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.
- Self-Mailer Check - Single voucher, secure check mailer with all
the necessary MICR encoding, for live printing on universal, multipurpose
check stock.
- OneWay Self-Mailer - Designed for invoice, statements, notice, direct
mail, correspondence, or any application where a letter is printed
and mailed.
- TwoWay Self-Mailer - Designed for documents that require remittance
and return envelope.
- OneWay Self-Mailer Stationary - A single sheet integrated envelope
and letterhead for corporate communications.

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.

Laser Substrates Introduces Automated Customs
Declaration and Dispatch Forms
Problem solving design eliminates aggravation and complexity associated
with the manual form.
|
BOCA RATON, Fla.—Warren
M. Fabel, CEO of Laser Substrates, has announced the company
received approval by the United States Postal Service (USPS)
for its Customs Declaration and Dispatch forms 2976 and
2976A. These latest forms, developed by Laser Substrates,
will revolutionize the way parcels move around the world.

firm has developed a reputation for solving mailing hassles
through time- and money-saving automation.
The automated Customs Declaration and Dispatch Note forms
2976 (CN22) and 2976A (CP72) solve the challenge of manually
filling out traditional Customs Declaration Forms. The
2976 and 2976A forms are regulated by the Universal Postal
Union (UPU) in Bern, Switzerland and are utilized by all
189 of its postal members. They are used for international

as well as for acceptability of the contents under the
laws of the receiving country.
"Companies exporting all types of goods--even goods
of no monetary value--will use these forms," Fabel
says. "The forms will capture the emerging demands
of the Small Office Home Office (SOHO) market, which is
growing along with the use of the Internet. Entrepreneurs

are automatically completed with one pass through a laser
printer.

of all sizes that do international business. Software developers
who publish export, shipping or mail management software
can integrate the formats into their programs to provide
additional convenience to their clients.
Laser Substrates 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. The company is now working

"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 strong 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. |

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. |
