Optimize print processes with individualized standard tools

The challenge faced by print automation is to compile the right data from a media-neutral product database in the desired order and in the right structure, to then deliver the layout needed. This is how highly automated individual data sheets, inserts or even entire product catalogs are published for any medium or language. Or the database can be utilized to interactively create catalogs or flyers.

The actual publishing process takes place in the integrated DTP system, such as Adobe^® InDesign^®, QuarkXPress^® or Adobe^® FrameMaker^®. Any level of automation is possible: from manual assembly of a single page to fully automated assembly of an entire catalog.

Manual reworking of a publication is particularly simplified when the DTP system has direct online access to product data that consistently updates the integrated product information when layout alterations are made. The intuitive user interface facilitates fast location of information and simple navigation in the product database structure. By using predefined layouts, you can automatically place information from the database in your layout software in double quick time. Once in place, data can be synchronized at any time with current information from the product database.
