When it comes to thermal binding machines one
of the most common questions that I am asked by customers concerns the
differences between the BindIt Perfectbind binding machine and the
BindIt Perfectbind II binding machine. Many customers notice that the
BindIt Perfectbind binding machine is actually priced higher than the
Perfect Bind II binding machine and wonder if the PerfectBind binding
machine is worth the additional $100. To answer that question, here is
a quick comparison of the two binding machines:
Both
binding machines will handle documents that are up to 12" in width and
up to 1" thick. Additionally, they both allow you to bind multiple
documents at the same time provided that they are less than a total of
1" thick.
Both binding machines have built in timers to
let you know when your documents are ready, built in cooling racks and
feature a 1 year limited warranty.
The Bindit Perfect
Bind binding machine does not require a warm up cycle before binding
the first document. You simply insert your first document turn on the
binding machine and it will be ready in approximately 45 seconds.
Alternatively, the Bindit Perfect Bind II binding machine does require
the machine to warm up before the first document can be bound. This
adds an additional 2-3 minutes to time that it takes to bind the first
document.
The Bindit Pefect Bind II binding machine come
equipped with the ability to choose between two different temperature
settings. The high temperature setting is designed to assist in binding
hard cover books. The Bindit Perfect Bind binding machine does not come
equipped with the ability to change the binding temperature. This means
that if you want to book bind hard cover books you will be required to
run your books through multiple binding cycles.
In reading the list above you will notice that the two binding machines
are very similar and that the Perfect Bind II binding machine actually
comes with a feature not included on the Perfect Bind binding machine.
For most of my customers, I recommend the Perfect Bind II binding
machine. However, some customers who do not bind a large number of
documents and who do not anticipate book binding hardcover books choose
the PerfectBind binding machine for its increased speed. Both are great
binding machines, and really, the choice is yours.
