Not cheap

Myndology is probably the only retailer in America for Atoma. The punch is $145 and often out of stock.

Hi, I was reading the comments and have been eyeing different punch systems all year. I am a student so my budget isnt what you'd call expansive so I've been hesitant to drop some money on one. How much would you be able to get a punch/kit for? and in total after shipping it to me in California, USA? I think it's great that your supporting other people's productivity aspirations.

the Myndology basic paper, but there isn't much in the way of accessories. I haven't found Myndology to be very compatible with Circa. Maybe Levenger will start making recycled, fountain-pen friendly, cream-colored paper with soy-based inks. To top it off, they could make discs out of recycled glass. To die for.

I have used this for a while and yes, it is only comfortable punching 4 sheets. I noticed the mydnology site says their punch can do up to 10 pages but I'd be very surprised, as the punch looks identical.

atoma punch at manufactum

Has anybody tried this? The price is now up to 119€ and as the punch weights 2Kg the postage is going to be high as well.

On the description it's written it punches up to 4 sheets, isn't that a bit too low?

And yet, I am seriously thinking of ordering it. Crazy, yes, I know, no need to tell me.

No longer available!

Sorry to bring up an old thread, but somehow, Google keeps finding this, and I keep getting requests to buy more of these Rollabind punches. Unfortately, the seller no longer wants to see these things outside of Poland. He's basically selling them at a loss to try to interest people in their real product--the rings, and paper. So, this deal is no longer available. Sorry.

P.S. How come I can't edit my original post? Was it written during one of the contests? or are super-old posts not editable? I would love to delete my original post, or at least edit it, but I can't. :-( Sorry.

Not compatible enough to interchange

I have to say I'm really frustrated with the Myndology stuff. My notebooks are floppy, not stiff like Levenger covers and the pages really are not interchangeable, especially at the letter size. Even if the smurfs work, it's 10 rings instead of 11, so they don't line up well. Also, if you score these 20% off coupons for Levenger, the Myndology stuff isn't that much less expensive, if at all. I'm going to stick with Circa.

Thanks for the link. Might prove useful as a (slightly) cheaper alternative to Rollabind. However, the UK subsidiary of that company doesn't seem to list the Atoma punch.

Hi,
I hust recieved a newletter from a German store where you can order (and see, of course) the Atoma desk punch. Only drawback is its price: 98 €.

wooden rings

Might perhaps be worth checking with a woodturner who does small items in dense wood, see if they can turn out some rings. Though it could be a bit expensive for a full-size binder with lots of rings.

Atoma: A Rollabind alternative?

ShutterCat7 — Tue, 17 Oct 2006 15:05:42 -0400

I popped in a college bookstore near my house and found disc-bound index and fobster size card sets from Atoma, which is a Netherlands-based company. Their website is at www.atoma.be and their US-based distributor is Myndology at www.myndology.com. The 3x5 cards were $3.59 and the fobster size cards were $2.59. I did not see any kind of punch. They seem to want to sell refill cards. I think the Rollabind punch will work.
