Overview:
Modular spiral coil inserter that is designed to quickly assist in spinning color coil onto your documents.
Part of the GBC line of modular equipment. It is designed to stack on top of the MP2500ix, MP2000C4 or the Magnapunch.
Can
be used as a stand alone inserter to help increase productivity as part
of an assembly line process. Perfect for getting those large jobs done
fast.
Features / Strengths:
Includes a
set of coil crimping pliers and a convenient holder to hold your
pliers. This way you don't lose them when you aren't using them and
they are always nearby when you need to finish your books.
Includes a spine former on the top of the machine for forming documents up to 35mm thick.
Has
an adjustable bottom roller to accommodate larger diameters of coil.
Many coil inserters use fixed rollers making them very ineffective with
large diameter coil.
With the CC2700 both rollers move
helping to give your coil better traction and to reduce problems with
inserting. This is a feature that many lower end inserters don't offer.
It has a large diameter top roller to help provide better friction when inserting coils.
Uses a convenient foot pedal that allows you to hold the coil and the book without worrying about turning on or off the machine.
Limitations:
It
works better with large sized coils than other inserters but still
doesn't work very well for coils that are larger than 30mm. For coils
this large you need to consider a spine former such as the HD-4101. You
will also get better results with large size coil if you are using an
oversize oval hole pattern or are using 3:1 pitch or 2.5:1 pitch coils.
The
CC2700 comes with the GBC premium brand name. It is a great addition to
an existing GBC binding system. However, for budget conscious shoppers
there are machines available with similar features that cost quite a
bit less money.
Construction:
Heavy
duty metal construction. This machine is built to hold up in high
production environments and is often used by binderies and print shops
with a great deal of success.
There really isn't a lot to go
wrong with this machine. However, the clear drive belts that run the
rollers will sometimes need to be replaced. These belts are simple to
replace and are relatively inexpensive.
Recommendation:
This is one of the highest quality spiral coil inserters available on the market.
A great companion for your GBC modular binding punch.
Ideal for high volume users such as printers, copy shops, binderies and in plant print shops.
Not the cheapest option available on the market but the reliability makes it worthwhile.
