Among its many positive features, the GBC CC2700 comes standard with coil crimping pliers, and a holder for the pliers for maximum convenience. The holder is a great idea, because it helps you keep track of the pliers when not in use, and assures you that they will be readily available when you do need them. The crimping pliers are necessary for finishing binding in the most optimal and professional-looking way.

Another handy feature of the CC2700 is the spine former. Located on top of the machine, it is perfect for forming documents up to 35mm in thickness. - great for anyone producing larger books. But the features don't' end there, the CC2700 also boasts an adjustable bottom roller prefect for using coil of bigger diameters. With this handy feature, you will find it much easier to work with coil of a larger diameter than if you were to choose a coil-inserter with a fix roller. All of these great features add up to one attractive package, making the CC2700 a great possible choice in coil-inserting equipment.

The operating mechanisms of the rollers make a difference in several different production situations. For instance, both of the CC2700, rollers are movable, not stationary. This aids in giving the coil the proper traction, leading to fewer insertion issues. Many inserters of a lower caliber do not have this excellent feature. It's certainly a cost-effective feature that can save money and a great deal of time when binding.

Additionally, the CC2700 coil-inserter includes a top roller that has a larger diameter, helping add friction to the process. Why is friction good? It makes the insertion process much easier, particularly with the convenient foot pedal operation mechanism. This foot pedal mechanism lets you hold the coil and the document without turning off the machine - another great feature to improve efficiency and save money during the production process.

For most larger coils, the CC2700 can really do the job. However, it does have limitations with coils that are larger than 30mm in diameter. For coils this big, a spine forming machine like the HD 4101 may be a better choice, particularly if you use 3:1 or 2.5: 1 pitch coils or even use an oversized oval hole pattern

Built to last, the CC2700 is a part of the premium line of GBC products and can be a prefect addition to any binding system. If you are looking for savings, however, there are some other machines available that have similar attributes with a smaller price tag.

Between the GBC construction and service available, a larger operation would be well served wit the CC2700, particularly if binding is a part of their every day services.

As durable as the CC2700 is, however, it's not without any issues. For instance, the machine's clear drive belts, which run the rollers, may need to be occasionally replaced. This is not a huge issue because the machine's belts and rollers are easy to find and not very expensive. So keep the issue in mind, but it shouldn't become a deal-breaker for you when trying to decide on equipment.
