We do quite a few jobs similar to this. We're using Fusion Pro Desktop, and it works very well. It comes with a built-in imposition program, postal barcode fonts and optimized output streams for quite a few different devices.

As far as running offset shells back through a black and white device, we had a Xerox Docutech and found it to be problematic - multiple jams and breakdowns. We have switched to a Kodak Digimaster, and it works much better. However, we still have issues with offset ink coming off on various parts and causing problems over time. Especially if it's a repetitive graphic that gets run over and over in the same spot.
