Calgary, Alberta, Canada – iSys Label announced the release of their new variable data software, iSys Variable Data Printing (iVDP) Version 2.2.0.0, a full featured easy-to-use software package that was developed exclusively for the company’s short to mid run digital label printers, the APEX 1290 and EDGE 850.

Compatible with iSys2Print label software programs, iVDP provides the user the ability to combine static and dynamic content to create varying multi-graphic labels containing variable text, images and barcodes. iVDP layouts can be easily set up and configured to run variable portions in both horizontal and vertical dataset formats enabling the user to quickly create highly-targeted, professional designs. Included with iVDP is our innovative pre-adjust color registration app and memory management system. This means that even large jobs that exceed the capacity of the printer will run without data loss making every label job perfect.

Mark Hopkins, President of iSys Label adds “With the addition of iVDP, our label printing solution is complete and comprehensive. The innovative features embedded in this technology are many and that has allowed us to stand alone with a very unique offering. iSys Label has created digital label printers that provide all the sophistication needed in our industry and yet so simple to operate.”
