Variable Data & Image Printing


Flash Printing

PrintChef's variable data and image substitution capabilities were the first in the industry-- having been introduced in 1992 with LaserMerge (PrintChef's predecessor). And, PrintChef's variable data and image substitution is the fastest in the industry, easily beating other $4,000, $5,000, and $20,000 packages by a factor of two. This helps reduce an 80,000 page print from 1 week to under 15 hours.

PrintChef's variable data printing is good for both big and little jobs, so you can use it at home to mail out those church socials, or in the office to mail out those stockholder reports.

Imagine changing the name printed on a magazine cover for each subscriber... PrintChef did this in the Quebec magazine "Production Imprimee".

Notice how the name "Larry" is substituted over the background picture of the hand as a high-speed image substitution...




Using Variable Data & Images

Once you have created a PrintChef printing style that has database text fields or an image substitution field, the following dialog appears whenever you try to print. This dialog shows the number of records in the chosen database file, and the chosen image list to use when image substitution is being performed.

You can select the range of database records to print, and even which list of images to use for substitution.
