Tamerica is releasing new binding machines this
spring and some of them are simply terrific. Their coil binding device,
the OfficePro-46E, is one of the best for many reasons. It's packed with
great features that are user-friendly and make it a pleasure to use.
Let's take a look at this device's numerous strengths - and the one
weakness that isn't really that big of a deal.
Strengths:
The OfficePro-46E is like many of the other new
machines from Tamerica in that it has a terrific punching capacity. The
electric punch can handle up to 20 sheets at a time so you can start
binding your documents in very little time.
This machine has disengageable dies so it's
possible to assemble both larger and smaller books. The maximum punching
length is 11.7" which is ideal for letter- and A4-sized paper. There
are 46 dies in total.
The OfficePro-46E is compatible with 3:1 pitch
color coil binding implements. Color coils come in dozens of colors
ranging from pastels to bright neon shades. Since so many colors are
available, it will be easy to find one that suits your document.
This device has a built-in coil inserter so
assembling your documents is really easy. You won't have to insert the
coils manually which can take up a lot of time.
Durability is an important feature to look for when
selecting a coil binding machine. Luckily, the Office-46E is incredibly
durable because it has metal parts. You can get a lot of use out of
this machine and it should last a long time.
One surprising thing about this device is that it's
actually compact. It only measures about 18" x 11" x 19" so you could
even place it on a desk if you want. That makes using it really
convenient and it means you don't need to make a lot of room for it.
Finally, the OfficePro-46E comes with a one-year
warranty. You probably won't need to use it, but an excellent warranty
is always nice to have.
Weaknesses:
Color coils are available in sizes up to 50
millimeters and can bind work that's up to 440 pages long. However, the
OfficePro-46E can only accommodate coils that are up to 25 mm thick.
That means your work can only contain up to 220 pages. Keep that in mind
if you produce a lot of lengthy documents.
Although the Tamerica OfficePro-46E is only compatible with coils that
are up to 25 mm thick, it's pretty amazing that it doesn't have any more
weaknesses. In fact, this is one of the best coil binding machines
currently available. The punching capacity is great, the machine has
disengageable dies, and it's also really durable. The coil inserter is
easy to use and the device won't take up too much room in your
workspace. Even the warranty is good. All together, the OfficePro-45E is
a terrific coil binding machine. Give it a try today to see how it can
help you bind your important documents.
