I guess my 3-dimensional perception just hasn't kicked in yet this morning, but I can't picture where the tape goes in a booklet, or why you would use it. I too favor booklets unless I have a part with absolutely NO possible page turns and I have to find another solution, but after fitting

John, Jef is doing something which I'd honestly never before considered or heard of, which is to print double sided (on 9.5x12.5 paper), then tape pairs of pages together in booklet order, then staple on the *tape*. Not only does it make oversize booklets viable, It's actually better

Jef, when you're not using electrical tape, what do you normally use? the canadian music centre (montréal branch). i normally send the jobs to them to print, bind and mail (and usually never see the printed parts!), but this was a really big and long job and in the end i didn't have time

The only electrical tape I know about is black and sticky: hardly a candidate for taping parts. What you are using is obviously different. no really, it's electrical tape, protection up to 6000V. like bruce said, it isn't as sticky as it used to be.

Well, I must be the cheapest guy on the taping issue, but a big band leader who I have been supplying parts to for over 10 years has said that everything is still good. I use the cheap painter's 1 inch masking tape (preferably 3M). Years ago I found masking tape to be useless as it dried out,

I also use the VPC tape - very nice stuff, easy to use and remove, if you misalign something, or tape pages in the wrong order (been there, done that). It comes in pre cut lengths, which makes it quick to use too, and the only disadvantage I can see is that it is expensive, but my supply
