Marketing, HR and corporate communications departments all use NowPrint® to centralize brand-approved print materials. From there, employees can easily request, download, personalize and distribute the print materials they need. This improves both brand consistency and speed to market.
Store documents or non-print inventory in a Catalog that users can access based on rights and roles or segmented for a particular company or department. Each item has a thumbnail image and unique metadata associated with it (price, SKU, name, etc.). In addition to ordering printed documents, users can download any non-warehouse item as a PDF.
You can easily add an approval step before order submission. Approvals are configurable and can be automatic for all users in a group, or set to trigger when the order exceeds a particular threshold or dollar amount.
Easily manage non-print items (notepads, pens, etc.) or pre-printed items stored in inventory. Upload a thumbnail picture of the item, add the product description and it’s available for ordering.
Take advantage of 1:1 marketing benefits by letting users personalize marketing materials online. Data collection is controlled with a configurable form builder. Choose from Standard VDP capabilities that leverage the basic functionality of InDesign, Word and Publisher or Advanced VDP for more complex XMPie functionality.
If your designers use Adobe InDesign, Microsoft Word and/or Microsoft Publisher to create personalized print products, NowPrint’s Standard VDP is a good solution for you. Using the data merge function, your graphic artists can design personalized products to apply variable text and/or variable images. Then, the design template, supporting graphic files and data merge file are uploaded to NowPrint for execution.
Use applications that are familiar to your designers for page layout and design, except now they can create variable-data merge documents, too.
Use Advanced FeaturesInDesign provides advanced features not available with Microsoft® products, including image-fitting rules, the ability to collapse empty lines and additional design features.
The design template allows for unlimited pages to handle multi-page document VDP needs.
Choose from Over 4,000 FontsA huge font library has already been loaded into the NowPrint environment to handle most font needs.
Improve Admin Efficiency with a User-Friendly Product ImageNowPrint uses the design template for the catalog product image. Plus, variable areas are displayed using variable markers such as <> or <
>, etc.When your personalized print piece requires business logic during the data merge process, XMPie® QlingoR® scripting provides the solution. NowPrint gives you an option that fully supports the XMPie® composition engine platform.
Leverage InDesign with the XMPie® uDirect™ plug-in to create powerful 1:1 documents in the InDesign® application designers already use.
Authorize Unlimited UsersYou get an Unlimited Direct Designer™ license to distribute template design tools to anyone in the organization for creating high-end XMPie campaign templates.
Mass-Personalize CampaignsThis solution includes the easy-to-use uDirect™ Standard desktop package that lets you merge mass-personalization records to create variable-data print documents.
Write Custom ScriptsUse Qlingo to write scripts for adding intelligence to VDP applications, including scripts to:
Size, position, reflow and other effects can be adjusted on the fly based on input.
Tap into InDesign® CapabilitiesDrop shadows, content applied to curves and other design features are available when using the InDesign-based XMPie tools.
Organizations that are already using XMPie can continue to use existing templates, but now users will have the additional option of web-to-print commerce.
Create Multi-Page DocumentsThe classic XMPie solution allows up to 8-pages in the InDesign® template. If your template requires additional pages, we can work with you on a NowPrint contract.
Simplify Font UsageXMPie has superb font management as it processes fonts from the uploaded campaign package.
Streamline UploadsTwo set-up steps are eliminated because the admin uploads a campaign package to NowPrint that contains the InDesign template file, fonts, data file and supporting images.
Improve Admin Efficiency with a User-Friendly Product ImageNowPrint uses the designer’s specified XMPie record for the static catalog product image.
Control Print ProductionLimited merging will occur with mass personalization items for print PDF, so we recommend merging in the desktop application to control batches.
