Abstract
A method of binding a stack of printed sheets includes the step of consecutively conveying the sheets through an adhesive application station. One part of a two-part adhesive is applied to one side of each sheet and another part of the two-part adhesive is applied to an opposite side of each sheet at the adhesive application station. The sheets are stacked in alignment on a support tray. The sheets are then pressed together to activate the two-part adhesive.
