Paper Joggers For Beginners

Since you're reading this, either you're in the market for a paper jogger or you're wondering just what the heck a paper jogger could be

. Well, a paper jogger is a machine that jiggles a stack of paper to ensure that the sheets are flush. (It also reduces static cling.) Paper joggers are usually used by binderies and print shops who need to make sure that a stack of paper is lined up right before the documents are bound, cut, mailed, etc. Buying a paper jogger can be bewildering, especially if you're not sure what you should be looking for. This article will fill you in on what's important to consider when buying a paper jogger.

First, you need to think about how much paper you're going to process. Some machines have a single bin that can hold one ream of paper, but there are also larger machines that can hold three or four reams in the same number of bins. The more paper you need to jog, the more bins you need.

Paper size is also an important consideration. Many paper joggers are designed to handle standard letter-sized sheets (8.5" x 11") and these machines are usually angled (up to 60 degrees). However, there are other joggers that can hold sheets that are legal-sized (8.5" x 14") or larger. And if you work with odd-sized materials, such as envelopes, you'll need a special jogger. There are special envelope joggers that are great for companies that handle a lot of correspondence. And if you work with other types of products such as magazines and newspapers, you can purchase a flat jogger which allows you to hold your items as the machine aligns them. Flat joggers are ideal for jogging big, oversized documents.

As mentioned above, paper joggers can help eliminate the static that builds up during document production. Static often builds up during four-color process printing, but an air-assist jogger can help with that by shooting a bit of compressed air to separate the documents. So if you work with four-color processed documents a lot, be sure to look for a machine that can help you with the static problem. They're usually a bit more expensive than standard paper joggers, but the extra cost is well worth it.

Some paper joggers are variable speed models. This means you can vary the speed at which documents are jogged. What speed you use depends a lot on the type of paper you're trying to jog. For example, regular bond paper needs a higher speed than glossy paper because the glossy stuff slides around a lot easier.

You'll also need to consider where you'll be putting your new paper jogger. If space is tight, a floor-standing jogger might be a good idea. There are also desktop joggers that can be placed on any desk or table, allowing you to sit down while you work. It's all a matter of personal preference and how much free space you have. You'll also want to think about your budget, of course, although you should always buy the best machine you can afford. It will save you money in the long run because you'll be less likely to have to repair or replace the machine.

Hopefully you're now a little bit less bewildered than you were when you first started reading this article and now feel confident that you can choose the right paper jogger for your workplace. Good luck and have fun with your new machine!
