I am looking for a binding machine to make my photo proof books. Would this one work well for that?

It will. However, don't forget that if you'e punching thick photo album pages, you do one a the time. I have had this machine close to two years now and it handled admirably all sorts of misuses and abuses. Really good product.

I love to take pictures, but have not thought about binding them up. I don't know if you are talking about printing the photos on regular paper and putting them into a binder, or if you are using the standard photographic paper.I love to take pictures but I haven't been printing them since before I acquired the binder. I could see perhaps printing the photos and archiving them or even using them to display them. (In fact, this is giving me another idea on how to use the binder.) But this is the best advice I can give at the moment, as I haven't gotten too deeply into all aspects of photography. I love to take pictures, but have not thought about binding them up.

Depends on the book. For textbooks not always. There isn't enough space in the book between the text and the binding so the words on the left get cut off. That or the scanner is slightly too big and wide so the scanner doesn't capture all the text. I would say for most books it's not suitable and you'd be better off with a flat bed book scanner which is much better quality and easier to use but more expensive.

Hi Norma, yes, I would say so. I use this paper for presentations that have photos in them, and they come out very nice. The only thing that I will say, is that the paper is not quite as thick and as photo paper, and not quite as much of a "glassy" look, so if you are okay with those small differences, then I am sure you will be happy with this paper for creating home photo books. I would not use it for printing photos that I was going to frame. Hope that helps! - Larry

Possible I cut through some pretty thick bindings. This thing is a monster heavy duty.

I don't know exactly, but I tried with min 10 sheets. It works well. Binding works like using a hot glue gun. I also used staple to hold better. Not recommended, but I like it. works better

I would use it for that. The machine is super fast, and it's pretty impressive how accurate it is in sizing and framing whatever it is you're scanning. I haven't used it for scanning pictures, but I wouldn't hesitate to start.

It depends on what you want to do. The MP620 is a more specialized machine that is intended primarily for photo printing - but can do document printing. It has a flatbed scanner, and no fax capacity.The MX860 (which I have in my home office) is intended primarily for document printing, but can do pretty decent photo printing. It also has a sheet-fed scanner (up to 35 pages at a time), and a built in fax. Hope that clears things up for you.

It might work, depending on the type of paper used, however, you would be pushing the limits. That, of course, is my opinion. I measured the 'normal' closure of the binder, and it will comfortably hold about 2.25" of content. The binders are very nice and have worked well for my purpose.

These are three ring binders that I used for plastic sleeves for archiving photos. Anything that is 8.5x 11 that is 3-hole punched should work fine.

The tool is good for scanning of pages. Books are not flat enough to scan and I can not recommend it for this purpose.

This is a great labeling machine for paper and plastic. Fabric perhaps not the best choice. It will stick to fabric for a photo yet not lasting for more than that. Good luck.

yes it suffice for what i needed it for. if you are looking for a high resolution, this is not it. its great for scrap books.

I think your personal choice depends on how much you'll be using the machine and the type of documents you'll complete. I use the machine maybe two or three times per year to bind items like cookbooks, family history books and albums for family and friends so the manual model is more than adequate. If you expect to do a lot of binding work frequently, you may want to consider the electric model. You should weigh the cost of the machine against your needs to decide which is better for you.

I use it for film scripts that range from 90 to 120 pages. I have seen these binders hold up to 150 pages but you'll need an extra half inch to properly accommodate 200.

This won't work for pages that need to be glued back to the binding. I've used it to repair torn pages and the outside binding.

No, this machine punches small rectangular holes for comb binders. For spiral binding, you need little round holes for the spiral binders.

After you have used it a bit for certain and depending on how many pages are bound in it. But overall the answer is absolutely. I love it. it is a copy of a binder made by National back in the 60's and the 70's and is great for keeping manuscripts and other material you want to put on your shelf as though it were really bound. I have used many. Just sorry it costs so much; but i still buy them as needed.
