If you want two horizontal creases in the paper, the machine will do it for you. These creases are referred to by different names depending on where they occur, such as "letter fold" and "z fold," but in reality they are You didn't explain in enough detail how you wanted the finished product to look - I wasn't able to understand what you wanted exactly. When there are only two creases to do, it can be done by the machine.
Thanks for visiting! The friction fed folding machines won't be able to fold glossy, coated papers. With semi gloss, it can look great! The weight of the paper has a great deal to do with the speed. For the 1217a to be able to determine its capabilities, please provide the paper weight. Thank

As of now, this folder has been in use for several weeks and some triage has been conducted It is used to fold jobs. This has been a very successful project for us. The folding wasn't perfect since the surface of the glossy paper caused some slippage in the machine, so the folds are skewed. I have tested it on a glossy text weight stock and have gotten the same results as others have reported. There's a possibility that glossy stock will work with a little adjustment in the settings, but only if the amount of skew is not consistently off. In the event that it is random, it will not As far as build quality goes, the folder appears to be pretty decent for a machine of this price. The product should last for quite a few years with moderate to light use. Be sure to keep the rollers clean, especially. Make sure you follow the factory instructions on how to keep your The exploded view drawing helped me better comprehend how the machine was set up, but I still needed to study the setup for the setup to be successful. Instructions written in the instructions were unclear in every way.
I'm very happy with the item. It arrived on time and in very good I found the installation process to be very simple, and the instructions illustrated clearly. Although it feels heavy, it is not as heavy as their Mark VII pro Series machine. Perf and score will be done by the other model, while the 1217A does not. Although one has to be careful with one thing, the manual claims it can do a three fold however, it can not. During my attempts to do the task, the paper remained stuck in the machine and was hard Only two folding inserts are available, so a sheet can only be folded twice with a single pass, and
If you are not using this machine full time every day, then it's a good little machine. I would recommend the Mark VII that has fewer plastic parts for a more durable unit.
As this machine is of the tank type, I have high hopes that it will last a very long time. To anyone purchasing the folder, I strongly suggest that they carefully read the instructions. There are times, however, when they seem a little vague. Based on my experience with a similar model 15 years ago, I made a few assumptions to start with. There is a fuss with it. The settings should be done precisely in every case. A multiple sheet feed can be very difficult to clear, so make sure you read the loading instructions very carefully. More than 20 items can not be placed on the folding table. It's possible that some of my wonky folds are caused by the paper I'm using, 11x17. I have received it in a timely manner and it is well-made.
Printing for commercial purposes is not allowed. This Martin is a new purchase for me I bought this from Amazon as a return that was at a very good price. It came in pieces, but was very quick and easy to put together if you know what you're doing. I really like it! Based on what I can tell, it is not intended for use with commercial printers and is for "light usage. ".
In the event of the closing of our local printer, our company purchased this item for folding newsletters. It is difficult to set up, so I would have given it a 5 out of 5. Folding the paper without it skewing takes some patience to make sure the guides are in the right place. As soon as you set it up, it works just fine. Our goal is to not move the guides once we have set them. It's a nice size for a small company, and once the guides are set up, it works great.
There are no issues with this folder. The machine does not have any problems handling bulkier stocks and large formats. Getting everything squared up can be a bit tricky at first, but once you get the hang of it, folding will be quick and.
As a result, I am very satisfied with this folder I purchased for my office. I would like to offer a piece of advice It is vital to make sure the people who will use this machine are well apprised of its proper usage.
A lovely product that is a valuable addition to any company whether it is small or large. This product is recommended by Hadassah Graphics!.
