Progressive creasing

Creasing in the same position on each page makes a thick book (manual, photobook) hard to open fully without breaking the spine, and makes saddle-stitched booklets difficult to fold and trim. With Progressive, each sheet is creased in a slightly different position – the book lays flat and opens easily, and booklets form a "V" shape with a square back.
