Pitney Bowes W660 Printer Review

Pitney Bowes provides a number of options for high-volume envelope addressing, and the AddressRight W660 is an impressive inkjet model that can reach a throughput speed of up to 9,000 pieces per hour. It is somewhat limited in its connection options, with only a serial and parallel port available, but buyers will appreciate low costs on Pitney Bowes W660 printer ink.

The W660 can certainly make short work of a large volume of envelopes, and is a great choice for an office with a lot of mailing to do. It is important to consider the limiting factors when looking at its speed rating, however. The unit can reach 600x600 dpi resolution, but this will slow down output speeds, and maximum speeds are only possible at the 300 dpi quality setting. The speed can also be limited by the user's interaction, as the input stacker only holds up to 200 envelopes at a time.

The W660 can accept a variety of media types, including postcards, self mailers, paper, envelopes, and tabbed booklets. It can handle sizes up to .118 inches thick, with a maximum width of 12.5 inches and height of 15 inches. Fonts are downloaded along with the addresses, so the machine does not need to store them.

The system uses the same type of printer ink as standard inkjet models, which keeps the cost of AddressRight W660 ink cartridges low. Buyers can choose between standard Pitney Bowes W660 ink cartridges, or "fast dry" versions that can help reduce smearing and smudging. Compatible AddressRight W660 ink makes a cost-effective alternative to OEM versions.

If buyers don't find the serial and parallel ports to be a serious limitation, the W660 is a good buy at its affordable price, and provides quick and simple addressing functions. The price of Pitney Bowes W660 ink is another advantage for those with limited budgets.
