Variable Data Printing
Today’s professional printers are evolving. It’s not enough to make great prints. Increasingly, your customers are looking to you for digital print and marketing services to help them maximize the ROI from their print jobs.
Harness the combined power of graphics with databases with Variable Data Printing software. Create unique customized postcards, letters, flyers, and business forms that increase the value of the service you provide – and your revenue.
PrintShop Mail Suite by Objectif Lune
Do your customers need better results with their targeted marketing campaigns? Create individualized pieces easily with this desktop variable data printing application.
With PrintShop Mail’s user-friendly tools, you create one layout for all recipients; then, you can drag-and-drop in fields from a data source (such as an Excel spreadsheet) and easily set rules to allow you to skip pages, change the text, change images on the fly, and more. The result – each new print is unique and tailored to the recipient. Efficient technology keeps your computer from being tied up while the final job is sent to your printer.
The PrintShop Mail Web option permits implementation of a web-based central production server, so clients located anywhere may send in their jobs to you for printing and finishing.

Do your customers need to regularly print transactional statements, use pre-printed shells or want to add individualized promotional messages to invoices? Check out PlanetPress, an electronic forms solution. PlanetPress’ modules enable easy creation and printing of transactional and transpromotional documents.
Data can be taken in from most hosts, including ODBC compliant databases, and set up to print automatically. Your electronic form template can be easily revised when updates are needed.
PlanetPress also gives you flexibility in how the final piece is distributed, including high-volume printing, faxing and emailing, and allows you to deliver pdfs for your clients’ archiving requests.
DirectSmile by DirectSmile GmbH
Put some extra “wow” into your variable data with image personalization. DirectSmile integrates with PrintShop Mail to add personalized images to your finished piece. Don’t just change the image, change the actual content of the image. You’ll add customized text in such a way that the recipient can’t tell it wasn’t part of the original image – each recipient will see an image specifically created just for them.
You can design your own image sets (background image + stylized font) or purchase additional image sets from DirectSmile’s catalog of more than 900 print-ready templates.
