Taopix is a brilliant piece of software for digital printers who have a serious business plan to sell photo books etc. Some will regard it expensive, but if you're dipping your toe into the market, then it probably isn't the solution for you. It's a British based Company who have been in the...

The initial configuration, training is what will take up someone's time for say 3 to 4 weeks at over 50% of their work day. It's the foundation building of price lists, media, ticket templates and products that needs time to create. Normally, you will start off with a few customers and build...

Hi....you could always ask the support guys at Objectif Lune :)

There's also PrintShop Mail which is a popular easy to use VDP program. Not too sure if it can do it, but there's also FusionPro plugin for InDesign, which is a much cheaper option than XMPie.

I've used the XMPie uDirect InDesign plugin to link a database to the template and with some QLingo Script, itworks very well. You can download the XMPie plugin for free to test (limited to export 5 records).

CS5 cannot read CS5.5 files! You have to export as an idml file as well, which can be read by CS4.

This might be a silly question, but why are you outputting to PDF when printing VDP. The RIP time will be horrendous. Normally, you use Optimised PS or even better VPS or PPML where the static images etc are cached locally on the printer and only the changeable objects/text are sent. You have...

From dealing with MP and Fiery previously and unless they've changed they configuration with the C901, then the techs are right. Patches are applied to the Fiery to allow MP to communicate to the printer correctly. Then you are unable to use the Fiery directly as a printer controller. Everything...

Have you tried sending the file as PPML, which the Fiery supports? Also, the Fiery has something called Freeform where the static form is held on the Fiery...which means only the variable data is sent. This is supported by PrintShop Mail. Try the above options to see what results you get

According to the spec I've seen for the Ricoh, it supports up to A3+, which is not as wide as SRA3. can't comment on the Xerox.

You can download the free to try XMPIE plugin for InDesign. It has 17 standard barcode types includng QR Codes. It has a limit of outputting 5 records to PDF..PPML, which is removed if you buy it. It uses QLingo scripting which is quite easy to use once you have the basics. XMPIE support is very...

Youston, thank you very much. You hit the nail on the head. If I could, I would buy you a beer!

Hi....I posted this in the Adobeforum, but was recommended to post here instead. Hopefully, you can help. I'm using the uDirect plugin trial version with InDesign CS4 for evaluation. At the moment, I'm trying to use uDirect for variable content in a business card. I have a text frame, which...

Thanks Jason. When the department scales the text to a lower size, I want all of the text to scale to the same size. Also, this is a business card for a University and they potentially have up to 3 department lines, one after each other and each one can be very long and sometimes they may ony...

Hi, I'm using the uDirect plugin trial version with InDesign CS4 for evaluation. At the moment, I'm trying to use uDirect for variable content in a business card. I have a text frame, which contains department, address, telephone, email etc details. I have created rules, so for example, if the...
