Ames On Demand -- Still Rolling On

Plain 11x17˝ sheets cut off a roll and perforated by the DocuSheeter cost $8.55 per thousand, versus $9.90 per thousand for 8.5x11˝ pre-perforated sheets. Plus, even for non-perforated applications, rolls saved $1.65 per thousand compared to buying 11x17˝ sheets.

The DocuSheeter's running perforator option is also very simple to use. Its perf wheels resemble pizza cutters that perforate the paper before it's sheeted and fed into the printer. "The setup takes only minutes, and you can quickly lower the perf wheels into position; and if you don't need them, you just lift them up," explains Shea.
