“It’s not the main reason we got the Xanté Digital Envelope press, but it sure is a great bonus,” he says. “Once we start marketing our four-color envelope capability I expect we’ll soon be running the machine full time.”
Barron acknowledges that the shop will have to farm some envelope work out, such as business reply envelopes, which require printing close to the edge. The in-plant might have held onto its 9850 to print these envelopes, except that it needed to free up space for a major piece of equipment—a Xerox iGen3 90. It arrived on November 3, replacing a Xerox 6060 and a pair of Konica Minolta 1050s.
