You can pick up a used Indigo press with personalization capability for about $30K, or you can outsource to a short-run shop that has one. You would be surprised to see the quality that an Indigo can produce.
I don't know about the complex matching you're trying to do with optional inserts and personalized envelopes, but there's either enough of a market out there to justify someone offering a solution for dollars or you're taking the wrong approach.

For larger printing runs (1000+) we have a relationship with an external printer. For the smaller runs, I need to bootstrap an envrironment so we can do so in house. I would love to hear suggestions on printers/software/tools/equipment that the community might recommend in my quest for a low-cost environment that will be reasonably automated. Thank you for reading my post. I apologize if this is the inappropriate forum.
