Martin Yale 1217a Autofolder Heavy Duty Paper Folding Machine Product Review

Overview:

• For years, the Martin Yale 1217a Autofolder has been one of the most popular heavy duty tabletop paper folding machines on the market.
• It is designed for folding a huge variety of paper sizes including letter-size, legal-size, 11" x 17" and 12" x 18" sized paper. It can even fold many heavy duty paper stocks that will jam inside other paper folding machines.
• These features make the Martin Yale 1217a an excellent choice for medium to large mailrooms, small print shops and medium to large sized churches.

Strengths / Features:

• The Martin Yale 1217a Autofolder is one of the only paper folders available on the market that is capable of handling 12" x 18" sized sheets. This is important for many print shops and printers since 12" x 18" is a common digital press sheet size.
• For organizations that are looking to fold heavy card stocks and index weight papers the Martin Yale 1217a is one of the best options available on the market. It uses large heavy duty feed rollers to help handle heavier paper stocks and is capable of handling 90lb cover, 135lb index and 165lb offset papers. The large feed rollers on this machine also make it better suited for handling glossy and coated papers. However, coated sheets and glossy stocks should be tested with this machine to ensure that they will run smoothly and that marks will not be left on stock from the friction rollers.
• The Martin Yale 1217a runs at speeds of up to 10,300 letter sized sheets per hour. Depending on the fold pattern and sheet size that you are using you may not be able to achieve that benchmark. However, the 1217a should be fast enough to keep up with most pieces of high speed digital printing equipment. This means that you should be able to fold your documents at least as fast as you can print them.
• The 1217a Autofolder can also produce a huge variety of folding patterns including a: letter-fold, half-fold, z-fold, double parallel fold, right angle fold and baronial fold. Or if you need to fold a custom sized sheet of paper you can manually adjust the fold plates to produce almost any folding pattern that you can imagine.

Weaknesses / Limitations:

• The 1217a does not have a manual speed adjustment. If you want the ability to adjust the folding speed you need to look at the 2020VS which offers a similar feature set to the 1217a but includes a fully variable speed control. The ability to adjust the speed makes running glossy and coated stocks easier and can also help eliminate paper jamming issues and misfeeds.
• In order to feed paper into the 1217a autofolder you need to fan out the paper so that each sheet is separated from the next. This can be a little bit tricky. Many other larger paper folding machines do not require you to fan the paper for folding. It isn't a huge deal but it is slightly inconvenient.
• The Martin Yale 1217a is a manual setup paper folder. This means that you have to manually move the fold plates into the correct positions to change folding patterns. This can be a little bit difficult for inexperienced users, especially if you need to change folding patterns on a regular basis. If the fold plates are not set up correctly or are not completely square the paper folder may jam or cause the folds to come out crooked. If you expect that you will need to regularly change the fold plates and your operators are not mechanically inclined it may be a good idea to look at a larger auto setup folder such as the Martin Yale 2051 Smartfold.

Recommendation:

• The Martin Yale 1217a autofolder is what is sometimes referred to as a "bread and butter" folder. For years it has been one of the most popular folding machines chosen by quick printers, copy shops and in plant print shops.
• It offers the ability to fold large sheet sizes, heavy stocks and operates at high speeds. This makes it a great machine for medium to large sized churches, mailrooms and print shops.
• However, the fact that you have to manually set up the fold plates on this machine does not make it an ideal machine for applications where multiple fold patterns are required and inexperienced operators will be required to use the machine.

Paper Folding $47.72 High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles Paper folding is the art of folding paper; it is known in many societies that use paper. In much of the West, the term origami is used synonymously with paper folding, though the term properly only refers to the art of paper folding in Japan.A popular belief holds that it is impossible to fold a sheet of paper in half more than 7 times, folding in any direction, as the challenge had existed for many years and had never been solved. This belief was debunked by then high school student Britney Gallivan who successfully folded a piece of paper 12 times. More importantly she developed the mathematical and physical explanations for the actual folding limits of incompressible materials when folding in one or two directions. After the mathematics were developed she demonstrated folding in half 12 times both by folding paper in a single direction and by folding gold foil while rotating the folding 90 degrees after each fold.

Mathematics of Paper Folding $68.51 High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles The art of paper folding, or origami, has received a considerable amount of mathematical study. Fields of interest include a given paper models flatfoldability (whether the model can be flattened without damaging it) and the use of paper folds to solve mathematical equations. The construction of origami models is sometimes shown as crease patterns. The major questions about such crease patterns are whether a crease pattern can be folded to a flat model, and deciding how to fold them is an NPcomplete problem. Related problems when the creases are orthogonal are called map folding problems.

Folding Paper Cranes: An Atomic Memoir $3.95 Between 1951 and 1962 the Atomic Energy Commission triggered some one hundred atmospheric detonations of nuclear weapons at the Nevada Test Site. U.S. military troops participated in these tests and were exposed to high doses of radiation. Among them was a young Marine named Leonard Bird. In Folding Paper Cranes Bird juxtaposes his devastating experience of those atomic exercises with three visits over his lifetime--one in the 1950s before his Nevada assignment, one in 1981, and one in the early 1990s--to the International Park for World Peace in Hiroshima. Among the monuments to tragedy and hope in Hiroshima's Peace Park stands a statue of Sadako Sasaki holding a crane in her outstretched arms. Sadako was two years old when the atomic bomb was dropped on her city; she was diagnosed with leukemia ten years later. According to popular Japanese belief, folding a thousand paper cranes brings good fortune. Sadako spent the last months of her young life folding hundreds of paper cranes. She folded 644 before she died. As he journeys from the Geiger counters, radioactive dust, and mushroom clouds of the Nevada desert to the bronze and ivory memorials for the dead in Japan, Bird--himself a survivor of radiation-induced cancer--seeks to make peace with his past and with a future shadowed by nuclear proliferation. His paper cranes are the poetry and prose of this haunting memoir.
