STAMFORD, Conn.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Pitney Bowes (NYSE:PBI), a global technology company that provides innovative products and solutions to power commerce, today announced that global payments solutions provider TSYS has selected the Pitney Bowes IntelliJet 20 Printing System to expand its high-quality color transactional printing capabilities. The new agreement expands a 30-year partnership between the two companies.

To meet increasing expectations for advanced color and finishing techniques from their customer base, TSYS invested in new inkjet technology that would provide more efficient and cost effective high-quality color printing. After a competitive RFP process in which TSYS designed and created extensive test files that pushed the limitations of printing equipment, the company decided to purchase two IntelliJet 20 Printing Systems for high-speed, full-color digital inkjet printing.

As a long-term partner, TSYS is already deploying Pitney Bowes inserters, software and postage meters across its varied business segments. TSYS said the Pitney Bowes IntelliJet 20 Printing System “shined above the competition in terms of quality and efficiency” during a rigorous RFP testing process. TSYS executives were impressed with the print quality delivered by the IntelliJet. The IntelliJet printing system will be optimized to work seamlessly with their existing inserting technology from Pitney Bowes.

“TSYS is invested in the future of payments and the role that transactional printing plays in an integrated physical and digital solution,” said Blake Barker, Group Executive, TSYS. “With the Pitney Bowes IntelliJet 20 Printing Systems, we aim to not only increase efficiency and improve the quality of our digital color printing, we also plan to consider new growth and cross-sell opportunities with our customers.”

Designed to meet the needs of transactional print and mail operations, the Pitney Bowes IntelliJet 20 Printing System replaces – and outperforms – existing inkjet or toner-based devices as it delivers greater operational and business impact producing higher value communications for less. A flexible and upgradeable platform, the system enables high volume operations to produce personalized, transactional mailings in full inkjet color, efficiently and cost effectively.

Pitney Bowes offers the industry’s broadest range of inkjet format sizes. Its portfolio includes the AcceleJet, IntelliJet 20 HD, IntelliJet 30 HD, and IntelliJet 42 HD.

The IntelliJet 20 solution will be on display in the Pitney Bowes booth at Hunkeler Innovationdays from February 20 to 23, 2017, in Lucerne, Switzerland.
