The Center in Shelton, CT, provides a test environment for customers running the latest applications in print and mail

For postpress, there was cause for optimism. While binding and finishing gear, in general, has a long life span, there was some speculation that printers looking to buy may opt for these types of upgrades/additions, which constitutes a far cheaper investment/risk in a sour economy than does a multi-million-dollar printing press.

Back in 1984 I was working for Pitney Bowes in Cairns in Far North Queensland.  If you’ve never been there, it’s hot.  In summer... it’s very hot.  My company car was the reject Toyota Hiace from the warehouse with vinyl seats and no air-conditioning. I couldn’t afford a proper car because I was making no commission.

On a typical day I’d drive an hour to an outlying town.  First I’d have to change my shirt because the one I was wearing during the drive was now stuck to my back.  Then I would spend the next 2 – 4 hours walking up and down each street in the town... cold prospecting.  For someone with low self-esteem, this was not fun.  I was also not very good at it.  After my first 9 months I was on about 50% of target and barely surviving.

Pitney Bowes announced it is launching a new production color printing system for high volume transactional mailers. The new offering, called the Pitney Bowes IntelliJet Printing System, is the result of a strategic alliance with HP, a global leader in information and print technology.

Pitney Bowes Inc. will showcase its latest technology and solutions for commercial printers, direct mailers and transaction mailers at PRINT 09, this year’s largest graphic communications exhibition and conference, scheduled for McCormick Place in Chicago, September 11-16. Pitney Bowes will be located at Booth 7708.

Gracy, vice president of Strategy and New Business Development, shares his views on how printing is becoming interactive.

Domino will use PRINT 09 to debut its new inserter controller tracking system and demonstrate how its latest variable data ink jet printing solutions can enable commercial printers to broaden their service offerings and increase business turnover. Domino’s affordable and scalable in-line digital VDP technologies including drop-on-demand, thermal and continuous ink jet printers, designed to suit a wide range of mailing, addressing and labeling applications, represent a vital proposition for printers seeking to enhance business opportunities in the ongoing global downturn.

Agfa Graphics, Pitney Bowes, and NAPL today announced their co-partnership of the PrintSmart webinar series in July and August. The PrintSmart series will consist of three exciting new webinars featuring cost reduction and money-saving strategies that commercial printers can put into action immediately!
