Variegator
Variable Data On Demand, On-time, and Under Budget
Variegator 2 unlocks the power of a digital press to produce high-profit variable data print jobs.
Variegator 2 is a user-friendly, stand-alone application that simplifies variable data printing, making it quick and profitable. It empowers digital presses to produce high-margin jobs like labels, hangtags, and flyers with sophisticated layouts featuring images, bar codes, colors, and data through an intuitive GUI.
​
Variable Elements: Variegator 2 supports four variable types—Text, Bar Code, Color, and Image—allowing data to be defined in a single column or a combination of columns. Users can place elements on different layers, with options to lock layers to prevent accidental edits.
​
Built-in Imposition: Create imposed layouts for roll and sheet materials without needing another application. The advanced step & repeat tool calculates rows and columns based on specified output sizes and gutters.
​
Hot Folder Automation: Set up a hot folder that Variegator monitors for data files (like CSV). It outputs jobs using a predefined template, streamlining repeat jobs with new data, especially when integrated with Xitron’s Navigator workflow.
Multiple Databases: Variegator 2 supports multiple databases within a single document, allowing users to combine different fields from various sources. It accommodates common and custom delimiters and supports character encoding for both macOS and Windows.
Enhance Your QR Code (Optional): Customize your QR code's color with flat colors, gradients, or images. Independently set the eye (finder pattern) color and shape, and place an image in the center of the QR code.
