The Galaxy E, while a top-notch binding machine, does have a fewdrawbacks. Despite its great punching and binding capacity, the GalaxyE isn’t really ideal for industrial-type punching and binding. Thismachine is meant for use in offices that need a reliable bindingmachine. Print shops, binderies and in-plant facilities will need toconsider a higher-volume machine such as the GBC CombBind C800pro.Also, while the Galaxy E’s pins allow for three different sizes ofbooks, you’d need a binding machine with fully disengageable dies tocreate custom-sized documents. Considering the price point of theGalaxy E (approximately $500.00), it’s a bit surprising that Fellowesdidn’t just go ahead and give the machine fully disengageable pins. Itwould have made a great machine just about perfect.
