Possibilities of Image One, Print One (IOPO)
The following list of applications shows the possibilities of Image One, Print One
(IOPO) machines. It illustrates the hundreds of applications that can be created.
And this list is just the beginning – use it to explore other applications specific to
your market and your customers. With DICOpress, DICOpack, imagination is your
limit!
Definition of requirements:
 Quality – the application requires a higher print quality as compared to the
quality achieved on standard copier type technology.
 MicroRuns – we define MicroRuns as short run lengths typically between
1 and 500 copies or pieces. For example a MicroRun can be 500
invitations, 100 booklets, or 5000 direct mail pieces split into 500 copies at
a time for versioning.
 Special Format – for DICOpress and DICOpack products, the application
may be printed in a special or oversize format such as a banner format,
oversized A3, A2, etc. This is one of the strongest advantages for
DICOpress and DICOpack.
 Personalization – the application uses 100% personalization of any
element on each copy. For example, every piece may have a different
image, graphic, text number, bar code, or address. It can be gender
specific, demographically or interest specific to true one-to-one marketing.
