Commercial Inkjet Printer Costs | High-Speed Envelope & Direct Mail Presses

A small business or print shop should look for a printer with low operational costs and a footprint that fits the shop. The compact benchtop iJetColor 1175 is designed for this, printing up to 7,000 #10 envelopes per hour in full-color, full-bleed. That lets small businesses profitably handle short-run envelope and direct mail jobs that would otherwise be outsourced, boosting margins and service offerings.

Our commercial printers are highly versatile, handling a wide range of media. This includes standard envelopes (#9, #10, remit, catalog), letterhead, and direct mail pieces, with feed clearance up to 1/8" on the 1175 and 3/8" on the 1175C and 1175 Pro + PXG. The 1175 Pro + PXG also runs packaging substrates up to 1/2" thick, including padded mailers, bubble packs, small corrugate, and paper bags, making it suitable for both mailing and short-run packaging applications.

Our inkjet systems are faster and more profitable for short-run envelope production than offset, outsourcing, or toner. They eliminate the need for fusers, reducing energy consumption and maintenance. Inkjet technology also provides more durable, water-resistant pigment prints, which is crucial for direct mail and packaging that must withstand handling and the elements.

Variable Data Printing (VDP) allows you to automatically change elements like text, graphics, and addresses from one printed piece to the next without stopping the press. It's essential for creating personalized direct mail, targeted marketing materials, and custom packaging. All our printers support VDP, enabling you to offer high-value, personalized print services to your clients.

Yes, our printers come with an advanced RIP (Raster Image Processor) and workflow software that includes PMS color-matching capabilities. This ensures consistent, accurate brand colors for every job. The system uses ICC profiles and built-in color management tools to deliver professional, predictable results, whether you're printing logos or full-bleed color graphics.
