The New Martin Yale BM101
booklet making machine is designed as a low cost semi-automatic booklet
maker that is both feature rich and easy to use.The BM101 is simple to set up, easy to operate and produces high quality booklets in just seconds.

Overview:

• The New Martin Yale BM101
  booklet making machine is designed as a low cost semi-automatic booklet
  maker that is both feature rich and easy to use.
• It allows users to create booklets that are forty pages in length from ten, twenty pound bond sheets of paper.
• The BM101 is simple to set up, easy to operate and produces high quality booklets in just seconds.

Strengths / Features:

• The
  most impressive feature of the BM101 is its price. There are certainly
  more powerful and easier to use booklet makers available on the market.
  However, most of these machines cost two or three times more than the
  BM101. With a selling price of around $700, this is the least expensive
  automatic booklet making machine currently available on the market.
• The
  BM101 is actually quite simple to use. You start by determining the
  position of the staplers using the handy chart printed on the surface
  of the unit. Then, align your sheets on the machine using the printed
  grid as a guide. The stops self center to assure you are always
  stapling right in the correct position. Once the pages are in place you
  simply lower the lever of the machine to activate the staplers. Then
  after the document is stapled you simply reverse the lever and hold it
  down firmly to activate the folding mechanism and to complete the
  booklet making process. It is as simple as that.
• The BM101
  has two staplers and four different stapling positions. This allows you
  to produce different sized booklets using different sizes of paper. The
  two most common papers used with the BM101 are letter size paper for
  the production of 8.5″ x 5.5″ booklets and 11″ x17″ paper for the
  production of letter sized booklets.

Weaknesses / Limitations:

• The
  Martin Yale BM101 uses two small manual staplers for stapling the
  documents. These small staplers are high quality staplers but they are
  still manual staplers and they may jam or have issues. It is important
  to use high quality staples with these staplers and it may be necessary
  to replace the staplers over time, especially for high volume
  applications.
• The BM101 is rated to handle ten sheets of 20lb
  paper. However, in my testing I found that the machine sometimes had
  difficulties folding the maximum thickness of sheets that it was rated
  for. It would be a good idea to keep your booklets to 9 sheets or even
  less than that if you want to use a heavier paper or a cover for the
  front and back. If you do decide to push the limits on the machine you
  may have to deal with some paper jams.

Recommendation:

• For users on a budget that need to produce moderate numbers of booklets, the BM101 is an excellent choice.
• This
  machine may not be as automatic as some of the other booklet makers on
  the market. However , it is simple to operate and offers a great value
  for your money.
• The only real feature that this machine is
  missing that other more expensive machines have is electric stapling
  heads. If you can live without these then the BM101 is an excellent
  choice for your booklet making needs.
