I’m searching for a color envelope printer to generate marketing messages along with the return address and delivery address. I do primarily # 10 envelopes and postcards. I want something that would allow me to print these pieces on demand so I don’t have to rely on my local printer. He won’t print small quantities and I would prefer to do things on demand. I would appreciate your thoughts and recommendations. -Parvat
Expert Recommends: Rena Imager CS
Address in COLOR and get noticed!
Hello Parvat and thank you for your question and for visiting AllForMailers.com. When it comes to address printers that provide color there are only a few options. The majority of the products that you see on our website are designed to print in a single color. If you are printing less than 40,000 per month I would strongly consider the Rena Imager CS.

It has the highest color print resolution on the market at 1200dpi and is the lowest price color address printer at $5,995.00. It uses HP photosmart software that will actually generate a picture on your mailpiece along with your return ad delivery address all in full color.
The drawback to the unit is its speed. It will only generate 1500-2000 per hour when printing in multiple areas on the mailpiece. Also, the HP ink cartridges that it uses do not come in a quick dry formula. Therefore, if the postcard you are generating has a gloss coating on both sides you will have drying issues and will have to add a conveyor with a heater dryer. If this speed is satisfactory and your postcard has a regular finish the Rena Imager CS will print your entire piece in high resolution color. This will allow you to handle all of your printing and addressing in one pass and give you the ability to handle your direct marketing in an on demand basis. If you would like to discuss your application in further detail don’t hesitate to contact me.

We have been looking for a hight quality color address printer. We looked at a Secap SA3150 but the color print quality was not acceptable. Can someone compair the Rena Imager CS and the Secap 3150 for me?
Print Quality / Image Quality the Imager CS wins hands down! Printing at up to 4800 x 1200 dpi
It is based on newer HP technology.
The CS uses the C6656AN (HP 56) for Black and
HP 58 Photo Ink Cartridge, HP C6658AN or HP 57 Ink Cartridge, HP C6657AN for color
The Secap / PB color addressing systems like the 3150 use
HP 41 Color Ink Cartridge, HP 51641A for color and to my knowledge, HP no longer makes any printers that still use this cartridge.
If consistent color and quality are not all that important to you, and you have a need for speed, then consider the Secap 3150.
