What types of businesses use digital printing solutions?
Digital printing solutions are used by commercial printers, direct mail providers, mailing service companies, fulfillment centers, packaging operations, educational institutions, government print teams, and in-house corporate print departments. They are especially useful for organizations that need fast turnarounds, short runs, variable-data output, or the flexibility to bring previously outsourced work into their own operation.
How can digital inkjet printing reduce production costs?
Digital inkjet printing can lower costs by reducing makeready, prepress work, and material waste associated with traditional workflows. iJetColor systems require minimal setup—often one to two envelopes—so teams can transition quickly between jobs. This makes short runs more economical and helps operations manage personalized or versioned work without the plates and lengthy preparation required by offset printing.
Can iJetColor systems print variable data?
Yes. iJetColor digital printing solutions support variable-data printing, allowing operations to personalize names, addresses, offers, images, or other content from piece to piece. This capability is valuable for direct mail, targeted promotions, transactional communications, and campaign work where relevant personalization can improve response while maintaining a streamlined production workflow.
How fast are iJetColor digital printing systems?
Production speed depends on the specific iJetColor system and application. The iJetColor 1175 Pro + PXG is designed for high-volume envelope production at more than 10,000 envelopes per hour, while the benchtop 1175 runs up to 7,000 #10 envelopes per hour and the 1275 Pro reaches up to 20,000. Reviewing substrate requirements, job mix, print coverage, and monthly volume helps determine which configuration best fits an operation’s throughput goals.
What does iJetColor training and certification include?
The iJetColor Training & Certification Program includes three live, one-hour classes held every Friday. It is available at no cost to customers enrolled in iJet Advantage and is designed to build usable operating knowledge. Participants who complete all three classes become iJetColor Certified and receive $1,000 off their next Preventative Maintenance service.
What does the iJetAdvantage agreement cover?
iJetAdvantage is our service and supply agreement for iJetColor owners. It includes 24/7 free phone technical support at (800) 456-1400 ext 2, with a live response guaranteed within 60 minutes during business hours, a first-year warranty on non-wearable parts, discounts on ink and wearable parts, free unlimited training, remote web diagnostics, firmware upgrades, iJetWizard access, and next-day replacement printheads and spare parts, helping minimize production interruption.
How durable is the printed output?
iJetColor presses print with pigment-based HP ink that is water, fade, and scratch resistant. That durability supports applications where handling, mailing, and exposure to moisture are important considerations. Actual performance should still be validated against each substrate and application requirement, and we can send a sample kit printed on your stock.
How do I determine the right digital printing solution for my operation?
Start by evaluating your typical run lengths, monthly volume, substrates, color requirements, personalization needs, turnaround expectations, and current production bottlenecks. Also consider which work is outsourced today and whether bringing it in-house could improve control and profitability. An iJetColor representative can use those operational details to help identify an appropriate system and support plan.
