Pitney Bowes announces new system for mid-volume print and mail service providers
Pitney Bowes has announced the global availability of its new AcceleJet printing and finishing system which – when combined with Pitney Bowes’ customer engagement software, services and mail finishing equipment – will form the centrepiece of an end-to-end White Paper Factory Solution for mid-volume print and mail service providers. The system is particularly suited to companies who generate between 4m and 10m transactional or direct-mail printing impressions per month.
According to Pitney Bowes, the roll to cut-sheet printing solution provides a cost-effective path to high-quality colour inkjet at a cost comparable to many monochrome options.
Jason Dies, President, Pitney Bowes Document Messaging Technologies, commented: “A number of mid-volume mailers with cut-sheet workflows are looking for a cost-effective way to transition to inkjet. Given our familiarity with these clients and our experience with production print in the complex transactional mail segment, we believe this is a space where we can add value.
“Some of the world’s largest mailers rely on Pitney Bowes’ IntelliJet printing systems to produce billions of high-impact colour bills and statements every year. Our AcceleJet offering leverages everything we have learned from servicing these high-volume mailers and makes it available to a broader market segment, which includes many businesses that already rely on our industry-leading inserting equipment.”
The compact AcceleJet system offers one-up roll to dynamic perforation, to cut-sheet output through a high quality, duplex colour inkjet print engine that fits within existing cut-sheet workflows. It produces full-colour, personalized communications with two-to-five-times greater throughput over existing monochrome, spot colour, or full colour cut sheet toner systems and features a range of built-in finishing options that allow more types of jobs to be processed on a single platform.
A White Paper Factory eliminates the need for pre-printed forms and envelopes, helping to streamline print and mail processes and lower operational costs while providing a means to add greater value to each mail piece. AcceleJet now extends these benefits to mid-volume mailers in cut-sheet environments.
“Increasing cost pressures, privacy issues, regulation, emerging technologies and evolving customer preferences are critical business issues facing print and mail operations. Pitney Bowes is helping our clients address these challenges with end-to-end solutions that fully integrate print and mail processes,” said Dies.
