I remember a customer that came to us last year after investing thousands into a \u201cdo it all\u201d mega printer and copier. It was a school in Indianapolis who quickly realized that their \u201cdo it all\u201d printer and copier couldn\u2019t bind, laminate, cut the paper down, create mail outs, shred or really do much of anything other than copy and collate.<\/p>\n

This school had close to a thousand students, so when information went home that meant a thousand mailing packages had to be put together \u2013 that\u2019s a thousand sheets of paper to fold, a thousand reply cards to insert and a thousand envelopes to assemble and seal. And though their super printer could do a simple tri-fold, it couldn\u2019t assemble packages or seal them for mailing, mean monthly mail out time and a monthly assembly line for administrative staff.<\/p>\n

LoI to the Rescue<\/h3>\n

We (the Lloyds of Indiana crew) helped set them up with a basic, but efficient tabletop document folder that could make different custom folds and the FD 6100 inserter<\/a> that can insert two sheets and a return envelope into an envelope for mailing and then seal it. And while it wasn\u2019t an \u201call-in-one\u201d solution, it was a solution that actually worked.<\/p>\n

On top of their mail-out problems, they were also having trouble creating booklets and binders. While their super printer claimed it could collate and bind, it could actually only staple together a limited number of sheets. It wasn\u2019t adequate for printing readings or school publications.<\/p>\n

So, we set them up with a Unibind\u00a0Binding Machine<\/a>, which is able to tackle larger jobs while creating a seamless, professional finish (perfect binding is adhesive-based and similar to paperback books) and a simple-to-use coil-binding system for smaller booklets. Again, it wasn\u2019t part of an \u201call-in-one\u201d or \u201cdo it all\u201d solution, but it worked.<\/p>\n

Something to Think About<\/h3>\n

Think about it this way \u2013 you can buy a machine that does many things poorly, or you can buy equipment that does the jobs you need to be done well. And while a high-quality and high-capacity printer is necessary for many businesses and institutions, so are all the little pieces of equipment involved in the document finishing the process.<\/p>\n
