Features
PrintShop Mail is an application for variable printing. PrintShop Mail does only one job. It personalizes layouts. Using familiar layout and database tools, create the layout and manage the necessary data. Then let PrintShop Mail do the rest. The document layout is sent to the RIP only once, and variables (the personalization), text, or graphics are exchanged at high speed.
This technology enables output at a maximum speed on any PostScript printer. The RIP plays an important role in the overall speed of the process. High-volume mailings and sophisticated layouts cannot be created with word processors. In such a solution every single page will be generated, transported over the network, and processed separately before finally being RIP-ed and printed. This might be practical with one hundred addresses, but higher volumes inevitably block the entire production site for hours on end. PrintShop Mail is the answer to that problem.One of the biggest advantages of PrintShop Mail is the seamless inclusion of colors and fonts into documents. Use any font, in any style, size, and direction (including bar codes and OCR-B fonts). The Macintosh version also allows the user to apply variable images such as signatures and photos.Features:• easy personalization;• employs professional layouts created in QuarkXPress, PageMaker, and other popular applications;• easy use of data from any database that supports DBF exports;• prints and personalizes in one step;• uses color to make mailings more attractive;• Macintosh version supports variable images;• optimizes PostScript output;• evaluates and combines data with a simple command language;• supports bar codes and OCR-B;• extended ASCII conversion between Macintosh and Windows, various extended ASCII character sets included;• splits job functionality; and• available in Dutch, English, French, German, Spanish, and Japanese.On the Mac platform the following features were in version 4.X, but are NOT included in version 5: • No Guidelines• No Imposition (and no cropmarks)• Can do Repetition (but don't see little preview window)• No Hot foldersThe Designer version prints only demo pages, but gives the user the opportunity to design a complete variable-data print job. This job can be accepted by the PrintShop Mail provider using the same software, including the option to print up to several numbers of records. The Limited version processes 200,000 records.Manufacturer: Atlas Software BV
