The Martin Yale CDS200 is
designed for organizations that create and duplicate CD’s. It cuts and
perforates CD jewel case inserts that are printed two up on a letter
sized sheet of paper.No other system is faster or more convenient for allowing you to make CD case inserts.

Overview:

  • The Martin Yale CDS200 is
    designed for organizations that create and duplicate CD’s. It cuts and
    perforates CD jewel case inserts that are printed two up on a letter
    sized sheet of paper.
  • This greatly simplifies the process of
    creating inserts for the back cover of your CD jewel cases. This allows
    you to add a back cover and imprinting on both the front and back
    spines of your CD cases.
  • No other system is faster or more convenient for allowing you to make CD case inserts.

Features / Strengths:

  • The
    Martin Yale CDS200 is capable of producing up to 4200 CD jewel case
    inserts per hour. This makes it ideal for use in high volume CD
    duplication. Each insert will be perfectly cut to fit inside the jewel
    case and will be perforated to ensure that the small flaps on each end
    easily fold up to title the spines of your CD cases.
  • The
    CDS-200 uses a two step process for producing CD jewel case inserts.
    You simply insert a letter sized printed sheet into the bottom station
    and it will trim the left and right side of the document and cut the
    remaining portion in half. You then take the two piece that were
    produced in the first step and run them through the top station to
    finish the trimming and to add the perforation.
  • The CDS-200
    uses self sharpening blades that are capable of operating for years
    without the need for replacement. However, if you do eventually need
    replacement blades they are available and reasonably priced.
  • The
    CDS-200 allows you to insert a stack of sheets up to 5/8″ thick into
    the feed hopper on the machine. It will automatically feed each sheet
    through and trim it without the need for user intervention. This allows
    the operator to place the inserts into the jewel cases while the CDS200
    is cutting. Just remember, this machine moves fast and it may be hard
    for one operator to keep up.

Weaknesses / Limitations:

  • This
    machine provides the ability to make small adjustments to ensure that
    your documents feed and cut straight. However, it is really only
    designed for cutting CD inserts. It is highly efficient for this
    purpose but cannot be used to perforate, cut or score any other sizes
    of cards or documents. Users should not purchase the CDS200 for any
    purpose other than creating CD inserts.
  • The CDS-200 is
    designed for use with 24lb bond paper. This should be more than
    adequate for use in most CD cases. However, attempting to use the
    CDS-200 with heavier stocks is not recommended.

Recommendation:

  • If
    you produce a huge number of CD’s and are looking for a way to produce
    jewel case inserts the Martin Yale CDS200 is an awesome solution.
  • It offers great productivity and the perforated flaps make using the inserts a breeze.
  • However ,
    it is important to remember that the CDS-200 is only designed for the
    production of CD jewel case inserts. It is not recommended for any
    other application and is not a good fit for a print shop or user who
    wants the ability to produce business cards or custom perforated
    documents.
