| Reviewing The GBC CC2700 Modular Spiral Coil Inserter |
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. http://www.mybinding.com
