Direct mail fulfilment and print management services provider, Baker Goodchild has purchased three Ricoh Pro 8120S laser printers, an AstroJet 3800 inkjet printer, and a new Kern 2500 Multimailer mailing and inserting machine.
The Ricoh Pro 8120S is a cut-sheet advanced technology printer, capable of speeds up to 135 pages per minute and a 1,200 x 4,800 dpi resolution capability, ideal for reports, booklets, newsletters and many other print applications.
The AstroJet 3800 represents a further significant investment for Baker Goodchild, and is a high speed printer that can produce up to 30,000 pieces per hour at 600 x 600 dpi quality, printing in one pass, making it ideal for bulk mailing applications.
The Kern 2500 is a high speed document mail finishing and inserting system, capable of handling a combination of processes, including both vertical and horizontal folding as well as the processing of various sizes and thicknesses due to its advanced technology. The folding and feeder stations can all accommodate high stack capacity, and can be loaded with inserts, with speeds of up to 12,000 envelopes per hour.
Managing director, Lorraine Burnell, said, ‘The direct mail industry is becoming very demanding and as a growing mailing house we are constantly investing and upgrading our machinery. The output that we had from our previous Ricoh machines was great however when we enquired about the Ricoh Pro 8120S we were impressed with the capacity, output and laser cut technology utilised within these machines. We find our current printing and fulfilment machines constantly in use fulfilling our customers’ expectations so it made sense to purchase additional machines to keep the work flow consistent and maintain the deliverability for our customers mailing on time to reach their targeted audiences on time.’
