Machine review
Uniprod Review
The Uniprod is a desktop production machine (under 3ft, ~75–90 lbs) that writes with a real pen, runs autonomously, and is built for 24/7 use with a stated 30-year service life. ~100–110 envelopes/hour. Pricing is published: $15,000 to buy (3-yr full warranty, lifetime software license, one custom font) or $1,000/month unlimited rental (3-month minimum); a $5,500 buyback caps downside. Compare owning vs outsourcing with the cost calculator.
