The MP2000C4 is a 4:1
pitch fixed die modular binding punch that is used for punching
documents that are going to be bound with spiral coil.The MP2000C4 is designed to
be used in conjunction with a modular spiral coil inserter such as the
Akiles Roll @ Coil or the GBC CC2700. The inserter can be neatly
stacked on top of the unit or can be used by a second operator to allow
one user to punch while the other finishes the documents.

Overview:

• The MP2000C4 is a 4:1
  pitch fixed die modular binding punch that is used for punching
  documents that are going to be bound with spiral coil.
• This
  electric punch is designed for users who are looking to help increase
  their productivity by separating the punching and spiral coil inserting
  functions of the binding process.
• The MP2000C4 is designed to
  be used in conjunction with a modular spiral coil inserter such as the
  Akiles Roll @ Coil or the GBC CC2700. The inserter can be neatly
  stacked on top of the unit or can be used by a second operator to allow
  one user to punch while the other finishes the documents.
• This
  machine is ideal for a small to medium sized office that only needs to
  do one style of binding and is looking for a high quality modular
  system to help them improve efficiency.

Strengths / Features:

• The
  MP2000C4 is designed with the office environment in mind. Unlike many
  larger binding punches that tend to look “industrial” this machine
  won’t look out of place in your office. The sleek black exterior with
  silver highlights help to ensure that this machine won’t stand out or
  look obtrusive in your office. The convenient design of this machine
  also allows you to stack your coil inserter on to top of the machine to
  conserve space. Plus, the MP2000-C4 is quiet compared to many pieces of
  binding equipment.
• When GBC designed this machine they
  incorporated a vertical feed punching mechanism. This allows user to
  drop their pages into the punching throat in order to help align the
  sheets for punching. This machine is extremely easy to feed. You simply
  drop your pages into the machine allowing the base of the punching slot
  to make your documents flush. Then you slide the pages against the edge
  guide and you are ready to punch.
• The MP2000C4 offers two
  different punch activators. It has a palm switch button on the front of
  the machine for small run jobs. It also has a foot pedal for larger
  punching applications. It doesn’t really matter which one you use, try
  them both out and determine which one you think is faster for you.
• The
  edge guide on this machine is one of the best designs that I have seen
  on a modular binding punch. It is easy to slide and adjust and can be
  quickly and accurately tightened to help you center the holes on your
  document.

Weaknesses / Limitations:

• The
  punching capacity for this machine is only fourteen sheets per punch.
  This is a little bit low for punch of this quality. For small and
  medium sized users this shouldn’t be a huge issue. However, higher
  volume users and organizations that need to bind large books using
  spiral coil may want to consider a punch with a higher punching
  capacity.
• The MP2000C4 only has two disengageable dies. This
  allows this machine to be used for punching documents with either an
  11″ or 8.5″ binding edge. It can be used to bind 8.5″ x 11″ paper on
  either the short or long side of the document. It can also be used to
  bind half letter sized documents and legal sized documents on the 8.5″
  side of the sheet. However, this machine cannot be used to punch
  oversized covers or other special sizes of paper. This is fairly common
  with many coil binding systems but is something that is important to
  keep in mind.
• It is important to remember that when
  purchasing this system you are only getting a punch. You will still
  need to buy a modular coil inserter and a pair of spiral coil crimping
  pliers. A coil inserter is used to help spin the coil onto the edge of
  your document. The coil crimping pliers are used to crimp the end of
  your binding elements so that the coils don’t spin back off your bound
  presentations.
• The MP2000C4 is a fixed die modular binding
  punch. This means that it can only punch one hole pattern.
  Organizations that do more than one type of binding may want to look at
  an interchangeable die modular punch that is capable of more than one
  type of punching. An interchangeable die punch will offer increased
  productivity, faster punching times and of course the ability to punch
  different hole patterns.

Recommendation:

• The
  MP2000C4 is an excellent machine for small and medium sized offices
  that are looking to help increase productivity when binding documents
  with spiral coil.
• It is a great choice for organizations that
  are simply tired of punching documents by hand and want to help speed
  up the coil binding process.
• However, this system is limited
  in the sizes of books that it can punch and in the number of pages that
  it can punch at a time. High volume users and large corporations may
  want to consider a larger unit that offers more flexibility and
  productivity.
• Additionally , this machine can only punch one
  type of hole pattern. If your organization does more than one type of
  binding or frequently needs to punch documents with 3-hole or 2-hole
  patterns you might want to look at the GBC MP2500ix.
