Paste-off vs Edge-Line
What's the Difference?
Paste-off KJV Lion - top
Edge-line KJV Lion - bottom
Similarities:
Premium Meritian Goatskin leather
Three 10mm ribbons
36gsm or 32gsm premium paper
Text Block (inside layout)
Perimeter stitching
Smyth-sewn book-block
Difference:
Our paste-off on the left has an art-gilt which means that there is a dye that is visible under the gold. Different colors have different dyes under the gold gilt. The edge-line on the right has a fore-edge lion design on the gilt.
Difference:
The paste-off on the left has a synthetic liner that is pasted onto the leather cover, versus the edge-line that has a leather liner that is stitched under the cover.
Difference:
Our paste-off on the left continues the synthetic liner toward the end-sheet. The edge-line has a “leather hinge” that is called an "edge-line."
Difference:
Our paste-off on the top has a more traditional design with debossed sections. The edge-line on the bottom has raised hubs with a minimalistic design.
