METALBIND SYSTEM
Atlas 300 mono binding equipement was designed to bind documents with
channels and covers from the Metalbind system (available from OPUS). After as-
sembling the Image Press device it is possible also to hot print stamp on covers.
This is the strongest binding method
because covers and pages are clamped and healed together from the outside by channel
1 - The back wall of the channel is bent in to clamp the covers together.
2 - Special coverings for hot print stamping.
3 - Shaped front edge to keep a perfected flat face to the front of the presentations.
4 - The internal pages are protected against damage by the covers from the channel.
5 - The front face of the channel is never misshaped always flat.
6 - The special protrusions (on selected channels) at each end help to centre covers and papers of the
presentation document and stop them moving sideways in the channel.

2. The bound documentation must have thickness of at least 1,8 mm (without cover). If the
documentation is thinner, it is obligatory to use filling strips (e.g. O•Filling Sticky avail-
able at OPUS), to increase the thickness of bound documents. When using channels up to
16 mm size and C sizes in C-BIND covers, put before binding both binding inserts A1 and
B1 to the binding slot and when using covers with size over 16 mm and C sizes in C-BIND
covers, put only one B1 insert into the binding slot.
3. When debinding C-BIND covers use debinding wedge included in O.CB Debinding Tool for
Atlas 300/MB 300/MBE 300.
IMPORTANT! When using AA covers put AA jig on spine of the cover.

IMPORTANT!
The best results for hot print stamping are archived, when using the OPUS supplies
of hot print stamping foil and covers. To obtained the best results set the heater
temperature to 100 c. However, if the results are not satisfactory, a change of the
setting may be necessary, in such case turn the temperature regulator right or left.
1. Remove the binding bar (8 thin) or (9 thick) from the binding
slot.
2.Settheextendedbacksupporttothemaximumbackposition,
remove the adjustable side guide (12)

PREPARING THE TYPEFACE FONTS
11
The holes enable to distinguish between the top and the bottom of typeface fonts. The bot-
tomholeoftypefacefontsislargerorlocatedclosertotheedge(3.2mmand4mmhighfonts,
becauseoftheirsmallmeasurements,haveonlymarkeratthebottom).
9
PREPARING THE FONTS
1. Put the frame on the Frame Holder;
compose a required text by putting
suitable fonts into the frame.
Note! The fonts should be put in and
taken out by means of special tweezers.
The ends of the tweezers should be in-
serted into the holes in the fonts.
The holes enable to distinguish between the top and the bottom of a font. The bottom hole
of a font is larger or located closer to the edge (3.2 mm and 4 mm high fonts, because of their
small measurements, have only marker at the bottom).
Important! If the frame/ typeface fonts
were previously used or located in the de-
vice, wait for 5-10 min until they cool
down. DANGER OF BURN!
2. Lock the text in the frame by means of the
stops.
3. Put the frame (with the typeface fonts in)
on the heater of the Image Press.
Important! Do not touch the heater when
putting the frame - DANGER OF BURN!
4. Wait for 1-2 minutes until the typeface
fonts are hot.
PREPARING THE MATRIX
You can order a special, customized matrix (O.Matrix) from OPUS, made according to your own
design. You can also use your own matrix, however, in this case you need to use also a spe-
cial glue (O•Matrix GLUE) and a plate (O.Matrix Base GP).
Important! The available stamping area of the matrix is max. 13 cm2.
A. O.Matrix (customized matrixes ordered in OPUS)
1. Put the O.Matrix into a special frame (O.FRAME MATRIX GP - depending on matrix size).
2. Insert the frame onto the heater and wait until the matrix is hot.
B. Customer’s matrix
1. Glue the matrix to O.Matrix Base GP plate using O•Matrix GLUE.
2. Put bounded set into a special frame (O.FRAME MATRIX GP).
3. Insert the frame onto the heater and wait until the matrix is hot.
Note! Before gluing the matrix, make sure that the inscription / logo on the matrix is
parallel to the bottom edge of the plate (O.Matrix Base GP).
Note! Detailed instructions for gluing the matrix are with O•Matrix Base GP plate.

vary from few to tens of minutes. Therefore it is necessary to
conduct a test to check if the matrix is hot enough.
HOT STAMPING ON COVERS
1. Put the front cover into the binding slot.
Make sure it is placed upside down.
2. Put the piece of hot stamping foil between
the cover and the frame.
Note! Use the magnet to fix the foil to the
Image Press and avoid slipping down of the
foil.
3. Move the adjusting lever (2) to the right
(until you feel the resistance) holding the cover at the same time.
4. Press the handle (1) down holding the cover at the same time.
5. Lift the handle (1), move the lever (2) to the left.
6. Take the cover out of the binding slot, take off the foil.
Note! If hot stamping is uneven you can adjust the heater ver-
tical or horizontal. To do this, use Allen key - size 2.
a) Horizontal heater inclination adjustment - if the pressure is big-
ger on the right side, the screw need to be rotated to the left
(see the picture). However, If the pressure is bigger on the left
side, the screw need to be rotated to the right
b) Vertical heater inclination adjustment - if the pressure is big-
ger in the upper side, the screw need to be rotated in to the
right side (see the picture). However, if the pressure is bigger
on the bottom side, the screw need to be rotated to the left

Note! Before sticking the matrix, make sure that the inscrip-
tion/logo on the matrix is parallel to the bottom edge of the
plate (O.Matrix Base GP)
3. Put the base with a matrix on it into O.Frame Matrix GP.
Note! In case of customized matrixes only O.Frame Matrix GP
can be used.
4. Put the frame on the back wall of the Image Press
Note! The heating time of a matrix depends on its size and can
vary from few to tens of minutes. Therefore it is necessary to
conduct a test to check if the matrix is hot enough.
HOT STAMPING ON COVERS
1. Put the front cover into the binding slot.
Make sure it is placed upside down.
2. Put the piece of hot stamping foil between
the cover and the frame.
Note! Use the magnet to fix the foil to the
Image Press and avoid slipping down of the
foil.
3. Move the adjusting lever (2) to the right
(until you feel the resistance) holding the cover at the same time.
4. Press the handle (1) down holding the cover at the same time.
5. Lift the handle (1), move the lever (2) to the left.
6. Take the cover out of the binding slot, take off the foil.
Note! If hot stamping is uneven you can adjust the heater ver-
tical or horizontal. To do this, use Allen key - size 2.
a) Horizontal heater inclination adjustment - if the pressure is big-
ger on the right side, the screw need to be rotated to the left
(see the picture). However, If the pressure is bigger on the left
side, the screw need to be rotated to the right
b) Vertical heater inclination adjustment - if the pressure is big-
ger in the upper side, the screw need to be rotated in to the
right side (see the picture). However, if the pressure is bigger
on the bottom side, the screw need to be rotated to the left
