• The GBC P110 is a manual Proclick binding machine that was released by GBC as part of their 2008 line of products.
• This machine is designed for small and medium sized offices that are looking to bind a few documents per day using the Proclick binding style.
• The P110 incorporates GBC's new guide right technology to help you ensure that the holes are perfectly centered on your documents with every punch.
• This machine will soon replace the older GBC P200 Proclick binding machine.

Strengths / Features:

• The P110 includes a medium duty manual punch that is capable of punching up to fifteen sheets of twenty pound paper at a time. It punches nice large round shaped holes that help to provide a stylish look for your documents and make using this machine with Proclick spines fairly easy. The punching handle on this machine is ergonomically designed and is great for both left and right handed individuals.
• This machine uses GBC's new guide right technology. This technology uses a sliding document tray to help you square up your documents and ensure that they are fully loaded into the punch. Using the guide right system should help eliminate costly mispunches and makes it unnecessary to set up the machine for punching your documents or covers. The system will even center oversize covers for punching.
• On the top of the P110 there is a set of hooks that are designed to hold your Proclick spines while you are working on binding your documents. You simply use the hooks to hold your Proclick spine in place and hang the pages of your document on the spine as you finish punching them. This is a great feature and it definitely makes binding documents with Proclick a lot easier.
• Documents bound with this binding system are designed to quickly and easily be edited. Each box of Proclick binding spines includes a convenient zipper tool to help you open and close the spines of your documents. This makes this binding style ideal for sales representatives and mobile personnel that may need to edit their documents in the field at a moments notice.

Weaknesses / Limitations:

• The sizes of documents that can be bound with Proclick are fairly limited. In fact, Proclick spines are only available in three sizes and four colors. They come in small (5/16"), medium (1/2") and large (5/8"). As for colors, you can choose from Black, Navy Blue, White and Frost. If these sizes and colors don't fit your needs it is always possible to use this machine with 3:1 pitch spiral coil which comes in over sixty colors and almost twenty sizes. However, 3:1 pitch spiral coil needs to be special ordered and in order to use it effectively with this system you will also need to invest in a pair of spiral coil crimping pliers.
• This machine is designed for binding letter sized documents on the 11" side. Currently that is the only way that Proclick binding spines are available. Users who need to bind landscape documents, half letter sized paper or longer sheet sizes will find that this machine will not meet their needs. The P110 can punch 8.5" x 11" sheets and oversized covers (8.75" x 11.25"). Using it to punch any other sizes is not recommended.
• Although the punching capacity of this machine is decent, it is important to remember that the P110 is still a manual binding punch. It is really ideal for small offices and home offices that need to bind up to twenty documents per week. Larger volume users will probably benefit considerably from the electric punching mechanism that is offered by the P210E.

Recommendation:

• The New GBC P110 is an excellent machine for a small office or home office that needs to bind a few documents per day.
• It offers a decent quality manual punch, a Proclick spine holder and the new GBC guide right technology to help prevent mispunches.
• However, before your organization purchases this machine it is important to make sure that the Proclick binding style will be able to bind the sizes and thicknesses that you need.
• If you do decide that Proclick is a good option for you then this machine will probably be a great fit within your organization.
