(NYSE:PBI), the world’s leading provider of integrated mail and document management solutions, will showcase a comprehensive suite of mailing and fulfillment solutions at the Print '05 Conference, to be held September 9 – September 14 at the McCormick Place Complex in Chicago, Illinois.

On display at booth #3667 will be new hardware, software and service offerings that allow print and mail operations to increase the effectiveness and efficiency of their customer communications and mailings. Pitney Bowes will showcase its customer communications management (CCM) solutions at work, including the introduction of a new high speed inserter that delivers the perfect combination of speed (delivering up to 14,000 mail pieces per hour), flexibility and integrity for high-performance processing of multiple mail applications.
Additional new Pitney Bowes products on display will include:
• API-Unwinder, a roll input solution to improve productivity and job quality with integration to Direct Connect providing operators with a single point interface for easy operation;
• DM Infinity™ Series digital meter enhancements for permit and graphics printing. The mailing system’s new capabilities include integration for manifesting/postal evidencing and the ability to deliver more personalized permit mail for a great customer response rate;
• EFS Envelope Finishing System, a new printing and scanning solution that virtually customizes envelopes during the inserting process, which allows mailers to standardize their envelope types to help reduce inventory. All information is printed on the envelope — just in time — including variable messages — and the mail pieces are also scanned to ensure integrity.
Showcasing CCM@Work, Pitney Bowes’ integrated solution will include an IBM Infoprint^® 4100 printing real-time with Hunkeler pre- and post-processing. Attendees will see how a transactional document evolves into a personalized direct mail application with scalable integrity, inline printing, variable data messaging, business geographics, data quality, document composition postal efficiency and multi-channel electronic distribution. And learn how customer data and responses lead to the evolution of a cross-sell opportunity to improve the bottom-line.

For high-volume mailers seeking full compliance with the USPS^® digital meter mandate, demonstrations of the new DM Infinity™ Series Digital Mailing System will be available. In addition to being the only digital meter family in the world to meter up to 22,000 mail pieces per hour, the DM Infinity system will demonstrate its ability to print meter indicia, customized messages and now permit mail, helping mailers reduce costs, run times and inventory of pre-printed envelopes.
