products & services featured product AS-960 Address Printer Neopost introduces the AS-960, the latest addition to its line of desktop address printing systems. Quickly and easily printing addresses, barcodes and graphics anywhere on envelopes, the Neopost AS-960 is designed to increase productivity while providing a high quality, professional image aimed at increasing direct mail response rates. As a complementary product to the company’s existing desktop address printers, the AS-960 is a rugged, reliable unit that can handle up to two million duty cycles per month, and it offers outstanding print quality with a high 600 dpi resolution. Images are sharp, crisp and easily readable, conveying a more professional appearance to increase appeal and response of the receiver. In addition to addresses and barcodes, users can further increase direct mail efforts and customer communications by easily printing personalized messages directly onto the mail piece. By leveraging CASS-certiﬁed address management software, the AS-960 automatically conﬁrms and corrects addresses to eliminate undeliverable mail. With automatic address validation, the AS-960 lends itself to postal automation discounting, reducing overall mailing operation costs. www.neopostinc.com ing List Envelopes utilize adhesives that adhere well to paper, plastic, wood, glass and metal.
