The overview of variable data printing system

Variable data refers to data changes with certain rules. Variable data is widely used in daily life, such as bar-code of commodities, employee ID of the company, social medical insurance card and so on. We can realize the production of variable data through many kinds of software, such as Print-shop Mail, Huimou.com, HIVDP and Nicelabel CorelDraw, etc., these software can help us quickly and favorably to change the data, meet the personalized requirements of customers, so that customers and the company to achieve a win-win situation.

The differences between variable data printing and traditional printing

Variable data printing is the most important part of digital printing, traditional printing methods can only be printed once several number, the same print content, that is to say whether printing a thousand or ten thousand pieces, each piece of information is the same, and variable data printing is to point to in the process of printing, printing of each label in accordance with the format set in advance good content changing. There are different things between every tag.

The industry standard for variable data printing

PPML is the industry standard for variable data printing. In addition to the standard PPML, vendors also have some formats of their own, such as FreeForm2 from EFI. However, PPML is an industry standard. From the technical characteristics of PPML itself, it is very competitive, and it gradually solves the problem of incompatibility between output devices.

The classification of variable data printing

According to different imaging principles, variable data printing can be divided into:

(1) Electrophotographic printing

(2) Ink jet printing

(3) Other electrocoagulation imaging technology, magnetic particle imaging technology, electron beam imaging technology, magnetic particleink-jet technology.

The applications of variable data printing

It can be applied to industry, telecommunications, education, automobile, real estate, catering, manufacturing, entertainment, advertising, printing and other industries of label document production.

Variable data printingis simply in the substrate printed on the content of the regular changes, such as printing on each card from 1 to 1000 consecutive numbers on the ticket of the regular water code, etc., are variable data printing category. It is the number of coupons, movie tickets, and so on, there are those work permits, each person only one, in fact, the general point of view, as long as the number of single products to be less, but the overall number to be more, those are variable data printing.

The workflow of variable data printing

1. Layout design: can use variable data printing software design

2. Content: Use the variable data printing software to add content

3. Database: import database content into the variable data printing software to realize batch printing of data

4. Variable data application: Zhonglang variable data printing software

5, output equipment: all kinds of printers or output PDF, PPML, pictures and so on
