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.
