Bought this machine for my print shop company... we print fliers, presentation books, journals and notebooks and more (pretty much anything paper-related, we can do). This machine has been a blessing... it really seems to be a workhorse because I use it every day and it makes the binding process so fast. The electric punching is a huge help and, if you've ever had to use a handle to punch through paper, you should know this is so much easier and takes no effort at all. It's already paid for itself and has been worth every penny. Big fan!
