Mail Operators to See the Only Flexible High-Speed Cutter on the Market at
Graph Expo
STAMFORD, Conn., Oct. 16 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Today, Pitney Bowes
announced that it has increased productivity input for mail operations by
44 percent with the debut of the most flexible high-productivity cutter on
the market, the HPI-72C. At 72,000 cut sheets per hour, the cutter performs
two-up continuous roll-fed or fan-folded applications.
Pitney Bowes will demonstrate the new HPI-72C input integrated with
leading-edge mail and document solutions at Graph Expo(R) and Converting
Expo(R), America's number one printing and graphics communications event,
held in Chicago, IL, October 15-18, 2006. Pitney Bowes is located at Booth
2063.
The 72K cutter has servo-powered technology and can be integrated with
Pitney Bowes APS(TM) Advanced Productivity Series and FPS(TM) Flexible
Productivity Series inserting systems. With its speed and flexibility, this
latest innovation is significant for mail operations with high page count
applications, such as telcos and utilities, insurance and financial firms,
because they can expect a significant increase in the production of their
input.
"We've removed a major speed bump that slows mail production. Now a 3
to 4-page job flies through like a 2-page job," said Clint Dally, Vice
President, Product Line Management for Pitney Bowes Document Management
Technologies. "Clients have asked us for speed, easy set-up, high
productivity and -- more importantly -- consistency. The Pitney Bowes 72K
cutter delivers on each of these key performance demands."
The speed behind the HPI-72C is attributed to its accurate fast-motion
control which allows the input to process odd-page-count accumulations
without throughput degradation. For the first time ever, mail operators are
seeing 2-page processing speeds on 3 to 4-page jobs.
In addition to the debut of the HPI-72C, Pitney Bowes will also
showcase its comprehensive range of mailstream solutions at the event. 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) inserter 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(TM) 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 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.
