Chicago Variable Data Printing
Variable-data printing is a form of digital printing that allows elements like text, offers, and images to be changed from one printed piece to the next. Each printed piece becomes a unique document personalized for the recipient. The variability between documents is limited only by the data that drives the campaign; it can be as simple as printing mailing information or using complex rules and scripts to swap images, copy, color schemes and formatting.
Kelmscott’s variable-data expertise helps you engage your customer, communicate your offer and message, and increase responses compared to static marketing.
