Comparing The Mbm Auto Book And Its Smaller Counterpart, The Booklet Maker Jr.
MBM is a manufacturer that is primarily known for their paper shredders
, but they also produce some great booklet-making machines that are good for use by professional office workers, print shop employees, teachers, and more. This article will compare and contrast two of the company's devices: the Auto Book and the Booklet Maker Jr. Here's what's similar and different about this machines, as well as some guidance as to which one might be best for you.1.) Paper sizes. The Booklet Maker Jr. is great for working with paper sizes ranging from 8.5" x 11" to 11" x 17". However, the Auto Book can work with a few more sizes, with the smallest being 8.25" x 10" and the largest being 12" x 17".
2.) Stapling capability. The Auto Book definitely wins in this category. It can process 500 sheets per hour and create booklets that contain 60 pages. (Fifteen sheets of paper are needed to a create a book of this size.) This model has two staples that can staple your books in five different ways, as well. Meanwhile, the Booklet Maker Jr. can create books that have 40 pages and it can process 10 sheets at once, or 250 sheets in an hour. It also has two staplers, but it lacks the ability to staple in five different positions.
3.) Automatic and manual features. Both of these units have a few features to make them easier to operate. The Booklet Maker Jr. will automatically center your sheets so your booklets will be crisp, as well as folded and stapled correctly. That's about all the features it offers, though. Meanwhile, the Auto Book has several more features, including the aforementioned five-position stapling capability, an interlocking cover to keep fingers away from the staplers and rollers, and you can choose between manual and automatic operation.
4.) Construction and size. When it comes to construction, both of these devices are in the same league. Each machine has all-metal components so your unit will stay working for as long as possible and not malfunction in the middle of a job. Also, these products are very similar in size (the Booklet Maker Jr. is a few inches smaller), and they won't demand a lot of room due to their somewhat compact design.
5.) Price and warranty. Both of these machines have limited one-year warranties and their prices are in the same ballpark. The Booklet Maker Jr. is priced at around $1,000.00, while the other machine's price is in the neighborhood of $1,200.00.
When it comes right down to it, the Auto Book definitely offers more features for a rather reasonable increase in price. It can produce booklets that contain a full 20 pages more than books made by the Booklet Maker Jr. and it can work with more sizes of paper, as well. So if you can afford it, the Auto Book is definitely the way to go. That is not to say that the Booklet Maker Jr. doesn't have its charms. It's a good entry-level machine for people who need a less expensive (and more basic) device. It all depends on your needs, and hopefully this article has been helpful in helping you choose the best device for you.
