>>>Step Three: Gear Up

Third, you’ll need printing hardware systems and variable data printing (VDP) RIP software that’s up to the flexibility, image quality and production speed for the type and volume of work your application demands. Until recently, the only sorts of digital printing systems capable of printing individualized pieces at acceptable speeds have been toner-based sheet or roll-fed presses (Xerox iGen3/4, HP Indigo, Kodak NexPress, etc.), but now a whole new generation of high-speed systems are increasing production speeds dramatically—high-speed ink-jet presses (Fuji Jet Press 720, InfoPrint 5000, HP Inkjet Web Press, Kodak Versamark VX5000, etc.). These presses are capable of producing tens of thousands of individualized A4-sized color impressions per hour—fast enough for most large-run mail-outs.
