Title: What binding machine should i get
Post by: OverTheRainbow on February 18, 2014, 02:01:28 pm

I'm making calendars from the pics i took. So far i was using Fellowes Star binding machine for that, but last week something's happened with it; it just died on me :(

Now, since I'm forced to get a new machine, I thought that it might be a good idea to consult with someone first. Again, I still prefer comb binding, but I don't know which of the machines to go for. I was wondering if anyone has tried this (http://www.bindingmachinereviews.net/fellowes-quasar-e-500-comb-binding-machine-review/) machine and what could you tell me about it.

I've got a couple of them.   For small jobs, this is OK.....

Used (they don't wear out) on EBAY... $20 to $75...

I also have one of these....

EBAY  $300 to $400.   When you need to do a lot, this will punch as fast as you can put the paper in....
