Sažetak
Variable graphic prepress is also called print on
demand and it allows personalisation of graphic
products. There are many commercial software
tools which allow needed functions for variable
data printing but many are either too expensive
or limited to special kinds of digital printing
machines. For smaller companies that deal with
printing or packaging this cost can be avoided by
using scripting technologies and tools that they
already own.
Most of the companies dealing with graphic
services own software which is used daily
in digital prepress. Those applications give
advantages like prepress processes acceleration,
automation and error reduction. One of the
advantages they give is also scripting. By making
a script that executes layout preparation in some
cases operation times can be reduced, processes
can be automated and formatting errors can be
reduced. With scripting and standard prepress
tools layout and imposition of documents with
variable barcode data can be crated.
This article deals with variable graphic layout
and imposition production by using scripting
technologies. It proves that it is possible to
optimally solve complex tasks of graphic prepress
that are otherwise hard to achieve, or that are only
possible by using scripting models, in standard
graphic prepress programs.
