Mailroom Enhancements

Ink-jet Quality Rising

Advances in ink-jet technology have made it the technology of choice for mail addressing.

"By installing an ink-jet printing system, [in-plants] will have a much higher-quality mailing system than a laser printer," says Bob Neagle, Videojet's graphics product manager. "In prior years, quality was not as high and production was slower; the in-plant would print the mailing on an offset press then re-roll it to be printed on a laser printer for variable printing. Now an in-plant can mount the ink-jet head inline after the offset press and save the expense of moving the job, and it is near offset press quality."
