The A500pro is strictly a heavy duty professional trimmer that uses Nike Blazer SB,high quality round cutting blades. If you need these other features, you will need to find another unit.

The machine comes with one cutting mat but in the process the cutting mat will become worn and the cutter will become less effective. It is important to change the cutting mat on a regular basis in order to ensure that the cut quality is maintained.

  • This small rotary trimmer is designed specifically for use in creating craft projects, scrapbooks , photos, labels, Nike Blazer High,greeting cards and other personal short run documents.
  • Known as either the GBC Accucut A200 or the SmartCut A200, this review will take a look at the features, strengths, weaknesses and limitations of the A200 dial-a-blade trimmer.

Features / Strengths:

  • The Smartcut A200 paper trimmer has a convenient and simple to use Dial-A-Blade mechanism. This allows users to simply turn the dial on the machine and choose one of three different cutting blades. Out of the box, the A200 comes with a wave, straight cut and score blade mechanism. However, an optional dial-a-blade mechanism is available that includes a perforator, straight cut and score blade (part number 1312PB).
  • The Accucut A200 is designed for trimming documents up to 12" long and thus can be used with scrapbook papers and standard 8.5" x 11" sheets. It is rated to cut up to 5 sheets of paper at a time. However, it really does best when cutting just a few sheets of paper and is only designed to score or perforate on sheet of paper at time.
  • The A200 has a nice transparent ruler that sets on top of the paper as you are cutting it. This ruler along with helpful grid lines on the cutting base of the unit are extremely helpful for Nike Blazer Shoes,getting your paper aligned on the cutter so that you can get straight clean cuts.

Weaknesses / Limitations:

  • The A200 is made entirely of plastic (with the exception of the metal cutting blades) and is really meant as a personal cutting device. The cutter is great for occasional use but the plastic parts will most likely break if it were used heavily.
  • The blades for the A200 Smartcut paper cutter come as a single unit. This means that you need to replace the entire unit if you wear out any one of the three cutting blades. This is something that is important to remember since the dial-a-blade cutting units can be a little bit pricey as compared to the original cost of the cutter.
  • The cutting base of the A200 rotary trimmer is small. Although the blade travels along an 12" path the cutter base is only about 6" wide. This makes aligning larger sheets of paper much more difficult than it would be on a cutter with a wider cutting base since you can't align the back edge of the paper with the grid lines provided on the cutter.

The AP2 ultra does have some limitations

  • The AP2 ultra does have some limitations on the type of sheets that it can punch. Although its ability to run heavy and glossy stocks has been improved it will still have difficulty feeding laminated or coated sheets. Additionally, it is not recommended to run clear covers or Nike Shox Rival,plastic covers through this machine. Plastic covers will stick together and have the potential to cause problems with the punching mechanism. If you were to try and run poly covers through the AP2-Ultra you would want to make sure that they are collated into your documents. Most print shops will need a desktop punching unit in addition to this machine so that they can handle small runs, odd sizes and sheets that will not Nike Cortez Shoes,run through this machine.
  • There are a huge variety of die sets available for the AP2 Ultra. You can use this machine to punch holes for spiral coil binding, comb binding, twin loop wire, Velobind, Proclick and 3-Ring binders. However, the die sets can be a little bit tricky to change and the changeover can take a few minutes. This makes the AP2 Ultra a great solution for longer runs or short runs with the same punching pattern. However, if you have to constantly change the die on this machine for short run punching it is quite possible you will spend more time on the die changes than you will actually punching your documents.
  • This machine is somewhat limited in the size of sheets that it can punch. The smallest sheet size that it can handle is 5.5" x 5.5" and the largest that it can handle is 12" x 13". This means that the AP2 cannot be used to punch documents for legal sized binding. A standard desktop binding machine will have to be used for this application.
  • There are a lot of moving parts inside the AP2-Ultra. Although this is a reliable machine it is advisable to look into putting this type of equipment under a maintenance contract. That way you know that you are covered if something were to happen to the machine. This is especially true for organizations that use their automatic punch on a daily basis and can't afford to be down for extended periods of time.

Recommendation:

  • If your organization has the volume to warrant the cost, the AP2 Ultra is an excellent automatic binding punch.
  • This system is capable of punching a huge amount of paper per hour and can free up labor inside of your organization to focus on other highly profitable tasks.
  • However, there are some paper types and document sizes that are not compatible with this machine. Most print shops, binderies and in-plant printers use this type of machine for their volume Nike Shox TL3,punching applications and still use a desktop interchangeable die punch for short runs, clear covers and laminated sheets.

The AP2 Ultra is a high quality heavy duty

  • The AP2 Ultra is a high quality heavy duty automatic binding punch that is designed for the highest volume punching environments.
  • This machine is designed for users who do a lot of punching and want the ability to set a stack of paper on their MBT Tembea,machine and walk away.
  • The AP2 is designed to be fast, versatile and easy to use. It is a popular choice for larger print shops, binderies, in-plant printers and copy shops.
  • Although this machine comes with a fairly hefty price tag, most organizations that do a high volume of punching find that they are able to recoup their investment in less than two years.

Strengths / Features:

  • The AP2 Ultra is an incredibly fast punch. It is capable of punching up to 56,000 sheets of paper an hour and averages 40,000 sheets per hour for most applications. This means that the AP2 can punch as many as 80 reams of paper in one hour of operation. This means that even large punching jobs that would normally take hours on a desktop punch can be completed in minutes with the AP2.
  • This punch is also really easy to use. All you need to do is load a large stack of paper into the top of the machine, press the button and a few minutes later the stack will be punched. The machine does it all and the operator is able to work on other tasks while the AP2 is punching. There is an LCD display panel on the front of the machine that tells you the status of the machine and there are a few different adjustments. However, this machine isn't really complicated.
  • Another strength of the AP2ultra is MBT Tataga,its relatively small footprint. It is no secret that most print shops and production environments are short on floor space. The AP2 measures 25" x 53" x 34" which is significantly smaller than most other automatic punching solutions. Plus, it is mounted on wheels with castors to allow it to easily be pushed out of the way when it is not in use.
  • The AP2 Ultra is an upgraded version of the old AP2. This version has been retrofitted with new components and feed mechanisms for handling heavier stocks and glossy papers. This is still not the ideal solution for extremely hard to run sheets. However, the new design MBT Sini,allows it to run most common uncoated paper stocks that are part of a normal print environment.
