Powis Parker Fastback Model 15xs Cp Tape Binding Machine Review

Overview:

The Powis Parker Fastback Model 15xs CP is a thermal tape binding machine that is ideal for medium to high volume users, or users who bind thicker documents

Fastback offers users a one step binding process that is exceptionally fast, the FB15xs CP can bind a document in as little as 15 seconds.

The FB15xs CP is a great choice for office environments as it is quite and easy to use. The FB15xs CP also fits into production facilities as it is rugged and exceptionally fast.

Fastback is a unique binding system that does not use a mechanical binding element that can break, and is more environmentally friendly than traditional binding systems as it does not use plastic.

Strengths / Features:

The FB15xs CP binds documents from 2 pages to 350 pages or 1-1/2″. One of the great features of Fastback is that there are only 3 sizes of elements to bind this wide range of documents. This greatly cuts down on cost of inventory, and space needed for inventory.

The FB15xs CP is one of the most versatile systems on the market today. This one system is capable of binding traditional tape bound books (with Superstrips™ and leather-like Composition Strips), hard cover books, perfect bound books, Halfback™ books and note pads.

The FB15xs CP features a unique “smart sensor” that tells the user what size strip to use, and automatically adjusts the bind time for the various types of strips.

With the new CP Strips, users can safely bind calendared paper stocks that other thermal binding systems are not capable of handling.

This system also features an easy to access menu that enables users to make simple adjustments to the bind time, strip end and wrap as well as other custom binding applications.

While most binding systems in its class do not have warranty or only have a 90 day warranty, the 15 has a one year warranty.

Fastback is one of the only systems that offers the speed and economy that production users desire as well as the elegance of a high end Hardbound presentation for more important documents.

Weaknesses / Limitations:

The biggest drawback to the 15 is the 15 minute warm up time. While the machine has an exceptionally fast bind time, the warm up time requires most users to leave it on all day. The 15 will go into a rest mode after several minutes with no activity, to wake it up-users simply need to press any button.

The 15 is a very durable machine, however, it has many more electrical parts than traditional binding systems. While most repairs are simple and fast, as the 15 ages it is subject to slightly more service activity than traditional punch and bind systems. Much like a photocopier it is an excellent idea to purchase a maintenance contract for your Fastback 15xs binding machine.

Fastback is perhaps that fastest system to bind with, but it does require that the book cools before use or shipping. The rule of thumb is to wait for a minute before removing the book from the cooling rack.

The FB15xs CP is not the cheapest binding machine on the market. It is comparable to the larger table top production punches in price. However the cost of this machine may be more than many smaller users would like to spend on a binding machine.

Fastback binding strips are only available in certain lengths. The 15xs is compatible with strips that are 8.5″, 9″, 11″, 14″ and 14-7/8″ long. Not all sizes or colors are available in all of these lengths so you will have to check and see which options that Powis Parker makes. It is possible to bind custom sized documents that are smaller than 14-7/8″ by using a longer strip and then cutting the excess portion of the strip off after the binding process is completed. However, binding documents with a binding edge that is longer than 14-7/8″ is not possible with this system.

Fastback documents offer a secure bind and lay-flat capabilities, but the documents cannot wraparound the spine like a coil or wire bound document.

Recommendation:

The Fastback 15xs-CP is one of the most advanced binding machines on the market and is an excellent choice for accountants, schools, engineers, print shops, advertising agencies, binderies and print on demand applications.

However, the speed and versatility make this machine a great fit for virtually any user.

The 15xs allows users to create a wide variety of documents including hard covers, perfect bound books, and tape bound presentations and proposals.

It is a great fit for companies that are concerned about plastic materials in their documents. Fastback adhesives are all environmentally neutral and will not pollute landfills or water tables with harmful chemicals.

Beyond the Double Bind: Women and Leadership

$58.05

I can remember , says lawyer Flo Kennedy, going to court in pants and the judge remarking that I wasn’t properly dressed, that the next time I came to court I should be dressed like a lawyer . It was a moment painfully familiar to countless women: a demand that she conform to a stereotype of feminine dress and behavior – which would also mark her as an intruder, rising above her assigned station (as the saying goes, she dared to wear the pants in the courtroom). Kennedy took one look at the judge’s robe – essentially a long black dress gathered at the yoke – and said, Judge, if you won’t talk about what I’m wearing, I won’t talk about what you’re wearing . In Beyond the Double Bind, Kathleen Hall Jamieson takes her cue from Kennedy’s comeback to argue that the catch-22 that often blocks women from success can be overcome. Sparking her narrative with potent accounts of the many ways women have beaten the double bind that would seem to damn them no matter what they choose to do, Jamieson provides a rousing and emphatic denouncement of victim feminism and the acceptance of inevitable failure. As she explores society’s interlaced traps and restrictions, she draws on hundreds of interviews with women from all walks of life to show the ways they cut through them. Kennedy, for example, faced the bind that insists that women cannot be both feminine and competent – and then demands that they be feminine first; she undermined that trap with wry wit. Ruth Bader Ginsberg attacked the same quandary head-on: when she heard that her law-school nickname was bitch , she replied, Better bitch than mouse . Jamieson explores the full range of such double binds (the uterus-brain bind, for example – you can’t conceive children and ideas at the same time ; or the assertion, You are too special to be equal ), offering a roadmap for moving past these barricades to advancement. Unlike other breakthrough feminist writers, she finds grounds for optimism in areas ranging from slow improvements in women’s earnings to newly effective legal remedies, from growing social awareness to the determination and skill of individual women who are fighting the double bind. Jamieson is a widely sought-after authority on politics and communications; this book marks a dramatic new departure for her, one certain to win widespread attention. With intensive research and incisive analysis, she provides a landmark account of the binds that ensnare women’s lives – and the ways they can overcome them.
