XMPie Marketplace is an online resource designed to support users in the creation of personalized marketing materials. It features an XMPie uStore-based e-commerce Web site offering a library of creatively designed uImage templates available for purchase and download by uImage users.

The Web site provides XMPie customers with eye-catching uImage templates in Adobe Photoshop (photo-based) and Adobe Illustrator (vector-based) file formats. The template files are tagged with ADOR objects for variability and are ready to use in XMPie-based print, e-mail or Web personalization projects.

In addition, the training needed to master uImage personalization can be derived from using the XMPie Marketplace templates, which makes the site a tremendous asset to our users."

XMPie Marketplace showcases the templates available for purchase and provides a data sheet about each to ensure users find the template that best fits their requirements. Each template includes everything needed for production or integration into variable-data projects with XMPie.  Additionally, the templates allow for customization by customers, so a user can vary a template's appearance based on the project.

The site is launched with an introductory price of $99 for Illustrator templates and OpenType/TrueType font Photoshop templates, and $199 for image font Photoshop templates.
