Streamlined color migration. P/I Wizard document development capabilities are designed to help you accelerate color migration, as operations replace pre-printed offset shells and migrate black-and-white applications to plain-paper color printing.
Processing integrity and automated reprint. With P/I Wizard, print-to-mail operations can apply barcodes, create piece-level tracking files, and index print files to simplify or automate reprint processing, optimize processing integrity and efficiency, and meet regulatory compliance.
Add promotional value to legacy statements. Users can easily create TransPromo applications by leveraging pre-planned or remnant white space for targeted messaging. Legacy statements and customer communications can be transformed into TransPromo documents without changing document composition processes.
