I hate to sound like a commercial but Jet Letter's PSL Page Builder could handle this job straight out of the box. N-Up layouts are automated and include Dutch Cuts.

Was there a question?

In a previous life I've bought and sold hundreds of items at printing auctions. There are certainly deals to be had, but let the buyer beware. The events recalled by UnlimitedBT would suggest a less than reputable auction house for what they did not do. When you register for an auction in order...

Your first consideration should be to remember that the West Coast US ports are essentially shut down due to a labor action. There is no telling when that will be resolved and how long it might delay any shipment from China. A quick look at their website still doesn't answer my first question...

The big challenge we've found with PDF anything online is that it doesn't play well well with smartphones or tablets. It just doesn't allow for variations in screen size nor orientation. One alternative our customers have used is to use the online service provided by BlueToad (BlueToad |...

Your client needs to address the entire technology needed to create this type of product. That being the software and apps needed to create the invisible QR code or watermark as well as the app needed for a smartphone to read the embedded code. The video highlights a product licensed by...

C6501 with a total of 2,850K clicks vs. C6000 with 810K clicks. I'd lean toward the lighter usage and I'd certainly want to see current output. The C6000 was an improvement in image quality over the C6501 with or without an external RIP. Be sure to consider your maintenance pricing before...

The National Print Owners Association (NPOA) is currently preparing their Mailing Services Pricing Study. It will be available in January. You need not be a member to participate and become eligible for a free copy once it is completed. While this does not address your post today it should be...

VDP Solutions generally come in one of two varieties. Plug in applications that require an application such as InDesign to render each file for output to your printer. XMPie and Fusion Pro would be examples. Stand alone VDP solutions do not require a secondary application in order to create...

You can create these books using a VDP application. Jet Letter's PSL PageBuilder can be used to create completely personalized books. As it will generate print ready PDFs you can create the project inhouse and send out the files to be printed.

There is more to consider in a UV coater than a specific manufacture or model. What substrates are you using and what are you imaging with? In my previous life at Konica Minolta we had difficulty finding a suitable system as KM engines use a polymer toner. Not all systems nor UV coating...

Co-mingling preprinted mail is certainly one answer. Variable data printing software can also allow you to mix and match various jobs in the printing process itself. This allows you to get better volume discounts. While VDP is usually thought of for personalization it can also provide many...

Given the hands on intensive nature required to print this job it may not make as much sense as you say to continue to use the customer's Excel sheet. I would think that they've put this report together from a print it at the desktop perspective. Not from a production perspective. VDP solutions...

Dwight & All, When considering issues of speed and VDP there are actually two areas to consider. Merge speed and RIP speed. The VDP solution must first merge static and dynamic data and graphics and then send those files to the RIP for processing. Solutions such as Fusion PRO rely on other page...

Robert, I know that InDesign has a merge feature. I have no idea how it would handle your imposition needs nor how it deals with bar codes. There are other limitations but certainly it is bargin basement priced.

Robert, PSL PageBuilder LIGHT is about to be announced and is available for $2,495.

Jet Letter's PSL PageBuilder will do everything you mentioned. It has the ability to impose output in either a predefined layout or that layout can be data driven. There is a great deal of flexibility in your layouts in that bleeds, chop cuts and even Dutch Cut layouts can be accommodated...

Paul: I'm not an XMPie user but I have heard from users and former users that XMPie is very touchy as to needing correct module versions. Update or change one thing and you need to update others to make things work as before. Sounds like Xerox support is just blowing you off. You might try the...

VDP Software Advice VDP Software Advice The short answer is, yes. With PageBuilder anything and everything can be a variable should you choose. Because PageBuilder is not relying on InDesign to render images it can quickly handle large number of variables in text and graphics. It can also...

There was a lot of recent discussion regarding VDP solutions and specially those that are plugins to InDesign. How does that process work now that InDesign is only available through the Adobe creative cloud? I could see where users of older versions might be able to continue using them. Are new...
