Carbon Steel DIN 3570
Office machine manufacturing giant GBC recently released a new addition to their popular series of plastic comb binding machines: the CombBind C20. This new product is set to replace the old C110, but does it have what it takes to be a success? Let's take a look at this device and see how it rates on a scale of 1 to 10.
- The C20's punching and binding capacities are greatly improved over those of the C110. While the C110 could punch only 15 sheets and bind up to 300, the C20 can punch 20 and bind 320. With a higher punching capacity, this device will help you get those pages punched much more quickly so you can complete your project in a lot less time. Plus, this device has a vertical punch so your pages will be properly aligned when you process them.
- This machine is compatible with letter-sized paper (8.5 x 11) and oversized covers. However, it lacks an open throat and disengageable dies so you won't be able to use different sizes of paper when putting together your documents.
- The C20 is remarkably easy to use. If you've never used a comb binding machine before, it will be a snap because all of the instructions are right on the machine. There's even a color-coded spine selector guide to help you choose the right comb for your work. When it comes time to bind your document, the quick-load comb fingers will make it easy for your to thread the spine through your document.
- If you notice the machine sticking to your work surface, don't be alarmed. It's just because the device has suction cups on the bottom of it to prevent it from moving during use. Also, there's a chip tray located near the bottom of device. The tray is easy to remove so disposing of your chips won't be a problem.
- This device's handle is ergonomically friendly and it's D-shaped so right- and left-handed people can both use it with ease.
- The C20 is one of GBC's best-looking machines. The color-coded spine selector adds a splash of brightness to this device's black exterior and it's really quite aesthetically pleasing. Plus, this product isn't too big. Its approximate measurements are 22 (width) x 9 (height) x 19 (depth) so it's good for smaller work areas. Overall, its looks far outshine those of the clunky C110.
- If you want a high-quality machine but don't want to spend a lot of money, Stainless steel U-Bolts the C20 would be a great choice. It's available for less than $230.00 and it comes with a one-year warranty.
Final rating: 9. The GBC CombBinding C20 is definitely a great new product. It's a huge improvement over the C110 and it would be a terrific choice if you need a new comb binding machine. This device is easy to use, looks fantastic, and it has enough special features to make it stand out such as the ergonomically friendly handle. If all of this appeals to you, take a look at the C20 today.
