newsletter mail merge

I need to produce 1600 newsletters on a konica biz hub using publisher 2007
running windows XP pro. I am using pitney bowes smart mailer for my mail
merge. this results in 1,600 individual jobs and the color newletter is quite
large so it takes about 5 minutes per newsletter to send it to the printer.

I would like to sent the newsletter once and have the Konica insert the mail
merge into each newletter page needing the address information. I have been
told there is a 3rd party plug in that will do that for publisher.

I can merge just fine it goes to the printer as 1,600 individual jobs with
each job taking 4 minutes to send and 25 seconds to print it takes 133 hours
to print all 1600 newsletters I want send the job once (5 minutes) then have
the copy machine print out 1600 copies (25 seconds per copy = 8 hours) but I
need the variable data inserted into each copy.

I've never heard of the software you're using, but I don't see how it
would differ from any other mail merge. 5 minutes per copy is rather a
long time; is it possible to print the non-merged pages using multiple
copies and only send the merged pages as separate jobs?

I have heard of no such plugin.

Does the Konica have a place to store a *form*? Our Xerox 6100 has
form-storing capability that I think will do what you want, but our color
5252 doesn't. The object would be to store the newsletter as a background
form and just print the merge as variable data. Haven't played with that yet!
