Thanks for your input, we have someone who will train us on all aspects of the processing/printing/mailing over the next month or so. I will make sure I post a detailed explanation of how this goes over the coming weeks.

My apologies, i'm learning from my mistakes though...our current postcard size is 14cm x 9.5cm The print speed is not really a big issue for us, we have the time to baby the printer and take our time learning the software, we usually format the variable data a week ahead and send to the printer...

Thanks so much for your posts MailGuru, your input is appreciated. I'm still on track to attempt this myself it looks like. The cost to subcontract is too much and the confidentiality I need with my projects also is prohibitive to sub out this work going forward. I would like to put the thread...

I understand this and I feel I am being raped by local print shops by the quote's I'm getting which is why I would rather learn to do this myself. There is also a level of confidentiality that I want with my postcard direct mail printing which pushes me to want to do the printing in house. I am...

I have found a triumph guillotine on craigslist locally for $500, practically brand new. Also I plan on getting a paper jogger for around $50 via ebay. I had planned to use InDesign for the layout. This 242 comes with external Fiery EX260 with Impose, Graphic Arts Premium Package. My background...
