Pitney Bowes Showcases Communication Intelligence in the Mailstream at Graph Expo 2006

    STAMFORD, Conn., Oct. 12 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Pitney Bowes Inc.
(NYSE: PBI), the mailstream technology company, will showcase leading-edge
mailstream solutions at Graph Expo 2006, America's number one printing and
graphics communications event, to be held in Chicago, IL, October 15 - 18,
2006. Pitney Bowes will be located at Booth 2063.
    "We look forward to showcasing our mailstream solutions at Graph Expo,"
said Murray Martin, President and COO of Pitney Bowes. "We will be
demonstrating how Pitney Bowes solutions help customers reduce operating
costs, maximize productivity and increase revenues."
    "Graph Expo is the ideal forum for connecting with clients and
prospects who want to leverage communication intelligence in their
operations," said Leslie Abi Karam, President of Pitney Bowes Document
Management Technologies. "Communication Intelligence does not begin and end
in a database, it runs across the entire mailstream with production
intelligence, customer intelligence and channel intelligence. We will
demonstrate how to apply this to reduce costs, increase print and mail
production efficiency and, most importantly, drive customer response."
    Special guest William "Refrigerator" Perry will be signing autographs
at the Pitney Bowes Booth 2063 on Monday afternoon from 1:00 p.m. - 3:00
p.m. CT. Perry was a first round draft pick for the Chicago Bears who
retired in 1994 after 11 years as a pro.
    This year, Pitney Bowes will introduce new mailstream solutions that
deliver high quality, productivity and speed to transactional and direct
mail operations. The industry-leading Pitney Bowes APS(TM) Advanced
Productivity Series inserting system will be on display with a new high
productivity input which will dramatically increase productivity for
multiple page-count applications such as telecommunications and utility
bills. The APS(TM) inserter includes the new Twist-No-Twist module that
automatically adapts to face up or face down printing ensuring the proper
orientation at the collation stage. The APS(TM) application also highlights
Pitney Bowes Group 1 Software's data quality, business geographics,
document composition and postal efficiency solutions. Pitney Bowes Emtex
will also highlight their robust output print management solutions, fully
integrated with DFWorks(R) to provide high integrity end-to-end job
tracking.
    A new solution for the growing direct mail market will also be
introduced -- the FlowMaster(R) RS inserter, equipped with servo-powered
rotary feeders. The FlowMaster(R) RS inserter will also be integrated with
the Flexible Bindery Interface processing a folded, one-page personalized
direct mail application. In addition, the system will demonstrate integrity
scanning, variable, high-definition graphics and text printed on the
envelope in real time.
    Sure-Feed Engineering, acquired by Pitney Bowes in June 2006, located
in adjacent Booth 2463, will showcase its direct mail solutions including
card affixing and paper feeding accessories.
    Pitney Bowes Global Mailstream Solutions will showcase software
capabilities including its AddressRIGHT(R) Pro software, which delivers a
comprehensive mail management solution that supports a complete range of
presort methods, and PB First(TM) document processing software, which
manages mailings by importing, reformatting and enhancing electronic print
or data files. Both products are designed to provide cost savings, greater
flexibility and document integrity.
    Also featured will be the DI950 Series inserting system, an automated
mail folding and inserting desktop device that helps businesses improve the
speed, accuracy and efficiency of outgoing mail communication. The DI950 is
an integrated system that combines advanced software and leading-edge paper
handling technology designed specifically to meet the high-end demands of
mailers who run a wide variety of jobs, including "print on demand"
marketing campaigns. In addition, attendees will see the DA950
AddressRIGHT(R) addressing system, a high-speed, desktop envelope imaging
system which offers advanced clarity, spot color capability and enhanced
productivity. These systems will be interfaced with the DM1000(TM) digital
mailing system, which offers patented Weigh-On-The-Way(TM) weighing
technology and meets the demands of high-volume mailers and can feed, seal,
post and stack mail at speeds of up to 260 pieces per minute and offers
exclusive mail services through IntelliLink (R) technology.
