The PostJet 500 Postal Series
Postjet 550/560 printers are leading the
way in high speed and hi-resolution inkjet printing.
The PostJet 500 series systems are industrial quality inkjet systems with a separate controller. It supports standalone operation as well as host interfaces including RS422, RS232, Ethernet and discrete I/O for embedded applications. Each controller facilitates two independent host interfaces for embedded applications.
Key characteristics of the PostJet print-stations are print engine heights that range from 10mm to 51mm at line speeds of up to 5000mm/s. Each model has 128 or 256 individually addressable channels and prints resolutions range from 108dpi to 325dpi.
The original innovation that continues to lead the way in high-speed high-resolution inkjet envelope communication.

Specifically designed to perform in the challenging postal environment. The 550 and 560 (500 series) printers are ideal for two sided or dual zone printing, featuring a separate controller that can host two independent interfaces for embedded applications. Typical applications include:
- Two sided stamp cancellation
- Barcodes (1D and 2D)
- Addressing and re-addressing
- Indicia Printing
- Promotion or slogan printing.
