Solutions for Mailing & Finishing
Transactional Mail
Production and fulfillment of statements, invoices, credit cards and election services documents require verification systems to identify errors and prove production integrity with absolute results. Document processors are concerned with more than customer retention as privacy and integrity errors can have serious liability implications. Lake Image Systems’ comprehensive reporting and tracking capabilities allow our customers to identify errors as they occur and prove the integrity of the final product. Since transactional production errors typically occur during peak production cycles, our track record of the lowest average mean-time between systems failures and superior remote support ensures that mission-critical work is inspected and verified with the utmost reliability.
Direct Mail/Publishing
For over 20 years, Lake Image Systems has delivered comprehensive direct mail verification for mailing and direct marketing processes. With cameras, scanners, and software specifically designed for a wide variety of mail production equipment, including sealed cameras which require no adjustment, our solutions are quickly adapted to the changing needs of this market. Our direct mail verification solutions allow clients to improve productivity while enabling legacy equipment to handle current, highly variable applications. Our clients not only achieve the quality their customers expect but do so with a technology suite which enables them to aggressively pursue new business opportunities.
Bindery and Finishing
Today’s bindery departments and service providers have a myriad of finishing equipment from guillotines and trimmers, folders and creasers, collators and booklet-makers to binders and laminators which gives them the flexibility to offer a wide range of finishing capabilities. Most of these require skilled personnel to precisely configure, setup and to constantly monitor, in order to ensure that a perfect booklet, catalog, magazine or bounded document is produced every time.
However, when something goes wrong it can be both time-consuming to trace the exact problem to a specific step or equipment, and very costly to reconfigure and set-up the various processing steps again to reproduce the work.
