Something for large envelopes? (4c)

[n2_space]

We are looking into something that can print variable 4 color envelopes at least 9x12, and perhaps 10x13 (#10's as well). Seems you either have lower end inkjet/toner based systems (oki/xante/memjet) or offset. Any advice in this area where we can look?

We do VDP envelopes on our Xante Impressia all the time.

I have a KM c1070 with optional modified fuser unit to accommodate for thicker envelopes. I ran 9 x 12, 10 x 13 and #10's all in the last couple of days. Quality is near offset press, just slight sheen from toner, which can be kept to a minimum by selecting Fogra Unct'd. profile. I ran 500 #10's yesterday afternoon and lost 1. It was just a hair too magenta and had to donate it to the recycle bin.

Xante is an amazing machine that's pretty much only good use is for envelopes.

RISO X1 system prints on envelopes of many sizes - done 6 x 9, 10 x 13, #10s and window. Very cheap to operate. Quality not offset-like but acceptable for folks used to ink jet look.

I looked into that one a little, it looks remarkably like the Pitney Bowes DP40s we have. I wonder if they are the same box with newer and better internals? The dp40s has been nothing but headaches for us, if improved it might be a solution.

Thank you for the replies! Will be looking into them.

Xerox Versant 2100 will do it, so will the Xerox Colorpress 800/1000. We run them all the time on our Versant 2100

Everyone is commenting how good they are running envelopes with quality near offset but what about bleeds?
