Over the past few years, the variable print market has grown rapidly as companies seek more effective ways to communicate with customers and prospects. Personalized communications provide a great way to target messages directly to recipients, expanding the potential and reach of investment dollars. Recognizing the potential in this market, Datalogics and NexPress will work together to provide an optimal solution for creating and delivering 1-to-1 communications. Datalogics expertise in composition technology, along with NexPress’ strength in digital color production, provides a complimentary mix for creating an outstanding solution for customers. The coupling of a high-speed composition engine with a reliable digital press, make creating 1-to-1 marketing applications a reality. With DL Formatter’s easy to use interface within standard desktop publishing applications, users are able to create communications where both text and images change in every document. Because of DL Formatter’s ability to flow content and create charts and graphics on-the-fly, companies can now produce not only variable letters, but also custom catalogues, financial statements and brochures designed for a specific consumer. To provide further flexibility, DL Formatter can also be used to create 1-to-1 web applications for personalized content online and taking content from XML to PDF. Whether targeting a 1-to-1 Web application or personalized communications for print or electronic delivery, DL Formatter is the optimal solution. DL Formatter rapidly merges the variable data with the template in either interactive or batch modes and offers users a selection of output options. In addition to supporting the generation of PostScript and PDF output, DL Formatter will be creating PPML/VDX to feed the NexStation front end. This new emerging standard offers a streamlined approach for delivering variable data to a printer by using the PPML mark-up specifications and PDF.
