Dynafold DE102 14

The Dynafold DE102 14" Paper Folder is a
lightweight, medium duty folder offering high performance and simple
operation. This efficient device has the potential to increase
productivity and save you both time and money. Eventually it will pay
for itself. Let's take a closer look at the pros and cons of the DE102.

Pros:

• This machine utilizes an automatic friction feed system,
  so you can stock the paper tray sheets and turn your attention elsewhere
  while it folds the stack. As many as 500 sheets can sit in the tray
  table at once. When the papers are all folded, the device will stop
  automatically. Precisely folded items are deposited in a partially
  enclosed tray located below the feed table. The catch tray holds up to
  500 letter-size folded sheets.
• If a paper jam occurs, power
  is cut to the motor to give the user an opportunity to fix it. Trays
  one and two can be simply removed for easy access to the rollers for
  quick clearing of jammed paper.
• Multiple folds can be made by
  the plates of this machine, including half or single fold, the standard
  letter trifold, a "Z" fold, and a gate fold, which has a wider middle
  panel. Custom folds can also be produced by adjusting the plates. The
  variety of fold styles can be used to produce multiple items, such as
  brochures, small booklets, flyers, bulletins, and menus.
• Paper
  sizes can range from 3-1/2" x 5" up to legal size, though it is built
  to mainly be used with letter, legal, and A4 size documents. Paper
  weights accepted run from 16lb bond up to 40lb bond. This folder
  self-adjusts to varying paper thicknesses.
• Dynafold provides a 90 day warranty on this product.

Weaknesses:

• The fold plates on this machine are manually adjusted.
  While there is a guide to assist you, precise folds may be difficult to
  attain without much trial and error. Because of this, the device may be
  best suited to those only needing to use one fold style. Offices
  needing frequent changes of the plates should invest in a folder with
  automatically adjusting plates, such as the Dynafold PF-330.
• As
  with most friction feed folders, this one doesn't work with glossy or
  coated papers. If you attempt to use them, a misfeed or paper jam may
  occur. These mediums are not used by many offices and won't be a
  problem for most. But if your business is looking for a machine that
  can accommodate specialty papers, the DE322 is able to handle them.
• One
  last thing about this machine is the limitation to legal size paper.
  This also may not affect many offices. However, if your office is
  looking to fold 11" x 17" items, such as booklets, the next model up
  from this one, the DE202AF, offers a wider size range.

Overall,
this is a great basic folder. Form and functionality are combined with
speed and performance. Many businesses won't be affected by the few
weaknesses and as such, this would be an ideal machine for them. We
think the Dynafold DE102 is an excellent choice for your next paper
folder.
