Making the Move to Variable Data Printing

Pick the Right Vendors

Once you have determined the kind of applications and print hardware that will meet your needs, be sure to select vendors who support a variety of data streams. You don't want to lock yourself into any proprietary tools, but you do want to be sure that the applications you build to print on one device are easily transportable to other devices. This gives you the flexibility of choosing the hardware and software best suited to your environment at the most attractive prices—another advantage of AFP.
