                        ͼ

    "You never get a second chance at a first impression." The first
    time is the one that counts! Using 1st Impression The Desktop
    Bindery that first time will be  MOST impressive.

    Recently, I received a label printer from Avery to review for my
    magazine. Included was a brochure for the Bindery. I liked what I
    saw and received a unit to review.

    The unit is small and lightweight, weighing in at under 4 pounds,
    and having dimensions of 15 1/2" L x 6" W x 7"H. It will bind a
    document of up to 240 sheets. You can also bind multiple documents
    at one time that have a total thickness of more than 1 inch.

    When you turn on the unit a red light comes on. After the warm-up
    period, which is less than a minute, you will hear a beep. This
    tells you the unit is ready to work. You pick a cover for the size
    of your document. Bindery has covers in various sizes that will hold
    from 1-240 pages. Insert your pages in the single-piece cover. Place
    the cover in the Bindery, and in 35 seconds you have a
    professionally bound document. You will hear a series of  beeps to
    signify that your document is done. Place it in the attached cooling
    stand for 60 seconds. While it is cooling you can continue with
    binding other documents.

    The document will flat when opened on a desktop. It makes reading
    and working with the document a pleasure. You do not have to hold it
    in one hand, and try to work with the other hand. You can even add
    or remove pages from a bound document with ease.

    The covers come in a variety of colors. There are 20 covers per
    package. Standard covers are in 8 1/2" x 11," and there are 9" x 11"
    extended covers to accommodate index tabs. First time users may
    prefer the First Pack Starter Kit. This kit contains 70 "Classic"
    covers in a refillable desktop organizer. You get covers of each
    size, except for the 1" covers that are not included.

    I used this unit the first time last month. I received several calls
    commenting on the presentation of my magazine. The contacts I  spoke
    with were impressed with how the magazine was bound. They said it
    looked very professional. I thought so too.

    I am very pleased with this unit and recommend it to everyone who
    binds documents. It will make the presentation of your work stand
    out.
