About Variable Printing

Variable printing is printing which replaces a portion of the printing area such as characters and images, for each printing. Applications include the printing of employee ID cards where the name, department, and photograph differ; tickets with consecutive numbers, and postcard addressee information.

In order to perform variable printing, you will need the following files:
  • A template design file containing variable fields to hold unique text or images.
  • Data file for specifying the text or images to print
  • Image files if you want to print images.

Here the procedure is introduced using the creation of employee ID cards as an example.
