LaserSubstrates, Inc. Introduces
Transform SoftwareTM for Small Business
The first software that allows existing
Accounting and Office Software to print
Checks, Statements, Invoices and Envelope
in one professional-looking document
|
Boca Raton, Florida - June
17, 2004 - LaserSubstrates, Inc. announces
Transform SoftwareTM, which allows small
to midsize businesses to seamlessly
print documents such as checks, statements,
invoices and envelope onto Transform
Self-Mailer Products from any accounting
software. Transform Software creates
a new printer driver that "transforms"
existing accounting documents to print
onto a single sheet form while adding
personalized external information and
graphics. The Transform Self-Mailer
Products have a professional appearance
that existing small business accounting
software products do not provide.
Once printed, Transform Self-Mailer
products do not require the use of folding
or post-finishing machinery, which can
cost business owners up to $15,000.
LaserSubstrates, Inc. patented technology
is centered on a quick "Lift, Fold and
Seal"TM for simple office use. This
software, developed with the small and
home business in mind, saves time and
money, while producing a professional
document that was previously only available
with the use of finishing equipment.
"We give the customer the choice of
an alternative to what their existing
accounting software is providing," says
Josh Fabel, President of LaserSubstrates,
Inc. "This is the first time a professional-looking
self-mailer, that doesn't require finishing
equipment, has been made available to
this category of business owner."
Transform Software's unique print driver
is made available to any Microsoft Windows
(MSFT) 2000 or XP program that can print
documents. The software works with any
inkjet or laser printer and is compatible
with all major accounting software such
as Intuit's (INTU) QuickBooks or Best
Software's (SGE.L) Peachtree Complete
and other Microsoft Windows (MSFT) Word
applications.
Transform Self-Mailers include:
- Transform Check Set-up Tool - Merges bank, account,
routing numbers, MICR line, legend information and
optional electronic signatures with popular accounting
software information into professional self-mailer
checks on versatile, multi-purpose blank check stock.

All-In-One Label by Laser Substrates is the
Answer to Printing PC Postage
Problem solving design eliminates mismatching.
|
BOCA RATON, Fla.—Warren
M. Fabel, CEO of Laser Substrates, announced
today that the company has unveiled
the All-In-One PC Postage Label, a combination
postage and address label. The label
is self-aligning and self-positioning
to ensure proper placement on mailing
pieces utilizing PC Postage, a program
that allows PC users to turn their computers
and non-impact printers into virtual
postal offices.
Stamps.com (NASDAQ: STMP) and E-Stamp,
have been authorized by the U.S. Postal
Service to sell postage via the Internet.
Pitney Bowes, Inc. (NYSE: PBI) and Neopost,
Inc. are completing Beta testing. The
All-In-One forms by Laser Substrates
will complement the services offered
by these companies by offering consumers
easy-to-use forms that are adapted to
laser and inkjet printers.
The All-In-One form offers several important
user benefits. It is the first to offer
guaranteed alignment and proper position
automatically. "Laser printers print
a ¼ inch from the top of the envelope.
Postal service regulations require a
FIM mark no further than an 1/8 of an
inch from the edge. Our forms eliminate
that problem," Fabel said.
Laser Substrates markets two-on-a-page
and six-on-a-page All-In-One products,
making the forms easy to use for consumers
who need to print single as well as
multiple labels.
"This is the future of mailing and we’re
please to announce that we have a versatile,
simple form that consumers can use without
hassle or wasted time," Fabel said.
Laser Substrates, headquartered in Boca
Raton, Fla., researches, develops and
manufactures automated postal form products.
The company creates technological solutions
in the ever-changing world of mailing.
In the last five years alone, Laser
Substrates has initiated more than 35
problem-solving postal applications,
designed to automate the mailing process
for small and large corporations. All-In-One
is one of several Laser Substrate products
that will integrate with the USPS’s
PC Postage.

"The Ultimate
Strategic Alliance"
Automation drives ease of use for USPS
By Josh Fabel, Director of Business
Development, Laser Substrates, Inc
. |
The United State Postal Service
is progressive in developing the agency
into a truly high tech organization
to deliver the ever increasing stream
of hard copy communications. USPS successfully
built a web-based infrastructure to
facilitate the future of delivery and
tracking. Its new Confirmation of Delivery
service was initiated in March 1999.
In addition, the USPS is updating the
numbering systems for Special Services
such as, Certified Mail and Registered
Mail to 128 barcode symbology. This
change will facilitate delivery confirmation,
for these services as well, by year
end. Perhaps the most exciting yet is
USPS’s development of PC Postage.
This web based system will revolutionize
the future of mail.
With its far reaching approach, the
USPS is positioned to solidify and expand
into its traditional markets. To further
enhance its growth and ease of use,
the USPS has embraced the cooperative
efforts of postal suppliers in the private
sector. This ultimate strategic alliance
provides seamless benefits from one
winning situation to another. Ideally,
the partners in a strategic alliance
help one another to make cost-effective
benefits available and convenient to
the end user.
A case in point: Laser Substrate, Inc.,
the premier developer of automated postal
forms, has created relationships with
progressive mail management and shipping
systems to integrate the automation
of USPS Special and Expedited Services
into their software.
Everybody wins. USPS Special Services
are not available from other vendors.
Expedited Delivery Services through
USPS generally cost less than private
carriers. By automating these products
and services, more mailers will utilize
the USPS. Software developers win by
enhancing their system and making it
more attractive to current and potential
users. The end user benefits with the
economy and ease of application of a
fully integrated comprehensive mailing
or shipping system. Laser Substrates
Inc. drives the alliance by continuously
improving its products so that the all-important
next generation of Automated Postal
Forms are ready when its strategic partners
require them. To achieve this feat,
Laser Substrates devotes more than 5%
of its gross revenues to research and
development.
The key to a successful strategic alliance
is the trust and confidence that enables
the parties to jointly develop proactive
products and services. What’s
next? Laser Substrates has developed
automated Customs Declaration and Dispatch
Form 2976A and Confirmation of Delivery
Form 152. PC Postage, which began beta
testing in 1998, is about to become
commercially available and PC Postage
specific forms for all Special and Expedited
Services are ready to go. At this time,
many software developers are integrating
these new products into their systems
for early introduction.
An alliance to be more competitive
United Parcel Services traditional h2
hold in the area of small parcel delivery—especially
residential—has diminished with
the strength of the USPS’s introduction
of confirmation and tracking, in conjunction
with complimentary software from mail
management and shipping management companies.
Business to residence is a lucrative
market, one in which USPS has upgraded
its services. Business to residence
is attracted to the fact that USPS provides
residential service and Sunday delivery
without excessive surcharges. Now that
USPS offers quick confirmation service
and tools that allow small shippers
to capitalize on these savings.
The software connection
Laser Substrates simplifies integration
of its automated forms into companion
softwares by providing electronic formats
and DLLs. The result is uniformity in
meeting postal requirements. Individual
software developers therefore, don’t
have to start at ground zero. USPS can
be assured a "seamless, no- complications"
process from supplier through user through
postal service. Laser Substrates welcomes
additional alliances with software companies
to further expand the success of the
strategic alliance.
It all works together
Every form that Laser Substrates has
developed fulfills USPS requirements,
while making ease of use the prime consideration
for the mailer.
It’s no secret that postal processing
costs directly influence postal rates
as controlled by the Postal Rate Commission.
The easier the operation (eliminating
extra handling and labor costs), the
greater the savings to the end user.
However, there’s no time to rest. To maintain the
ultimate strategic alliance, the company that drives the
automation has to be responsive and proactive to changes
in needs and mailing technologies.

For Immediate Release – January

Historically, property managers
have utilized 2-way mailers for invoices
and statements. Previous impact products
have been subjected to an exceptionally
high reject rate from postal sorting
equipment. Required multiple sorts have
a tendency to damage these mailers.
Additionally, the last 15 years has
seen a preponderance of non-impact printers
replacing dot matrix units. This trend
will reach its zenith shortly. The next
generation of Windows operating software
will not support impact printers at
all.
Laser Substrates, Inc. is excited to
offer, as a result of 5 years of research
and development, the AutoSeal™
2-Way Self-Mailer. Laser Substrates,
Inc. refused to compromise any facet
of this product. AutoSeal includes all
of the features that have been requested
by property managers using a laser printable
format.
The USPS approved form has been developed
encompassing the following features.
AutoSeal self-mailers require no commitment
to expensive folder/sealing equipment.
The AutoSeal mailer is self-forming
and a totally generic multi purpose
form. It prints in a single pass through
a laser printer.
AutoSeal includes the ability to print
USPS post-net bar codes on both outgoing
and return envelopes to expedite cash
flow. A safety pantograph on the inside
of the return envelope protects the
integrity of tenant rent checks. The
return voucher is sized to fit within
the return envelope, no folding to insert
and no unfolding to apply payment. The
inclusive return envelope may be simultaneously
laser printed with a third party address,
or used in multiple lock boxes. The
return envelope may also be used to
carry a positive I.D. to identify the
check even if the tenant has omitted
the return voucher.
Software to generate AutoSeal is currently
available for Skyline users. The response
from Skyline users has been so positive
that all other property management software
will quickly integrate this mailer.
For more information on integration as well as a DLL to
simplify this task, software publishers should contact
Ed Rosman, software coordinator. Property managers should
call Laser Substrates, Inc. 1-800-538-4900 for test samples
and availability of applications to run this form with
your current software. |

with the software's address standardization
to bring large mailroom capability to
the desktop user.

tool to standardize and barcode addresses.

it makes it very easy for any size company or office that sends out
certified mail or reminder postcards to standardize and barcode it’s

chore of re-keying.
According to Ascom’s national
director of marketing, Michael L. Vujnovich;
Most software simply helps with list cleansing and address
correction. What sets Address Dictionary apart from these others
is that it actually creates Certified Mail forms for the mailer!
This is added value you don’t get elsewhere.
