DFG E Titan Comb Heavy Duty Electric Plastic Comb Binding Machine Review

April 6, 2008 |

The DFG E-Titan Comb is a
heavy duty plastic comb binding machine that is designed for
organizations that need a durable and reliable binding system.When designing the E Titan
Comb, DFG (Document Finishing Group) attempted to make the highest
quality electric comb binding machine available on the market. This
review is designed to take a look and see what they have come up with.

Overview:

  • The DFG E-Titan Comb is a
    heavy duty plastic comb binding machine that is designed for
    organizations that need a durable and reliable binding system.
  • With
    a heavy duty electric punch, depth of punch margin control, foot pedal
    switch, fully disengageable dies and a heavy duty metal comb opener,
    the E Titan Comb is one of the most feature rich comb binding machines
    available on the market today.
  • When designing the E Titan
    Comb, DFG (Document Finishing Group) attempted to make the highest
    quality electric comb binding machine available on the market. This
    review is designed to take a look and see what they have come up with.

Strengths / Features:

  • The
    E-Titan comb has one of the strongest electric punches available on the
    market. It can punch up to 28 sheets per lift which is more than either
    the GBC C800pro or the Akiles CombMac 24E. The excellent punching
    capacity offered by the E Titan comb makes it a great choice for users
    who need a high productivity desktop binding solution.
  • This
    machine also includes 21 fully disengageable dies for punching letter
    sized, A4 size and smaller sheet sizes. Plus, the open throat on this
    machine allows for punching larger documents with a two step process.
  • The
    E Titan Comb also includes a depth of punch margin control that allows
    users to adjust the distance of the holes from the edge of the paper.
    This feature allows for binding extremely thin documents and thick
    documents with up to 425 sheets of 20lb paper.
  • This machine
    uses a foot pedal control to activate the punch. This allows users to
    hold their pages with both hands while punching. This helps to reduce
    mispunches and to increase productivity.

Weaknesses / Limitations:

  • The
    E-Titan Comb only has an 11 inch punching throat and comb opener. This
    is great for punching letter sized documents but makes binding larger
    documents very difficult. Organizations that need to bind legal sized
    documents might want to consider a true legal sized binding machine
    such as the Akiles Combmac 24E.
  • The E-Titan Comb is still
    relatively new to the market and is somewhat unproven. It does come
    with a one year warranty which is standard for this type of machine.
    However, Document Finishing Group is still new to the industry and only
    time will tell how reliable their machines will be over a period of
    several years.

Recommendation:

  • For
    users that are looking for a heavy duty electric binding machine and
    don’t anticipate the need to ever bind legal sized documents, the
    E-Titan Comb binding machine is an excellent choice.
  • It
    includes a great set of features including: heavy duty meta
    construction, an excellent punching capacity, fully disengageable dies,
    a depth of punch margin control and a heavy duty plastic comb opener.
  • However , users who need to bind legal sized documents may want to select an electric punch with a 14 inch throat.
  • The
    only other potential downside to this binding machine is that it is
    still somewhat unproven in the marketplace. It appears to be durable
    enough but it hasn’t been on the market long enough to know if it has
    any flaws or defects.
