Xpress cost around $25 to print the Space Teacher’s Guide and Student Notebook with spiral binding and thick covers. The printing looks professional too. Just another option if you didn’t want to DIY.
