Paper Handling: Paper Output/Finishing
WHAT WE LIKED:
• Extensive finishing options offer front office buyers a
wealth of inline finishing capabilities, plus easy one step
production ready for offline bindery.
• The inline GBC StreamPunch III option offers a great
way to reduce printing footprint and costs versus a dedi-
cated offline punch unit.
• The dual 200-sheet cover inserter allows pre-printed ma-
terials such as color covers, delicate materials, and other
sources into a document. This bypasses the high tem-
perature fusing unit. The added ability to incorporate
these preprinted stocks anywhere in the document
(versus being limited to covers only as found on some
rival units) further extends the range of documents that
the device offers users, in contrast to rival devices.
• The Z-fold option allows ledger-sized documents to be
folded and bound into a letter-sized document in a flush
format. This is a useful feature that allows documents
that incorporate financial spreadsheets, engineering
plans, maps and large scale diagrams, schematics, etc.,
to be included within a bound letter sized document
workflow.
• The ability to create saddle-stitch documents from letter/
legal and ledger paper stocks sets this device apart from
some competitors who are limited to letter and ledger
and omit legal media sizes, which is a weakness in verti-
cal sectors such as education and religious institutions
who create a lot of the larger legal-sized booklets rather
than pay the double click for ledger.
WHAT WE WOULD LIKE TO SEE:
• If the finishing unit was able to independently process
printed materials from other printing devices in the office
such as color desktop printers (using the post process
insertion unit as the input feed source), users would get
more mileage out of their investment. This is a feature
offered on several rival devices.
• There should be a more versatile folding option that
could create tri-fold documents for insertion into C10
mailing envelopes or a gatefold for the production of bro-
chures and other marketing materials.
• An inline perfect binding solution allows users to create
on-demand manuals, school resource books, govern-
ment reports, and other large documents.
