Comparision Ricoh 2232 vs Canon 3200 saddlestitch finishers

Try this it may help..........

This does not answer the question - which is what weight paper can the SADDLESTICH FINISHER FOLD AND STAPLE, not the weight the copy can copy on, the question deals specifically with the finisher

Hope this helps

As a sidenote, the saddle finisher on the 2232/2238 is the same one Canon uses for their 2200/2800/3300 series. I guess if you can't beat 'em, join 'em.

it is my understanding that the finisher used by both RFG and Canon is manufactured by a third party source. Also, if what I was told is correct the RFG finisher offers hole punch while the Canon does not.
