On Friday, Mele Printing, one of the first Pitney Bowes clients
to install an AcceleJet, hosted print and mail service providers at
its Covington, LA headquarters to demonstrate the printing and
finishing system and the benefits of its seamless integration with
Pitney Bowes production mail inserting solutions.
As a leading commercial printing, mailing and fulfillment
company, Mele Printing processes more than three million mail
pieces each month for clients in various industries. Remaining a
leader in this competitive industry required a solution that could
increase operational efficiency, offer enhanced capabilities and
lower overall costs. Mele Printing found an answer to this
challenge in AcceleJet.
“The AcceleJet system met every expectation that we were looking
for, including compact size (just 28’ end-to-end), low noise,
operation simplicity and high print quality,” said Mallery Mele,
CEO/Owner, Mele Printing. “The print quality of the machine has
been the number one asset. Immediately, it was a significant
improvement in how we serve our customers.”
AcceleJet is an innovative roll to cut-sheet printing solution
that provides a simple, cost-effective path to 100% variable data
color inkjet at a cost comparable to many monochrome options. It is
ideal for mid-sized transactional mail operations with a monthly
print volume of one to ten million impressions. It combines high
quality color output, integrated finishing and dynamic perforation.
Customer communications are transformed into personalized pieces –
creating greater impact with bills, statements, enrollment forms
and offers.
“Our customers like the quality of the product. We are seeing
new opportunities from customers who were not giving us their
business,” Mele said. “Today, our confidence index is 100%. It has
changed dramatically because of the type of work we can take in
with the AcceleJet.”
Output is also optimized for processing on Pitney Bowes
inserting systems to deliver the benefits of a Pitney Bowes White
Paper Factory solution. By integrating the AcceleJet system with
FlowMaster inserters, Mele Printing consolidated its workflow by
using rolls of plain white paper rather than preprinted forms. This
improves speed, accuracy and precision for each print job.
“Working with one vendor, combined with the continuity of labor,
has increased our efficiency and cost savings. Overall, the
AcceleJet is a perfect machine. It does a great job, and it's easy
to adapt the printing and finishing system to meet diverse needs,”
said Mele.
Speed and Functionality Upgrades
Pitney Bowes announced in June that AcceleJet can be upgraded to
deliver 33% faster print speeds – up to 328’ per minute providing
716 letter impressions per minute. This upgrade is available
now.
“This speed upgrade is exciting for our clients and for the
future of AcceleJet. Beyond the obvious advantage of greater
productivity, it also demonstrates the flexibility and
upgradeability of our machines. We are constantly working with our
clients to improve the speed and performance of our solutions, so
that an investment in a Pitney Bowes solution is an investment in
our innovation model as well,” said Grant Miller, Chief Operating
Officer, Pitney Bowes Document Messaging Technologies.
Pitney Bowes is in the process of developing future enhancements
to the AcceleJet printing and finishing system, including adding
MICR (Magnetic Ink Character Recognition) capability, which will
enable clients to print checks and other negotiable documents.
Pitney Bowes also plans to adapt its Clarity Solutions Suite to its
portfolio of production printers, including AcceleJet. The Clarity
Solutions Suite, currently offered on high-speed mail inserting
solutions, leverages the physical and digital technologies of the
Industrial Internet to integrate and organize data collected from
machines to support real-time insight, predictive analytics and
prescriptive maintenance. These innovations are targeted for
commercial availability in 2017.
Pitney Bowes offers the industry’s broadest range of inkjet
format sizes, with a portfolio that includes the AcceleJet,
IntelliJet 20, IntelliJet 20 HD, IntelliJet 30, IntelliJet 42 and
IntelliJet 42 HD.
