Business Wire
Pitney Bowes Inc. (NYSE:PBI) today announced new hardware
enhancements, software updates and capabilities for its IntelliJet®
Printing Systems to help high-volume transactional mailers and
service bureaus produce high-quality, personalized color
communications. Pitney Bowes will showcase these enhancements at
drupa 2012 in Dusseldorf, Germany (Hall 4, Stand 4C04).
Hardware Enhancements
Hardware updates include new printhead technology and color
inks, which enable increased 800 feet-per-minute, full-density
monochrome printing speeds on the IntelliJet® 30 and IntelliJet® 42
Printing Systems, as well as 400 feet-per-minute, monochrome and
full-density color speeds on the IntelliJet® 20 Printing System.
Pitney Bowes, which uses HP Inkjet Web Press technology in its
IntelliJet Printing System family, will demonstrate the 800
feet-per-minute, 100 percent variable-data color capabilities
running on the T400 Color Inkjet Web Press in the adjacent HP
stand. Pitney Bowes will show in their stand, the 400
feet-per-minute color capabilities on the IntelliJet 20 Printing
System.
The new inks and printheads also provide crisp images and a
broader color range. These enhancements can help organizations
transition their printed communications from monochrome to color
simply and cost-effectively to produce more effective customer
communications. The color imaging capabilities can also help
organizations print high-speed transaction documents and
high-quality customer communications pieces on the same production
line.
Software Updates
Software enhancements include the availability of IntelliJet
Print Process Manager 3.1. The IntelliJet Print Process Manager is
the workflow engine that powers the Pitney Bowes family of
IntelliJet® Printing Systems. The IntelliJet Print Process Manager
3.1 offers 64 bit platform support to enable higher performance
processing of critical print applications including extended and
scalable high resolution PDF document workflows. Expanded PDF
support allows organizations to process 100 percent variable data,
four-color jobs at full production speed, and transform and process
Metacode, LCDS, AFP, AFPDS, PS, PDF and PCL formats with the
highest integrity. The expanded PDF capability can help customers
easily scale processing power to meet their evolving printing
needs. The software can also optimize document output for mail
finishing on Pitney Bowes inserting systems.
The IntelliJet Print Process Manager 3.1 also includes an ink
estimation tool to enable customers to identify ink usage
consumption and the costs of production for print jobs. In
addition, the software includes enhanced color management enabling
more options for the control of color to achieve improved results
and true balance between quality and cost.
The IntelliJet Print Process Manager 3.1 is available for
customer specific shipment now and for general availability at the
end of July 2012.
New Capabilities
In addition to the hardware and software updates, Pitney Bowes’s
IntelliJet Printing System family now supports a fully integrated
camera-based content verification solution and a new zero-speed
splicer and turret rewinder.
Videk’s DocuVision 8600 system provides real-time, page-level
content verification at full press speed. This includes barcode and
MICR character quality analysis/readability and personalized
variable data verification. Validation of information, accuracy of
one-to-one messaging and proof of production output helps provide
enhanced job integrity for complex transactional mail applications.
Used in tandem with the IntelliJet Printing System family,
transactional mailers and printers can increase productivity,
reduce waste, and manage data for enhanced audit trails.
Pitney Bowes’s IntelliJet 42 Printing System also now supports a
new zero-speed splicer and turret rewinder. Ideal for in-line
finishing, the zero-speed splicer reduces the time it takes to load
and splice rolls in the unwind unit. The turret rewinder provides
an alternative to in-line finishing to offload completed rolls
without stopping the printer.
“We are continuing to make investments in our IntelliJet
Printing Systems to help meet the needs of high-volume
transactional mailers around the world,” said Ramesh Ratan,
president of Pitney Bowes Document Messaging Technologies. “The new
technology updates and capabilities we are adding to the IntelliJet
Printing Systems will help increase the quality, productivity and
efficiency for printing high-impact color communications.”
The Pitney Bowes® IntelliJet Print Process Manager powers the
IntelliJet Printing Systems to produce high-quality complex color
or monochrome customer communications at full print speed. The
IntelliJet Printing System family leverages proven HP inkjet
technology to offer 1,200 nozzles-per-inch native resolution and
nozzle redundancy for robust print quality.
Pitney Bowes® Production Intelligence® software allows mailers
to integrate print and mail with one streamlined platform for
unprecedented process integration and control, greater print and
mail precision and end-to-end system integrity. The IntelliJet®
family of printing systems is a key component to delivering more
powerful, relevant customer communications. Only Pitney Bowes
offers an end-to-end solution that can help print and mail
operations migrate to a White Paper Factory™ solution that includes
output management, production print, mail finishing, envelope
wrapping and inline on-envelope printing, for greater productivity,
operational cost savings made possible by lean, highly efficient
document manufacturing. All of these systems are backed by 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.
