VDP software If you are a QuarkXPress user or Adobe InDesign user, and if you need to do variable-data printing, then DesignMerge is for you!

DesignMerge is a bundle of QuarkXPress™ XTensions™ or Adobe® InDesign® Plug-Ins that provide sophisticated features for variable-data-printing and database-publishing. To put it another way: DesignMerge makes it possible to design and produce variable-data documents from within Quark or InDesign.


Menu-driven, easy to use

Every aspect of the DesignMerge interface is menu-driven. To set up your document, use the DesignMerge floating palette to identify variable-text information or variable-picture information in your QuarkXPress/InDesign document. Then, you select the database file you wish to use and start the DesignMerge session.

After you've set up your document, DesignMerge quickly cycles through each record of the database, populates the variable fields in your document, and prints the merged results.

If you like, you can do a "preflight" to check for problems before printing.

You also have the option of saving the merged documents in a number of different file formats.

VDP software Variable text

DesignMerge supports the creation of variable text inside of any QuarkXPress or InDesign document. DesignMerge retains the styling of the text in the document as the variable data is merged. All of the available styling features are fully supported, including text on a curve, drop-caps, runarounds, kerning, and color specifications. Just select the text you want to personalize; then use the DesignMerge floating palette to establish the link to your data.

Variable graphics

For variable graphics, DesignMerge allows you to select from a set of pre-defined graphic-positioning options that control how the graphic is positioned when it is merged.

DesignMerge includes full support for multiple local and global search paths for graphics, so the variable images can reside anywhere on your system.

VDP software DesignMerge is available for both Macintosh computers and Windows computers. For details about operating-system requirements and hardware requirements, refer to the DesignMerge documentation. (You'll get the documentation if you click the "Try" tab above and download a demo version of DesignMerge.)
DesignMerge works from within Adobe InDesign or QuarkXPress. In other words, to use DesignMerge, Adobe InDesign or QuarkXPress must be installed on your computer. Here are the InDesign and Quark versions that are supported:
  • InDesign CS2, CS3, and CS4 (supported on both Macintosh and Windows)
  • Quark 4, 5, & 6 (supported on Macintosh and Windows)
  • Quark 7 & 8 (supported on Macintosh only)
VDP software You can download a free trial version of DesignMerge. You'll be able to install it and run it on your own computer. These buttons let you download both InDesign and Quark versions of DesignMerge.

VDP software Your data

DesignMerge works with delimited text files, which can be created using practically any database or spreadsheet application. (One popular delimited-text format is .csv.)

You can also connect directly to your database via ODBC.
What are the advantages of using a plug-in or XTension for variable-data printing?

DesignMerge comes as a collection of InDesign plug-ins or Quark XTensions. There are several advantages to using plug-in technology for variable-data printing. The most important is that the software can utilize the two most popular document-composition engines in the world: QuarkXPress and Adobe InDesign. All of the composition features you have grown accustomed to as a Quark or InDesign user are fully supported by DesignMerge. Every aspect of the composition process, including kerning and letterspacing, hyphenation and justification, runarounds, multi-page composition, styling, tables, etc. are all available for you to use. You just take an existing document and use DesignMerge to "make it variable." Your variable output will look just like you clicked File > Print for each individual data record.

Another important advantage to a plug-in approach for variable-data printing is the ramp-up and production time. Because the user is allowed to remain in the QuarkXPress or InDesign application the entire time, little training is required. The user doesn't need to learn a brand-new page-layout tool. Rather, using the DesignMerge interface, the user can easily identify variable elements in an existing document, start the merge session, and produce variable-data output, all without leaving the QuarkXPress or InDesign environment. This also makes it easy to effect edits to the document, as the user can make them immediately — just like he or she is editing a "normal" QuarkXPress or InDesign document — because that is exactly what the user is doing!

VDP software Business logic

DesignMerge lets you use conditional processing (if-then-else statements) in your variable-data-printing jobs. This gives you the ability to control the content and styling of the data or layout, based upon the contents of one or more database fields.

Oversets

DesignMerge can detect and remedy overset text conditions, which are a common occurrence in variable-data-printing applications. DesignMerge utilizes user-defined parameters that make the text smaller until it just fits inside the area allocated for it.

The user specifies the attributes to be adjusted. The DesignMerge facility for handling oversets is unique in that the set of pre-defined parameters can actually mimic the copy-fitting style of the designer, thereby ensuring a result that is aesthetically pleasing.

mailmerge software variable data printing software Output formats

DesignMerge provides built-in support for all the most popular variable-data output formats, including PostScript, PPML, and Creo VPS. It also supports optional, specialty print drivers for systems such as Xerox VIPP, and legacy systems such as Xeikon Book Ticket format.

Multi-up layouts

DesignMerge supports the creation of multi-up layouts by utilizing a "sequencing" feature that is built into the product. This feature allows the user to lay out multiple representations of a document in a matrix of columns and rows. The user can create any number of "ups" in the document, using a simple point-and-click method to identify the ordering of the data on the page.

Support for the Intelligent Mail bar code is included in DesignMerge for Adobe InDesign CS3 and DesignMerge for QuarkXPress 7.0. Support for the U.S. Postal Service POSTNET bar code is included in older versions of DesignMerge. Support for other kinds of bar codes requires the optional DesignMerge Bar Code Module.

Whitespace management

DesignMerge can suppress unwanted whitespace in a situation where a data field is empty.

VDP software mailmerge software
The DirectSmile software lets you do "image personalization."

What is image personalization?

Image personalization is the ability to add variable text to images, dynamically. For example: you can write people's names in the sand, spell people's names with cookies or berries, and emboss people's names on poker chips. This allows for the design and production of outstanding direct-mail communications that capture the attention of recipients through a combination of individualization and emotion.

PDF workflow

FusionPro Desktop works by allowing you to add personalized text, variable graphics, bar codes, and data-driven charts & graphs (such as pie charts and bar charts) to a PDF file. You can use virtually any software to create the basic design for your document — for example, Adobe Illustrator or Adobe InDesign or QuarkXPress or even Microsoft Word. Save it in PDF format and you're ready to start using FusionPro Desktop. The built-in PDF support is a real time-saver if you receive master documents from sources outside your company — for example, from customers — because you don't have to re-create the documents in-house.

Integration with QuarkXPress and Adobe InDesign

If you do decide to use Adobe InDesign or QuarkXPress, you'll be able to take advantage of some extra features. For example, the formatting you create in Adobe InDesign or QuarkXPress will be carried over into the PDF file you create for your basic design, and you can use that same formatting in FusionPro Desktop for variable text. Note that you are NOT REQUIRED to use InDesign or Quark — it's optional.

VDP software
VDP software FusionPro Direct allows you to automate your production workflow for variable-data documents without doing any programming. Ideal for large or complex variable-data jobs, FusionPro Direct can be installed in minutes.

   Data sheet  


You utilize FusionPro Direct in conjunction with FusionPro Desktop. It works like this:

You use FusionPro Desktop's drag-and-drop system to create a template (layout) for your variable-data job; then you copy the required files to a hot folder on the server that's running FusionPro Direct. Each time you need to use that template to create variable-data documents, just put a new data file into the hot folder, and FusionPro Direct will compose the documents and create the output file in the format specified in the template.

FusionPro Direct can automatically e-mail production personnel when composition is complete and can also put the finished file into a RIP folder, giving you a completely automated, "hands-off" production workflow.

PrintShop Mail Design is a stand-alone desktop application for Macintosh and Windows that allows you to add variable text and variable graphics to a blank page, to a PDF file, to an EPS file, or to a Microsoft Word file. Use PrintShop Mail Design to produce variable-data documents from the desktop.

PrintShop Mail Design makes it easy to produce almost any kind of personalized or customized document: postcards, gift certificates, personalized brochures, collection letters, price tags, tickets, calendars — the possibilities are endless!



PDF workflow saves time

PrintShop Mail Design's support for PDF allows you to use virtually any application to create the basic design for your document. For example, you can use Adobe Illustrator or Adobe InDesign or QuarkXPress or even Microsoft Word. Once you have your PDF file or EPS file, just open it in PrintShop Mail Design and you're ready to use PrintShop Mail Design's drag-and-drop interface to start laying out your variable-data document.


Your data

PrintShop Mail Design accepts quite a few different data formats: Excel, FoxPro, Paradox, .csv, and more. You can also connect directly to your database system via ODBC.

PrintShop Mail Web is an extension to the PrintShop Mail Design module. PrintShop Mail Web supports multi-user printing from PrintShop Mail Design, and it also provides a Web interface for automating and managing document templates. In fact, PrintShop Mail Web is a full-featured Web-to-print system that allows real-time, 24/7 on-line modification, ordering and production of 1) promotional and personalized documents created with PrintShop Mail Design, 2) static PDF files. It can be used by your own employees, it can be used by your customers, or both.

You can set up multiple Web portals within the PrintShop Mail Web system, and each portal can have different branding (a different look and feel). For example, if your company is a printing company, and if some of your customers are banks, you could set up a Web portal for your own company (it would have your company's logo, colors, phone number, etc.), and you could also set up a different Web portal for each bank (with the bank's logo, colors, phone number, etc.). Each bank's employees could use that particular bank's portal to order business cards, letterhead, envelopes, etc. on line. There is no extra charge for setting up multiple Web portals.

PrintShop Mail Web is a self-hosted system. This means you install and run PrintShop Mail Web on your own server. PrintShop Mail Web is one of the most affordable self-hosted Web-to-print systems available.

PrintShop Mail Web is a great solution for organizations where multiple users need to create and/or manage document templates and produce documents based on those templates. It is ideal for a business that has remote workers or offices — typically retail outlets, franchises and dealerships.

The following PrintShop Mail add-ons are available.
 
DirectSmile Creator Pro Add-on
for PrintShop Mail


The DirectSmile software lets you do "image personalization."

What is image personalization? It's the ability to add variable text to images, dynamically. For example: you can write people's names in the sand, spell people's names with cookies or berries, and emboss people's names on poker chips. This allows for the design and production of outstanding direct-mail pieces that capture the attention of recipients through a combination of individualization and emotion.

Two versions of the DirectSmile software are available specifically for use with PrintShop Mail Design: a limited version that lets you generate 5,000 personalized images, and an unlimited version.

The designer's perspective

The designer uses the PrintShop Mail Design software to create document templates for use with the PrintShop Mail Web system. (The PrintShop Mail Design software is included with the PrintShop Mail Mail Web software.)

Creating a template entails defining data sources and defining formatting and business logic for the variable text and variable graphics that will be used on the template. This is an easy process with PrintShop Mail Design's drag-and-drop system.

Once a template is finished, the designer uses PrintShop Mail Design to "publish it" to the PrintShop Mail Web system. The designer can then use PrintShop Mail Web to test the template. Once the designer has confirmed the template is working properly, the designer uses PrintShop Mail Web's administrative interface to makes the template available to PrintShop Mail Web users.

The integrator's perspective

PrintShop Mail Web can operate as a stand-alone, self-contained system. However, built into PrintShop Mail Web are integration features that allow a programmer to integrate PrintShop Mail Web with other processes, if needed.

A typical integration requirement is communication of order information from PrintShop Mail Web to an order-management system.

Another typical integration requirement is an underwater log-in system, which allows a program or Web site to provide a username and password to PrintShop Mail Web. In a scenario where a company running PrintShop Mail Web has a Web site or another system that requires a user to log in, this eliminates the need for a user to log in twice.

The user's perspective

A user can upload an image for personalization and modify the text based on pre-defined variable fields. Once the document is ready, the user validates and preflights the print run and initiates the ordering process. With permissions and access rights that can be set per user, PrintShop Mail Web allows companies to adapt the verification process of submitted documents based on their business rules.
