The Martin Yale Intimus 3800FC AutoPerf Perforator: A Review
Scoring and perforating your documents by hand can be very time-consuming and tiring. Luckily, there are devices such as the Martin Yale Intimus 3800FC AutoPerf Perforator that can help speed up this task so you can attend to other things. Here’s a look at what this product is capable of so you can decide if it’s right for your workplace.
- This machine will perforate and score your documents so you don’t have to do it by hand or order special paper. The 3800FC is great for a variety of items including coupons, checks, greeting cards, newsletters, brochures, bills, and so on.
- The 3800FC is one of the fastest perforators on the market. This machine has variable speeds and when it’s at its fastest, it can process as many as 12,000 letter-sized sheets in just one hour. That’s 24 entire reams of paper. It doesn’t get much faster than that.
- When you use this device, you’ll notice that the paper is fed through the bottom of the machine. This helps speed up the process because the perforator can continually grab sheets.
- This machine can handle different weights of paper. The lightest sheets can be 16 lb. and the heaviest can be 150 lb., which is actually cardstock. The device has a feature that allows you to adjust the depth control so it can adapt to different stocks. As far as paper sizes go, your sheets can be from 3.5” to 22” long and 3.875” to 18” wide. Thus, you’ll be able to process both large and small documents with one device.
- The 3800FC comes with three different wheels. One is a perforating wheel that has 10 teeth and the other two are for scoring your paper. You can purchase additional wheels with various numbers of teeth so you can slit, score, and perforate your work as needed.
- This perforator isn’t exactly small but it’s not too large either. Its dimensions are 36” (length) x 27.5” (depth) x 13.25” (height) so you should be able to find room for it somewhere in your workplace. You might find moving it around to be a bit awkward though because it weighs 85 pounds.
- Martin Yale obviously takes pride in this product because they’ve given it a one-year warranty. The warranty doesn’t extend to wearables (i.e. a perforating wheel) but it’s still pretty generous.
The Martin Yale Intimus 3800FC is a good choice if you need a machine that can help you perforate and score your documents. This machine certainly can process a lot of sheets quickly so it’s perfect if you need to score and/or perforate a lot of paper in a short amount of time. It’s great that it can handle stocks of different thicknesses so you’ll be able to work with an incredible variety of materials. The warranty is also great even if it doesn’t cover the machine’s wearables. All together, the 3800FC is a great perforator, so if you’re in the market for one, take a look at it today.
