One of the main limitations of the Proclick Pronto

• One of the main limitations of the Proclick Pronto binding machines is that they are only able to handle letter sized documents. Organizations that use oversized covers with their documents or need to bind documents with a binding edge that is not eleven inches will not be able to use this machine. There really isn't a way around this so it is something to keep in mind.
• The Proclick Pronto P2000 is also limited in the sizes and colors of binding strips that it can use. Currently there are three different sizes of spines for this machine: small (5/16"), medium (1/2") and large (5/8"). This allows you to use this machine to bind up to 100 sheets of 20lb paper. You can choose from four different colors which include: black, navy blue, white and frost. Organizations that need to bind documents larger than 5/8" or need a different colored binding spine will need to select a different binding system.
• Although I already mentioned it, I will state it again. The P2000 does NOT have a binding punch. This machine is strictly a finishing unit and is designed to be used with a modular binding punch. Additionally, the binding punch must have a special Proclick Pronto oversize square hole die set. Currently these die sets are only available for GBC modular punches and I do not believe that Rhino-Tuff or Renz are planning on releasing this dieset for their machines any time soon.
• The supplies for this machine must be purchased in special cartridges in order to be used by this machine. It cannot be used with loose binding spines or any other type of binding supplies. GBC is the only company that makes supplies for this machine and the supplies can be difficult to find at a discount.

Recommendation:

• The Proclick P2000 binding system offers one of the fastest binding experiences available from any binding style on the market.
• Documents bound with this system also look great, offer the ability to completely wrap around and can be easily edited. These things are making Proclick one of the hottest new binding styles in the United States.
• This machine is a great choice for large organizations or print shops that either already own a GBC modular binding punch or can justify the purchase of a new binding punch.
• However, this is not a good system for organizations that need to bind custom sized documents, need custom colored binding spines or for companies who don't own a modular binding punch.
