Pitney Bowes Expands IntelliJet™ Line of Color Production Print Systems

Business Wire
Pitney Bowes Inc. (NYSE: PBI) today announced it is expanding
its line of high-speed digital color printing systems. The new
offering, the Pitney Bowes® IntelliJet™ 20 Printing System, will
help more companies transition their printed communications from
monochrome to color simply and cost-effectively, and communicate
more effectively with their audiences.
The new system complements the IntelliJet™ 30 Printing System,
which Pitney Bowes launched in 2009. The system is on display at
the IPEX 2010 industry show, taking place May 18-25 at the National
Exhibition Centre in Birmingham, UK.
Like the IntelliJet™ 30 Printing System, the new system is the
result of a strategic alliance with HP, a global leader in
information and print technology. Offering the same high-quality,
1200 x 600 dpi addressable resolution print engine and built-in
Pitney Bowes Production Intelligence™ software, the IntelliJet™ 20
Printing System produces complex transactional statements without
compromising speed or quality. Its 20.5-inch-wide format is sized
to replace existing toner-based monochrome devices. Scaled for
high-volume transactional print and mail customers, the system fits
right within their existing environment to deliver 2-up monochrome
as well as the full color variable print they need to expand
services.
“For years, enterprise customers and service bureaus have turned
to Pitney Bowes for industry-leading customer communications
solutions,” said Leslie Abi-Karam, executive vice president and
president, mailing solutions management. “The IntelliJet™ 20 now
allows us to take the ability to integrate variable color print and
mail down market, delivering this same value to a much broader
array of customers, both domestically and internationally.”
The company is accepting orders now for both systems for
delivery to European Union countries, in addition to the United
States.
Both the IntelliJet™ 20 and the IntelliJet™ 30 Printing Systems
include new features and system enhancements for greater
performance and capability. These include:
- Pitney Bowes® IntelliJet™ Print
Process Manager, a powerful hardware and software solution that
maximizes the productivity and operational control of IntelliJet™
Printing Systems
- Fully integrated MICR (Magnetic
Ink Character Recognition) to allow financial institutions to print
checks with integrity and security
- Expanded range of integrated
post print accessories that can be configured to support specific
mail finishing needs
Industry-leading Pitney Bowes Production Intelligence™ software
allows mailers to integrate print and mail with one streamlined
platform for unprecedented process integration. Independent of page
complexity, the IntelliJet™ 20 Printing System can consistently
deliver maximum throughput with a print speed of up to 400 feet
(122 m) per minute for monochrome; 200 feet (61 m) per minute for
color, with high quality output that is specifically tuned for
high-speed mail finishing. Moreover, the IntelliJet™ 20 Printing
System can also help turn routine bills and statements into
powerful marketing and sales tools.
That Pitney Bowes is offering this integrated system makes
sense, according to a leading analyst from InfoTrends. “The
IntelliJet system is much more than a print-and-mail hardware
offering,” said Jim Hamilton, group director, InfoTrends’
Production Hardware Consulting Services. “It leverages Pitney
Bowes’s powerful capabilities in software, workflow, and global
service and support.”
Like the larger system, the IntelliJet™ 20 Printing System
offers high reliability and performance and is backed by a
specially trained customer service organization. This team helps
the system run at its optimal efficiency, enabling customers to
provide aggressive Service Level Agreements to internal and
external print and mail clients.
“The IntelliJet™ 20 Printing System provides the powerful
technology of the IntelliJet™ 30 Printing System, but is physically
and financially sized for a much broader range of customers,” said
Abi-Karam. “It truly delivers the quality, integrity and
flexibility of world-class production print and mail technology to
answer customers’ needs.”
For organizations interested in exploring the possibilities of
full-color production mail, Pitney Bowes recently opened a Customer
Innovation Center in Shelton, Connecticut, equipped with the
IntelliJet™ 30 Printing System and all the software required to
design and run complex print and mail jobs. To learn more about
