We have seen a dramatic increase in the adoption rate of variable data and personalized printing, especially within the past year, noted Meadows President, John Kriho. Companies are searching for new potential revenue streams, and personalized printing is a great way to capitalize on the digital printing equipment they already own, for a very minimal investment. In addition, the document assembly aspects of DesignMerge can completely automate the production of certain types of standard digital print work. Everything from consecutive numbering and bar coding jobs, to sophisticated, multi-up direct mail pieces can be produced using DesignMerge. It is a completely unique and incredibly versatile tool.
