Boosts capacity for high-volume, full-color variable printing

Warminster, Pa. - Mail-Gard^®, a division of IWCO Direct and one of the nation’s leading providers of critical communication recovery solutions, has increased its capacity for full-color (CMYK) variable data printing with the installation of an Océ JetStream^® 2200 at its facility in Warminster, Pa. The printer is also equipped with dynamic magnetic ink character recognition (MICR) printing and perforation capabilities, giving Mail-Gard the flexibility to print a variety of job requirements on demand. The new press unit will be fully operational in June and complements the full-color capabilities currently present at IWCO Direct’s facilities in Chanhassen, Minn.

The JetStream 2200 meets increasing demand for print-to-mail recovery plans that include full-color variable continuous print and multiple finishing requirements. Printing at 500 feet per minute with 600 DPI, Mail-Gard’s JetStream 2200 has dynamic perforation and MICR printing along with in-line tractor-feed hole punch capabilities. These features allow a variety of print applications such as checks, statements, invoices and more, to be printed within the same data stream, significantly reducing the time required to set up and produce print runs with multiple formats.

“The demand for full-color continuous printing is on the rise,” explained Jerry Montella, vice president of sales and general manager of Mail-Gard. “The addition of this powerful new printer with variable perf and MICR capabilities increases our flexibility and allows us to meet the growing needs of our customers.”
