• The Bryce 30K address and barcode printer is built for demanding applications requiring speed, quality, and durability. Its simple yet rugged design offers high performance and the reliability you need in the industrial mail processing industry, at a cost far less than larger, more cumbersome printers.

Our 30K Inkjet Printer is designed for printing over 30,000 postcards or 25,000 envelopes per hour. Barcodes and other graphics can be printed anywhere on the mail piece at resolutions of 150,200,300 or 600 dpi, using renowned Hewlett-Packard inkjet technology. By recognizing postal codes in the address, the 30K can automatically generate postal barcodes.

In addition to supporting any Windows-compatible font, addresses can be printed with up to 12 different internal fonts, which are scalable from 4 to 30 point sizes, and can be combined with such styles as bold, italic, outline, and with varying widths. With all of these attributes, you could create 11,040 different fonts for each character! Bryce is the only company in the world that offers such a wide range of typefaces.

• A revolutionary new way of tracking your mail as it travels through the Postal Service. Just by going to a web site you can find out if and when your mail has been delivered.

• PLANET codes, a barcode technology developed by the Postal Service that allows mailers to print an additional barcode on a mail piece that provides the Postal Service with tracking information on that piece. Every time a mail piece goes through a barcode sorter, the PLANET code is read and the whereabouts of that piece is captured. That same data is transmitted to TrackMyMail.com™ who then compiles the data and provides us with easy to read, easy to use data, generally within a couple of hours of the scan!

• You can print your own PLANET codes, and use Trackmymail.com for your tracking services. The system will provide you with a PLANET code number and all of the forms you need to turn in with your mailing. The system is designed to work for the small business user.

• Our mail tracking kit, the tracKIT™ provides you with preprinted peel-and-stick PLANET code labels that you can use for sampling your mail. You don't need to develop new barcode printing technologies. with a tracKIT™ everything you need is in one easy to use kit.

• You just register your mailing on the web, apply the PLANET codes to a sampling or every piece, and go back to the web site to watch the delivery results. No software installation is needed just a Web browser.
