Design Criteria
    Some very specific design criteria were set forth prior to development of ChIPS.

1.  Make it affordable.
2.  Produce a quality product.
3.  Make the binding process simple, with throughput that exceeds most popular laser printers.

Patent applications are on file with US Patent and Trademark. 

Division of Labor
    "Division of labor", that's the essence of ChIPS. It is affordable enough to put in every branch so no new hires are necessary.  Without doubt this feature has to be right at the top of the list when it comes to profitability. 

    Does it take a lot of training?  No, not at all!  You will be up and operational the very first day.

Check Binder Specifications
    The MPM6000 Check Binder, the heart of ChIPS, is an attractive piece of office equipment about the size of a laser printer.  A state of the art microprocessor motion control system automates paper feed, slit-to-size, collection, alignment, and stapling.  It will produce booklets with up to 40 pages and a bright LED display prompts the operator with step by step instructions and machine status.

Supply Specifications
    Paper Stock is long-grained 24# MICR bond for a professional feel and appearance.  All check stock carries the all important "Padlock"  and MP icons signifying a minimum of 3 security features and Micro Printing. 

    Backer cards are a unique wrap-around patent pending design that eliminates the application of tape to the spine.  Check pads fit any check wallet.

    MICR Toner Cartridges meet ANSI standards and ship with both a document of certification and a print out of test results.

Bundled Pricing
    The ChIPS per-check-order "bundled price" license includes equipment, consumables, production software, and support.  It eases transition for your staff and simplifies ordering and inventory control procedures. 

Return on Investment (ROI) and Profitability
    Start-up cost for ChIPS is low, about the price of a second hand single pocket proof machine. Your ROI will most likely be realized within the first couple of months. 

    Profitability with ChIPS is many times the typical per-order rebate of $2-$3 from off-site contractors.
