When it comes to addressing envelopes, postcards, or packaging, businesses have various printing solutions to choose from. Whether you are a mailing house, an e-commerce business, or an office handling high-volume mail, selecting the right address printer can significantly improve efficiency and professionalism. In this guide, we will explore the key differences between static and variable data address printers, as well as monogram vs. full-colour printing options.
Static Data Printing
Static data printing refers to a process where the same address, logo, or message is printed repeatedly on all envelopes or documents. This is ideal for bulk mailing where every recipient receives identical information. It is typically faster than variable data printing and is commonly used for:
Pre-printed return addresses
Bulk promotional mail
Standardised office mailings
Variable Data Printing
Variable data printing (VDP) enables each piece to be uniquely printed with different addresses, barcodes, or personalised messages. This is particularly useful for direct mail campaigns, invoices, and personalised marketing. The main benefits include:
Personalisation, which improves engagement rates
Efficient bulk mailing with automated data input
Elimination of pre-printed labels, reducing costs
Our range of variable data address printers includes:

Monochrome vs. Full-Colour Address Printing
Monochrome Printing
Monochrome (single-colour) address printers, such as the AS-450, AS-650, and AS-850, use thermal inkjet technology with black ink.
The benefits include:
High-speed printing for bulk mail operations
Cost-effective for standard addressing needs
Ideal for barcode and return address applications
Full-Colour Printing
Full-colour printers, such as the Mach 6, use Memjet® technology, which allows for vivid, high-resolution prints.
Benefits include:
Professional, eye-catching envelopes for direct mail marketing
Ability to print logos, graphics, and multi-colour addresses
Enhanced branding for business mailings
However, full-colour printers typically have a slower print speed than monochrome printers due to their higher resolution output.
