InfoPrint Showcases Solutions to Drive Customer Revenues at OnDemand 2009

PHILADELPHIA, PA, Mar 30 (MARKET WIRE) --
InfoPrint Solutions Company, a joint venture between IBM and Ricoh, today
announces its lineup of market-leading solutions for the commercial print
industry to be shown at booth 1824# at OnDemand 2009, from March 30th to
April 2nd 2009.

InfoPrint will showcase solutions from its comprehensive portfolio
including its suite of TransPromo Solutions; Print On Demand (POD)
technologies for high quality, high speed monochrome and color output to
reduce book production costs and improve productivity; and Automated
Document Factory (ADF), designed to solve the challenges of postal
optimization and mailroom integrity.

These will run on InfoPrint printers such as the recently launched
InfoPrint Pro C900. This color cutsheet platform bridges the mid-range gap
between production machines such as the full-color drop-on-demand
InfoPrint 5000 and monochrome InfoPrint 4100, and the company's existing
cutsheet portfolio. It also enables the creation of dynamic digital
output, which is ideal for in-plant and print-for-pay customers with
monthly volumes of 50,000 to 240,000 pages. At OnDemand, the InfoPrint
100 will also be on display. This is one of InfoPrint's latest continuous
forms digital output solutions, providing high throughput and integrity
for companies who print client invoices, direct marketing mailings,
labels and distribution center picking slips.

"InfoPrint continues to work with our clients to bring them the offerings
and information they need to grow revenues and respond to current market
conditions, all while creating sustainable, cost-effective output," said
Sandra Zoratti, Vice President, Global Marketing Manager at InfoPrint.
"Ensuring our clients are learning about the latest techniques is a key
part of that drive. Through initiatives such as our Meet the Experts
program, we continue to educate and promote innovative implementation
techniques for today's environment."

InfoPrint's Print On Demand (POD) workflow solution will be on show at
GraphExpo 2009. This cover and book block workflow system includes
web-to-print ordering, pre-press automation, imposition and output
management. InfoPrint strategic partner iWay will demonstrate automated
cover and book block flow, with imposition from Ultimate and scanning from
IOFlex. This software is used in a production environment conjunction with
machines such as the InfoPrint 4100, a continuous forms printer that
produces high quality monochrome output that is typically only available
using cutsheet solutions. The InfoPrint 4100 also delivers some of the
highest speeds currently on the market for electrophotographic printers
and allows for the production of more output with less operator time.

TransPromo is a key part of the InfoPrint portfolio and the OnDemand team
will be showcasing the results of its successful implementations at one of
the top US cable operators and leading hotel group, Best Western
International. These campaigns showcase how recent innovations in the
digital printing industry have set new standards in quality and
affordability, and validate the fact that color and personalization added
to bills and statements effectively enhances readability, and incites a
response. InfoPrint's team of TransPromo consultants will be on hand to
discuss these implementations and the value of combining data analytics
and customized content directly on monthly customer bills, using
InfoPrint's TransPromo calculator to demonstrate the return on investment
the technique brings.

Other InfoPrint solutions on show include InfoPrint ProcessDirector (IPPD)
with Mailroom Integrity and AFP editor for Windows, for basic Intelligent
Mail(R) Barcode capability.

Meet the Experts Professional Services and Consulting Program

At OnDemand 2009, InfoPrint will host its popular "Meet the Experts" forum
series. The Experts are members of InfoPrint's Professional Services and
Consulting teams who will be on hand at the show to help both existing and
potential customers find a way to implement innovative industry
techniques.

The forums at GraphExpo will focus on key solutions areas such as
TransPromo with the workshop showcasing InfoPrint's five-step approach to
transitioning to this technique. This starts with an initial two-day
workshop to clarify customers' existing environment, requirements and
initial roadmap. Subsequent steps include assessment time, a pilot phase,
and then transition of applications to a TransPromo solution, with the
final stage being implementation of enterprise level TransPromo.
