For years, Xante has been a familiar name in envelope printing. Many businesses, print shops, election offices, and mailing operations built workflows around Xante equipment because there simply weren’t many viable alternatives.
But the industry has changed.
Print volumes are higher. Turnaround times are tighter. Budgets are scrutinized. And businesses now expect speed, reliability, and flexibility without constant maintenance or complicated setups.
That’s where the Print Star 1000 steps in — and why more organizations are moving on from legacy envelope printing systems.
Why Businesses Are Rethinking Xante Systems
While Xante systems once filled an important role, many organizations are now encountering limitations that slow production and increase operational strain:
-
Longer setup times when switching envelope sizes
-
Increased maintenance and downtime
-
Limited flexibility with modern print environments
-
Equipment that struggles to keep pace with today’s production demands
In environments where every minute counts, these issues can quickly turn into lost productivity and missed deadlines.
The Print Star 1000 was designed specifically to address these challenges.
Introducing the Print Star 1000: A Modern Envelope Processing Solution
The Print Star 1000 is a high-performance envelope processing system engineered to work seamlessly with Epson WorkForce Enterprise inkjet technology. Instead of relying on outdated mechanics, it delivers a smarter, more efficient approach to envelope feeding and collection.
From day one, the Print Star 1000 focuses on what matters most:
-
Speed
-
Simplicity
-
Consistency
-
Reliability
Built for Speed Without Sacrificing Control
One of the most noticeable upgrades businesses experience when moving to the Print Star 1000 is production speed.
The system supports processing speeds of up to 100 envelopes per minute, keeping operations moving smoothly even during peak workloads. Whether you’re handling high-volume mail runs, voter materials, or time-sensitive business communications, the Print Star 1000 keeps pace without interruption.
Smarter Feeding for a Smoother Workflow
A standout feature of the Print Star 1000 is its patent-pending envelope selector, which automatically adjusts speed and tension to match the most commonly used envelope sizes.
What this means for your operation:
-
Fewer misfeeds
-
Reduced manual adjustments
-
Consistent output from start to finish
Advanced hold-down features further enhance media control, allowing the system to handle a wider variety of envelope sizes and thicknesses — something many older systems struggle with.
Quick Setup, Easy Maintenance, Minimal Downtime
Unlike legacy envelope printers that require frequent intervention, the Print Star 1000 is built for efficiency:
-
Quick and easy setup across multiple envelope sizes
-
Optional external reset handle, allowing users to reset the input sensor without moving the feeder
-
Quick-detach feed belt unit for fast cleaning or belt replacement
These features dramatically reduce downtime and simplify routine maintenance, helping teams stay focused on production instead of troubleshooting.
Designed for Today’s Print Environments
Modern businesses need equipment that integrates smoothly with existing workflows. The Print Star 1000 was designed to complement high-speed inkjet systems, delivering professional results while maintaining flexibility.
This makes it an ideal solution for:
-
Commercial mailing operations
-
Election offices and government agencies
-
Educational institutions
-
Print centers and service providers
-
Businesses with high-volume envelope needs
Why the Print Star 1000 Is the Xante Replacement Businesses Are Choosing
The shift away from Xante isn’t about chasing trends — it’s about choosing equipment that matches the demands of today’s production environments.
With the Print Star 1000, organizations gain:
-
Faster envelope processing
-
Greater reliability
-
Easier maintenance
