Looking for new offerings or ways to increase efficiency?
Blue Cross Blue Shield of Florida's print and mail facility in Jacksonville may provide you with some valuable ideas. "When it comes to technology, we stay on the leading edge," explains Director Gene Rauch.
The in-plant team produces 330 million print images and 56 million envelopes, as well as managing 144,000 pieces of mail annually.
Tips for Variable Data Printing
"Everything we do is variable data printing," explains Rauch. "You have to match the equipment 
to the job." For example, if you need to print multiple substrates inline, consider cut sheet printers. Even though continuous printers are 3-10 times faster, they limit everything to the same paper or substrate. He goes on to say, "When purchasing continuous forms printers, buy in at the lowest speed that you need. If you need more capacity, it is far less expensive to purchase upgrade speeds than to buy an additional box. It's also better to purchase two slower printers (if space allows) than to buy one fast printer. If a printer goes down, you can still run at 50%, but you're not dead in the water until it is repaired."
