It should come as no surprise that Fellowes, the maker of high quality laminators and paper shredders, has produced another superb office machine. This time it s the Galaxy E electric plastic comb binding machine. This is a binding machine that s great for large offices that bind a lot of documents, although it s not recommended for industrial level use. The Galaxy E has some cool features that really enhance the binding experience, which will be discussed below. To find out everything you ve ever wanted to know about the Galaxy E comb binding machine, keep on reading.
The Galaxy E is an electric plastic comb binding machine that can punch up to 25 pages per lift. It can also bind documents that are up to 500 pages long. Since the Galaxy E is an electric machine and not a manual one, to use it, all you need to do is line your document up for punching and/or binding and press a button on the right side of the machine. Like other Fellowes binding machines, such as the Quasar 130, the Galaxy E has a vertical document loading area that helps you accurately align your document for the binding process. Also, the Galaxy E has semi adjustable disengageable pins and an adjustable margin control so you can create books that are size A4, as well as letter size and half size.
There are some other features that make the Galaxy E an exceptional machine, such as its removable comb opener. When you have a removable comb opener, one person can punch and another can bind, which means you ll greatly boost your productivity. The Galaxy E also has a storage tray for your binding combs, as well as a document sizing guide so you can be sure to pick the right size comb for your binding project. The machine s front access waste compartment allows for quick, clean emptying of the chip tray. And as with their other machines, Fellowes has included a binding starter pack that contains combs and covers to help you get binding as soon as you get your machine.
The Galaxy E, while a top notch binding machine, does have a few drawbacks. Despite its great punching and binding capacity, the Galaxy E isn t really ideal for industrial type punching and binding. This machine is meant for use in offices that need a reliable binding machine. Print shops, binderies and in plant facilities will need to consider a higher volume machine such as the GBC CombBind C800pro. Also, while the Galaxy E s pins allow for three different sizes of books, you d need a binding machine with fully disengageable dies to create custom sized documents. Considering the price point of the Galaxy E (approximately $500.00), it s a bit surprising that Fellowes didn t just go ahead and give the machine fully disengageable pins. It would have made a great machine just about perfect.
Overall, the Galaxy E is an electric plastic comb binding machine that should please all sorts of users who need such a machine for their office. It s got some great features, an awesome punching capacity, and it carries the esteemed Fellowes name. Plus, it comes with the binding starter pack. How awesome is that?
