Using Your Own Printer

Enthusem has a network of print vendors that will be used by default when you use the Enthusem software, however if you are a printer or have a print relationship you can print on your own!

Requirements to print on your own:

• Enthusem Enterprise Level Account
• Credits for Digital Features available in your Enthusem account
• A printer with a digital press & postal indicia
• Send the PDF that's attached to this article to your printer to ensure they can print it

Here's what Enthusem will do:

• Combine all mailers that are scheduled for accounts associated to your printer
• Presort & generate postal paperwork
• Compose a PDF file, in presort order, with all mailers for that day
• Post the PDF file to an FTP site

Your printer will need to:

• Decide the day of the week and frequency they can commit to mailing
  • For example:
    
    • Every weekday
    • Every Friday
    • Every other Friday, etc
• Download the print ready file down from an FTP site
• Print the PDF file on a digital press
  • Traditional Enthusem self mailer size
    • Flat file is 5.7" wide by 8.693" tall
    • Includes .125" bleed on all sides 
  • Trim off .125" bleed
• Add tabs or glue to comply with postal guidelines
• Prepare the mail for the post office, keeping it in sort order
• Deliver mail to the local BMEU in the city of your postal permit
