"Armando brought Jeff, an industry vet- eran, into the company two years ago. Since joining Xerox, Jeff has demonstrated his knowledge, leadership and pas- sion for the business and our customers.

I'm confident the business is in extremely capable hands with Jeff." MyPRINTResource.com/10008702 Kodak Names New Chief Financial Ofcer John N.

By integrating with IWCO Direct's digital print technology, the Inveloper provides direct marketers the ability to increase direct mail open and response rates through more creative and personalized outer envelopes and selective inserting. Enhancing direct mail campaign performance with increased personalization capabilities was an important criteria when IWCO Direct made strategic investments in digital printing technology. This included adding multiple Océ ColorStream 3900 digital inkjet printers across its platform. "Bringing the Inveloper into our production platform is another tool to help our customers produce direct mail packages that are more relevant to recipients and standout in the mailbox," explained Jim Andersen, IWCO Direct chief executive officer. "At the same time, we'll see increased production efficiencies and improved quality. We're excited about the unique benefits the In- veloper brings to our customers." The Inveloper improves production quality by combining envelope production and inserting into a single, more efficient process. By wrapping the contents instead of inserting, the potential for paper jams, work stoppage and production delays is eliminated. In addition, less paper is used and postage costs are reduced by decreasing the weight of the mailpiece. MyPRINTResource.com/10117888
