Pitney Bowes Expands Offerings with New Color Production Print System

Business Wire
Pitney Bowes Inc. (NYSE: PBI) today announced it is launching a
new production color printing system for high-volume transactional
mailers. The new offering, called the Pitney Bowes® IntelliJet™
Printing System, is the result of a strategic alliance with HP, a
global leader in information and print technology.
The Pitney Bowes IntelliJet Printing System provides seamless
integration for large transactional mailers looking to enhance
revenues and streamline operations. The system is available for
immediate sale, the company said.
There are four critical elements to delivering high value
customer communications: the Pitney Bowes IntelliJet Printing
System, featuring the HP® T300 Color Inkjet engine, governed by
Production Intelligence® software for control and management, a
high-speed Pitney Bowes mail finishing system, and a single service
and support team for peak efficiency and performance. Together,
these elements result in a truly integrated solution for companies
where mail plays a strategic role in customer communications.
“There is tremendous pressure today on printed business
communications to deliver higher value when costs are rising and
growth is scarce,” said Leslie Abi-Karam, Pitney Bowes Executive
Vice President and President, Mailstream Solutions Management. “We
listened to our customers, and we’re very excited to provide the
only integrated print and mail solution in the industry. We can
help cut operational costs and deliver higher-value transactional
and transpromotional mail for growing revenues by acquiring,
retaining and cross selling to customers.”
Abi-Karam noted that Pitney Bowes has had a presence in the
production print business for years with its Production
Intelligence output management software. This software offering
includes workflow solutions that control and manage the worldwide
production of billions of critical documents annually. The
intelligence these systems provide yields higher value, more
effective communications between an organization and its
audiences.
“Directly selling, installing and supporting high-speed color
print and mail production systems is the next logical area for
Pitney Bowes to continue to build out its customer communications
solutions,” Abi-Karam said. Other components already offered by
Pitney Bowes include data management, document composition,
location intelligence, postal optimization and overall process
control through Production Intelligence.
The Pitney Bowes IntelliJet Printing System is expected to grow
to a family of high-speed, high-volume color production printing
systems. The first model, the Pitney Bowes IntelliJet 30 Printing
System, based on the HP T300 Color Inkjet Printing System, is an
innovative high-volume, color inkjet printing system that produces
complex transactional statements without compromising speed or
quality.
Independent of page complexity, the Pitney Bowes IntelliJet
Printing System consistently operates at 400 feet per minute with a
30” wide format and addressable 1200 x 600 dpi color quality.
Customers can produce 4-up 7” forms at up to 3,490 impressions per
minute, and 3-up 8.5” forms at up to 2,600 impressions per
minute.
Recent performance breakthroughs in print quality, processing
speed, expanded format size and overall reductions in total cost of
ownership have converged to address the business challenges facing
high-volume transactional mailers. Not surprisingly,
technology research firm IDC forecasts unit shipments for the
worldwide production color printer industry to grow by at least ten
percent per year over the next four years.
