Production Technologies
Printing
Documents are printed using high-speed production inkjet printers. Bills are either produced using black printing, black plus 1 or 2 colors printing, or 4-color CMYK printing. Both static and variable data and images are dynamically printed onto blank white paper. Perforations are dynamically applied to roll fed inkjet printed output. Postcards and inserts can be printed using grayscale or 4-color CMYK production inkjet (used for larger jobs) or laser printing (short run jobs) technology.
To ensure maximum uptime InfoSend utilizes production printers from multiple vendors, including Ricoh, Canon and Xerox. This includes a Ricoh VC60000 roll fed inkjet printer, in addition to other digital color presses. The VC60000 is a premier full color digital press available on the market today that can print both transactional jobs that require "business color" quality and marketing jobs that require high image quality.
As of June, 2020 InfoSend has three full size inkjet presses that print images 2-up at a speed of 150 meters per minute, along with various other printers. The total printing capacity across all devices is over 10 million images per day. Production capacity is constantly monitored and increased as monthly volumes increase.
High Speed Mail Inserting
Printed documents are inserted using high-speed production inserters. Mailing equipment is extremely expensive and challenging
for most organizations to operate. Leverage InfoSend's economies of scale by outsourcing your mailing. You will no longer
have to pay for equipment financing and service.
Many organizations do not have dedicated staff to operate mailing equipment, or rely on just one or two dedicated staff members and struggle when one is out sick or on vacation. By outsourcing your mailing you can reallocate your staff to work on your core business.
Selective Inserting is available, which allows you to selectively target insert, flyers, or newsletters to specific mail pieces. Selective Inserting will also allow you to exclude a #9 return envelope for all customers participating in an automatic payment program. Individual documents can be grouped together ("householding"), if desired. Documents can be grouped together based on mailing address alone or based on indicators in your data files.
All addresses are put through CASS certified address validation. This adds the 4-digit extension to the Zip Code, creates the USPS
OneCode Intelligent Mail Barcode, and digitally presorts the addresses. Batches containing at least 500 bar-coded mail pieces are
digitally presorted and delivered to the USPS at the lowest possible rate.
During processing A 2D barcode is added to your documents and used with intelligent mail inserting equipment. This equipment
folds and inserts documents using "mail piece integrity" software to prevent inserting errors such as double stuffing.
The barcodes are read before and after the documents are inserted into the envelopes to ensure proper sequencing and handling.
