New offering from Pitney Bowes

Pitney Bowes Inc recently announced the launch of the new Print+ Messenger colour inkjet system enabling the high-resolution colour printing of customized marketing messages on envelopes during high-speed mail insertion. The new system, the result of a collaboration between mail finishing leader Pitney Bowes and inkjet printing technology leader HP, can operate at speeds up to 20,000 mailpieces per hour, making this technology suitable for even the highest-volume mailers.

The new technology can help mailers improve their operational efficiency by eliminating preprinted envelopes, reducing envelope storage needs, streamlining application changeover, and commingling mail. An integral part of a White Paper Factory solution, it eliminates the need for mailers to use anything other than plain white envelopes for their customer communications. All necessary information, including customized marketing offers, company logos, mailing and return addresses, and postal barcodes can be printed directly onto the envelope as it travels along the inserter.

“We talk a lot about innovation at Pitney Bowes, and the Print+ Messenger colour inkjet system is further evidence that we back up this talk with action that directly benefits our customers,” said Ramesh Ratan, president of Pitney Bowes Document Messaging Technologies, adding, “By bringing our proprietary intelligent variable transport and integrity tracking and software together with HP’s world-renowned printing expertise, we have created something unique in the marketplace. That’s exciting.”
