XMPie unveils mid-range variable data bundle

XMPie is strengthening its variable-data publishing (VDP) offerings with the release of uDirect Studio.

The package combines VDP software uDirect Standard with image personalisation programme uImage 3.0.

Its uDirect Studio product takes the middle ground between the relatively simple rules and data functionality of uDirect Standard and the sophisticated data and programming models found in uDirect Professional.

The software integrates VDP and image personalisation for Adobe InDesign, Photoshop and Illustrator users.

It also includes support for uChart, which offers provision for integrated variable-data graphs and charts.

XMPie president Jacob Aizikowitz said: "With uDirect Studio, the design and print communities can elevate the impact of VDP by demonstrating that creativity is just as critical as information relevancy."

The company is also set to launch uImage Extension Server for PersonalEffect, its uDirect Studio-compatible publishing software. The add-on improves the overall processing time for uImage-intensive VDP jobs in PersonalEffect.

UK pricing and launch dates were not available at the time of writing.
