The first thing many people have requested us to provide is an encryption technology that will provide the sensitive nature of the variable data. Variprint Assistant offers built in encryption to prevent data from divulging to unauthorized third parties, easing the concern if customer has to outsource printing to another company.

In a busy production environment, Assistant can play a role for allowing users to design the variable data job, preview and approving the design till all is correct, leaving the task to merge data as a last minute operation. Not only this will increase productivity but also help to secure variable data will only be applied when it is ready to go for final production.

Another example of this can be applied to branch operation where the branch can have a copy of the Assistant, do all their work, but send it back to the headquarter for merge and printing. Assistant will only be supported by VariPrint Professional.

We also see opportunity of this being offered by some larger print companies as a sales aid to their business. Very often they offer Assistant to customers as a tool to increase their print business. Since data is encrypted, they feel safe this investment will be protected. VariPrint is so easy to use, training and support is really a minimum effort.

Key features are:

• Same graphical user interface as VariPrint Professional.
• Assistant cannot save and print final merged document.
• There is a watermark on preview in Assistant.
• Assistant will have the encryption lock to the variable data database.
• Encryption for Assistant is permanently related with VariPrint Professional, no encryption key is required. The owner of the Variprint Professional can duplicate this software to their customers without restriction.
• Commercial arrangement for this product depends on a number of circumstances, number of free distribution copies, and duration of use, support and maintenance. We welcome interested customer to talk to our sales representative for detail.
  
  　

Datar is used to extract data from plain data source file to standard database format according to presetting criteria. It consists of many built-in data transformation modules and scripting tools. Most of plain data formats can be processed through built-in data transformation modules. If the data structure is special, the user can make use of our scripting tools to do extracting by programming.
Besides, this utility also provides data verification and filtering. It is handy for data preparation in processing bills and statement printing.
