I find the book binding process so fun. I like crafty things so maybe that is why. After you did your book tour and showed those fabric bound books I started binding books with fabric from scraps I already had. It's definitely more involved but so fun. Also if I do soft cover I print a cover and add some family photos or pics of the kids, I figured it makes it more fun for them to read if it's so personal. And it's a way to print some of those millions of photos we take but never do anything with.

[@ourhouse]

That sounds so cool!

[@mrs.p5756]

Thanks for the updated video on printing books Karen! I already printed 3 books for my kids and didn't have all the tools needed to spiral them. I think I like this way of making books better. Can't wait to put them together!

[@iamneverwrong6635]

I come back to this video every single time I forget how to bind the books in Robinson curriculum! Thanks, Karen

[@oldporkchops]

Excellent video. For those intending to buy a printer, the technical term listed under each printer's specifications for printing on both sides is "duplex". Duplex can be automatic or manual. Avoid manual if possible because it wastes time and has the potential to mess up the page numbering and paper orientation. Hope this helps.

[@ourhouse]

Yes, good point, thank you.

[@ashleyhenderson7055]

I love this! Thank you for showing us how to do this.

[@denaemadray1194]

So helpful! Thanks a mill I was catching a fit trying to print out a book of mine Foxit worked like a dream.

[@leoventocilla]

OMG!! you are definitely a God giving gift!! your videos are great and very simple to follow!!!! Thank you so much.

[@sudusv6376]

Thank you so much! This was very easy to follow. Have a great day! ❤

[@creatingwhimsy7561]

You did amazing, thank you for sharing, it’s truly appreciated!❤

[@mariepgozzer]

Thank you! That was a really nice idea!

[@mitetoOoOoO]

This was the information I needed. Thanks. Just one thing: This printer prints double sided on A5 paper also (which is the size of the pages after you cut them) so maybe if you buy the A5 paper, you can print double sided and you won't have to cut every page in half.

[@l.harrington2182]

Thank you so much for this!!!!

[@Tanya_loudestgarden]

Just tried this with one of the RC books for my kids and it worked perfectly ❤ thanks! This was so much fun and will save me so much money.

[@ourhouse]

Yay!

[@nbobrick17]

So funny, I planned on doing RC Book Binding today. I don't know why I enjoy these book binding videos so much 😄 I've seen all of yours. The one part I find tedious is the paper cutting. Getting a cheap guillotine paper cutter off Amazon has made it so much easier.

[@ourhouse]

Ooh I bet, I should look into that.

[@berrypatch5583]

Great tutorial and winter is a great time to print books! Thanks Karen🤓

[@ourhouse]

Yes very cozy :)

[@livingadopelife]

Love the video 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾

[@soul.fungai]

Amazing video!!!

[@eddeddesc3717]

😮 wow Thank you!

[@ruthgamble]

Thank you.

[@Seeyouspaceboy]

Thank you ❤❤❤

[@uncatila]

i r writen a few hindred poems of all types. i wish yo make an anthology of loke 30 poems just to give as a gift or introduction to my work and this is great. i saved your videoes for refference. this is much better yhan sending everything out. thanks for these great suggestions on software and a printer. Patrick

[@litamann7648]

Thanks!

[@ourhouse]

Thank you!

[@doubleastudio5010]

Can you make a seprate video how to makr and then print book covers like this one in the video? Please

[@LavenderHazelwood]

What's the easiest way to do this if you have a printer that prints only on one side?

[@haf3113]

what type of paper did you use? normal, or is there specific ?

[@polynesianarms]

AWESOME simplified video! Do you recommend the Epson EcoTank ET-2850 over the ET-2760? Mahalo for your precious time! Blessings Gil 💯🤙🏽🙏🏼

[@ourhouse]

Yes, this is what I have www.amazon.com/dp/B096N85ZHW/ref=cm_sw_r_as_gl_api_gl_i_8QPRYXQK0KD8JR1X99CM?linkCode=ml2&tag=ourhouse06-20

[@PokeMadness1996]

when printing itll say pages shown and you put 2 and it does the samething

[@Seeyouspaceboy]

Oh u have real book back there

[@livingadopelife]

There isn’t a free version on fox it reader when I click on link. There is only free trial

[@amnesiac.kitten04]

hi! Thank you for the tutorial! I have a question: I accidentally pressed cancel on my printer halfway through printing the book (what a pain!) and I was wondering if you knew of any way to get the rest of the book printed the same way? but only specific pages since I have half the book printed haha. I tried so many things but I just couldn't get the pages printed in the same order. Thanks!

[@ourhouse]

I don’t think so, not when you print in booklet format. I’ve been there myself, I know it hurts to waste all that paper.

[@eriisky5168]

I really want to get into bookbinding and this video has been uper helpful! Thank you for all thr advice. One thing though, whenever I select booklet mode it always ends up mixing up the order of the pages. It puts the first and last pages together for me, working towards the middle. Is there any way to fix this without completely reordering the PDF before putting it into the software?

[@ourhouse]

That’s how it’s suppose to be. If you cut the pages in half and like I did in the video when you put it together it comes out perfect.

[@eriisky5168]

@@ourhouse thank you! I think I was just a bit nervous because I have limited paper to use and didn’t want to mess it up. It came out great!

[@jordanlotus188]

nice

[@JaiBeesCrochet]

For some reason when I print booklet it prints a margin in the middle that when I cut it with my paper cutter and then do the two hole punch, and put the prong thing in. When I go to flip through the book the inner parts of the edges are really tough to manipulate it open to read it well. I use Foxit and your tips for printing. Any tips?

[@ourhouse]

Yes, Adjust the margins to be wider in foxit.

[@nbobrick17]

I like to adjust the margins to 0.5inch on foxit reader.

[@JaiBeesCrochet]

@@nbobrick17 I just got done printing with a 1.0” margin and it worked out great. However I also really really like the 8.5x11 size double sided. The font is so much better on the old eyes. Well my cruddy eyes anyway. Haha

[@nbobrick17]

@Amber Fencil lol I know what you mean! It's a much easier read. Id love to print full-sized, and then bind with 2 prongs. My 7 year old thinks it's weird, though, and likes me printing in booklet. I've even tried to print 2 pages per page, with the binding on the short edge (to avoid having to do any paper cutting), and she still doesn't like it. Sigh...

[@JaiBeesCrochet]

@@nbobrick17 haha. Kids. Gotta love them. My 11 year old daughter said she preferred the 8.5 x 11 I printed so I’m going to do that for now.

[@meganmindcreates]

how do you do it without double side printer

[@ourhouse]

You can’t, not this way.

[@bhavitejt]

How do I print with a one side printer?

[@ourhouse]

You can’t, not duplex style at least.

[@SoupMansSoup]

Handy

[@user-tb6bd9sk9x]

How much that printer you used to print out that book

[@tylerbrown4638]

Around the 3:50 mark she mentioned the price of the printer, I think 250ish$ from Costco is what she said

[@carolinawithluv6789]

I wrote the book on google docs and saved it as a pdf, but should i change the page size on google docs (right now it's normal A4 size) before saving it or should i leave it the way it is?

[@ourhouse]

Leave it the way it is. The booklet format will take care of size.

[@pdworld3421]

Does it pay to print your own book?

[@ourhouse]

I think so.

[@karensmall4581]

when I printed a PDF I created in Pages the PDF reader (Adobe) changed the font size to too small. Is there a remedy?

[@karensmall4581]

I found the foxit software and used it. Thank you. It still reduced the size of the font but to a more acceptable size.

[@shrithanosmaharaj8679]

awesome job
