Chapter 10—Variable data printing jobs

server although less efficiently than Variable Print Specification files. Each authoring program creates VDP code that instructs the RIP where to place the VDP elements, and each authoring program does so in a slightly different manner.

The format you choose can be a stand-alone format that covers all aspects of document design, data management, and text capture, or it can be an extension of an existing program that enables you to create VDP documents and VDP jobs.

Note: PostScript files are suitable for simple, very short jobs. All page elements are re-RIPed for each page. These jobs do not use a VDP authoring tool at all. Instead, they use the mail-merge function in a Microsoft Word document or a Microsoft Excel spreadsheet.

Variable Print Specification

The Variable Print Specification (VPS) file format was developed by Creo. It is an extension of the PostScript language. The file format is comprehensive and can cover a complete range of VDP documents.

A Variable Print Specification job consists of the following components:

●Booklet—A personalized copy of a document within a single print run. Pages or elements within a page can vary from booklet to booklet.

●Reusable elements—Self-contained graphical entities that can be line art, text, raster images, or a combination of these types. Reusable elements are represented in PostScript and can be stored as EPS files when appropriate. Reusable elements include clipping and scaling instructions as well as the image data.

Reusable elements can be used repeatedly in different pages, booklets, and jobs. On the CX print server, all reusable elements are processed once and cached as elements for further use.

●Inline elements—Unique information that is drawn from a database and is embedded in the sub-job. This data prints only once for individual booklets.

PPML

Personalized Print Markup Language (PPML) is an XML-based print language developed by some of the world's leading manufacturers of print technology for the high-speed reproduction of reusable page content. It is an open, interoperable, device- independent standard that makes use of personalized print applications. Various vendors have created software that can generate PPML files.
