Orlando-based SunDance Marketing Solutions is expanding its large-format porftolio with the purchase of an HP Latex 3000 Printer at Graph Expo 2014. With a long history as a satisfied HP Indigo customer, HP was a natural first choice for the company in its search for new wide-format equipment.

“At SunDance, we tend to think bigger is better and we were determined to acquire a large-format device that not only meets our current needs, but blows the competion away,” said JohnHenry Ruggieri, director of operations, SunDance. “We are thrilled about the new possiblities the HP Latex 3000 Printer brings and are confident the printer will deliver on its promise.”

SunDance Marketing Solutions Increases Finishing Capabilities with New Duplo Machine
SunDance Marketing Solutions, a full-service Orlando marketing and printing company, is thrilled to announce the purchase of a Duplo DC-646 Slitter/Cutter/Creaser/Folder. The new machine allows for efficient, precise and flexible finishing for digital color documents.
The new DC-646 will take the place of folders and guillotine cutters. With the Integrated Folding System, the DC-646 can perform slitting, cutting, creasing and folding capabilities in a single pass. While the manual operators at SunDance have always been committed to excellence and perfection, the automation and precision of the Duplo DC-646 is like a shortcut to unparalleled accuracy. Projects like business cards, slit-score greeting cards, micro-perforated coupons, direct mailers with tear-away cards and more can be produced quickly in-house - and with great cost savings. “What previously might have taken us days or hours can now be produced in minutes,” says Director of Operations JohnHenry Ruggieri. “We are incredibly excited to be able to improve our accuracy and turnaround time while decreasing costs for our clients.”
SunDance works closely with many Fortune 500 and medium-sized companies to produce online ordering systems for folded business cards, small brochures and other print products that may need to be ordered on a recurring basis. With the new DC-646, print runs become faster and more accurate, even further removing the headache often caused by complicated print ordering. And for projects that might require a reorder in the future, the machine also features a CCD scanner, allowing it to scan a barcode, recall any job stored in memory, then set up the job identical to the previous run.
SunDance Marketing Solutions Adds Valuable In-House Mailing Services
SunDance Marketing Solutions, an Orlando-based commercial printer and marketing services provider, has announced the availability of new mailing services with their recent addition of new warehouse space and mail automation equipment. “Processing mass-mailing projects at the same facility you print them can prevent transit delays and provide significant shipping savings,” says JohnHenry Ruggieri, Director of Operations at SunDance Marketing Solutions. “We are incredibly happy to continue expanding our services.” With the addition of these new mailing capabilities, printed mailing pieces can now be designed, printed and mailed all from one location.
Brand new, high-end mailing automation equipment also helps to eliminate errors in processing and insertion. A new inserting machine, the Buhrs BB300 owned by W+D North America, for example, features an Intelligent Control System that helps to eliminate any faults caused by missed or double inserts. Not only are these machines less error-prone than human processing, they are also fast, processing tens of thousands of pieces per hour. The new warehouse space also includes a Kirk-Rudy Inkjet-Tabbing System (which gives clients the ability to produce effective and interactive scratch-off sections for mailers) and a Fugitive Glue Machine.
“Adding on these services is also incredibly important to our commitment to environmental protection and sustainability,” says Ruggieri. As the first certified offset Sustainable Green Printer in the state of Florida, SunDance has constantly strived to be at the cutting edge of environmental policy. By offering customers the opportunity to print and ship from the same facility, SunDance can be a partner in helping to offset carbon emissions and to make the most responsible environmental decisions.
Knowledgeable mail services personnel are on hand to choose the most appropriate, efficient and budget-friendly mailing options for each project, including 3-dimensional or uniquely shaped mailers. They also take advantage of powerful automation software, which can verify addresses and bar coding to ensure complete mailing accuracy.
Direct mail still produces fantastic response rates, and variable data printing can improve responses by significant and measurable numbers. SunDance’s revolutionary HP Indigo printer allows for personalized messaging, pictures and offers, and making quality one-on-one connections via direct mail is easier than ever. “Our goal is to produce a beautiful, effective and memorable campaign that is produced on-time and on-budget,” says Ruggieri, “and our new mailing services are the perfect way to help those pieces cross the finish line.”
