hello everyone
Steven Jackson within printables where
how
and today I'm gonna talk
and show you a little bit about variable
data printing variable data printing is
the process abusing a large format
printer or printer cutter
and being able to create a file that
will include to that
in having it call from an outside source
or another file to import data into ills
automatically creating a a graphic
custom graphic for you
on that sounds a little complex and a
lot of times when people see it for the
first time it seems a little complex
but it's really not that difficult in
we're going to lead you through the
process and show you some examples today
on the software that I'm using today is
rolling burst works
it comes packaged with any of the role
in her cutters or most to the wrong
o'connor's it does have a variable data
printing
option that is included with it most
group of course
will have a variable data printing
option in them
and some other than that don't have
included in their basic models
have an option for you to upgrade to it
but just for today we're going to use
the
role in Bursa works in the
demonstrations today if you look at the
graphic that's on the screen right here
I have several different areas on and
I've got this
Eagles try the local high school is the
Eagles
and we're making Sims some t-shirts for
them
they're going to have their graphic in
there but we want to be able to quickly
and the names and numbers of the players
so we've created a graphic and you can
see around it I've got this
this line right here in a place like it
it's a hundred percent cut contour
which is our command name to be
rich software to cut instead of grant
it iss pyaar ko you can see in crowds
indicators a spa car because a little
late got my corner there
shows us at get these two other fields
here that i'm gonna fill in
one here if you look at that when I
selected the show's BDP
or variable data printing underscore
player name
and then the other one has BDPA again
variable data printing
him player number so I set up my two
fields where I wanted added to fill into
and then I will send all of this to you
the
rich software that i'm gonna use of
select oldest
and then I'm going to you exports I go
to File
annexed work and will or replace the 1i
created earlier when I was testing all
this out
we get the Eagles pride underscore
variable data printing VDP their
I'm gonna do this page only in selected
only I don't want to take anything
outside of this
so I export that file and yes I want our
place it
and we're going to tell it not to
convert the spot colors that I want them
to stay in their native their
it he despot core value because it's
actually a command function to the rich
software
that he'd again today cut consorts gonna
tell it to cut
enough print their or its gonna do that
VG or variable data printing and tell it
to input some data into this field for
us
so we want to maintain the spot colors
as is their name
so we'll head okay that'll save that for
us and the second example we have today
is we're gonna do some control tax
so on the second page here I have a a
control tonight
control tag inventory jack which ever I
needed this is probably one of the most
frequently used functions for variable
data printing is having a
the ability to automatically fill in the
fields on something like this
again I have my cut consort lol be
rip software work soon tell the the
printer cutter to cut
and then I have down here you can see
have created a field its variable data
printing
EDP underscore serial number so this one
here and also exported earlier so I
would go through the same steps as
exporting into an encapsulated
PostScript which my rips off work in re
now for both the is I'm gonna need to
you
have eighty comma separated value
file that's created in Excel that will
have the data that I want employees
didn't
those heels and you can see it created
this Excel spreadsheet may I have this
same VTP
underscore player name and PDP
underscore player number I kept the
lettering
and the the upper case lower case the
same exactly the same as I had it in
that
spot color they had created in corral
where the different field
you can see I have two players names and
the players numbers all lined up here
so I have the data that I wanna input
into dat
variable data printing option right here
and I'll save this is a comma separated
value file so I would go to use a vast
Intel and I wanna save it as a CSP are
common to eliminate
and eliminate limited excuse me on that
file so yeah Eagles on gonna save over
the one that I had before
telling me yes I want to replace it and
then it's also time it is not compatible
was some other formats but i wanna in
this format for the job that we're doing
be other one that I had created was the
serial number less
remember I had then specific field in
the ground file
name BTP variable data printing
underscore serial number
no one is a little trick I can see here
and type in all these numbers about
wanting to you but that
added a long time there's another trip
you can use
now see if I wanted it to go into one
number increments
I can do 12 and 13 and I set up that I'm
going to increase by one
each wannabes select both these know
what I get that little black square in
the corner there
I can grab it and write it down however
far I wanna go
when I like go it'll automatically count
up the numbers for me and keep them in
the sequence that I had
so it's a really quick way for us to
create data yelled at all
eat into variable data field
in the rich software and be able to
create these property control tags:
very very quickly easily I daresay this
one earlier so we're not gonna go
through that again
although or two are risks of her again
I'm using wrong person works
you may be having any number different
rip software out there
me the set up an execution a variable
data printing is very somewhere between
all of them
but you'll have to look at your vendor
specifics for the one that you're using
in person works here I'm going to bring
and the Eagles job first
so I'll go to where I'd say then and
there's my Eagles BDP file so I'll bring
that one in
and I can see right off the bat that
I've got a cut
contour line in there so this is gonna
print and cut
and I've got some variable data items in
here that I can access
notice and abortion up here I don't see
that wine or the the cock onto or the
variable data printing in here
so what we'll do is we'll go over to the
settings for the job when I open this up
I can see my job right here you see that
the red dotted lines that are moving
around some people call me
dancing answer marching ants but the
indicate where the printer cutters gonna
go back and cut
it recognizes that spot color for me is
a command function
and look great in that spot color better
to go back and cut
me but I don't see my verbal data fields
and I'd set up the name
in the number that were there so i'll do
is i'll go down to the tab over here
this is terrible data
when I click on that one there still
don't see what feels but I have the
option to enable herbal data printing
for this job
sewing select that their it opens up and
attributes: window
where I can adjust things and now I have
the option also to open up
in bring in that comma separated value
file this CSV file that had created
they had the names and numbers evolve it
the items that i won input into the
skills
so go to where i'd say that one and we
call that one Eagles
and once we open then you'll see real
quickly
their day in court all the player names
it highlighted the first row there and
recognize that it was a BTP
or herbal data printing line and it has
a player name player numbers we had
set up before and then the names all the
way down and all the numbers
just like they were in an Excel
spreadsheet or we saved a CSV file
so I can see real quick all these on
here when I select
any individual I can change that
individual working american
double click on it and I can rename it
to say Jackson
so I can edit the data if I need to go
back and do that hopefully we get the
correct data only put it in the first
time
I can also change the attributes to the
entire column and that single one there
or the entire column by selecting the
column
and you can see over here that my burble
data the old
as I'd set it up in Crail it's highly
recommend should grab those in move
those around if I want to
but I set him up for a while before now
I can look at the different attributes
for this
I have text in here are it was an image
I could have put an image source file
in the head Excel spreadsheet in told
instead of an actual name our number
I would have given it a path to where
the picture of the personal laws or
whatever picture want to bring in
so said a player numbers maybe I'd make
that image in the different player and
it would include ed
image into the area over here if I named
it
imagine given it up after that but in
this example reason text
I can change the fonts I say I wanna do
220
I can take a look at how that feels the
hill then I can change the tracking
which is my spacing between the letters
maybe a little bit more spacing in
between
remember this is affecting everything
down the line here on this poll
Howell I can change how old mucho pasady
it has
I can you on a sizing soffit goes past
the edges up click on our sizing there
and you can see it Rotterdam because
it's going off up the largest one in the
entire group
and then it's going to be if I didn't
have auto sizing for this
I would take it off it let's go to
Wilkinson here take off
are sizing you can see it's too big it
120
so by using our sizing it keeps
everything in the entire column
able to fit in there and keep some
kisses consistent between all of them
I can change my alignment and everything
I wanted top left bottom left center
whatever I want honest
all click outside like I I can tell
drawing on a white background this means
it'll
only draw on something that's a white
background be designated as white
you can see my traffic up here headway
background in there
so it's only drawing on that will help
control the to protect our back and
we'll take it off the drawing on white
background
can also change my affects I can give in
italic
I can bowl money my whole I'll text in
the air getting underline if I wanted to
you
give it a drop shadow once I have had
that drop shadow now I have the option
to change is here
and I want it will take some RGB color
let's see if we can get somewhere
maybe a purple color there for my drop
shadow
I can change the offsets was a little
bit closer I can get this an outline
color
I wanted to there's all sorts a
different variables in here that I can
change
I can even change the background color
up this where that it sent
so I could make it into you any number a
different color sunburst gonna give it
some fancy can see if they're
it would fill that hole field with the
call it a night pay
all but I'm not gonna I'm gonna make
that transfer could we don't want
anything in there
we also have the other column here the
player number so we need to adjust that
one
it will always like that whole column
it's gonna do the whole column for us
and we'll see what I a hundred will do
for their
that's not too bad for my font size all
changes to maybe an aerial
old all do aerial and will make it Bowl
totaled
the crown there and I could go through
and change my italicized at a drop
shadow any of those different functions
like that
but I've got this pretty well set up
where I wanted to be so once we're done
with that their
remember in our layout we only had one
RV
items showing but now you can see that
created all unused by
twenty men variable data field in there
and feeding in the variable data from
that
comma separated value file to CSV file
that we create an Excel
and now I have all set up in order to
print and cut all the way down
this is gonna make things much faster
easier for me if
the team had supplied me with the names
and numbers I wouldn't even need to do
to terrible much to adjust added
feel header at the top of it and I can
create your very quickly
so that example for the teachers there
what's look real quick
at the tag that we made earlier Sorkin
and that one to the Q
here and we'll go down to the property
tax should open on that
in we can see again it's got the
variable data field in their in a open
up the job
go down to my variable data printing
function on able variable data printing
again I need to open up that Excel
spreadsheet that we created so go
looking for that
and I'm getting here serial number says
I created before
and immediately after all my serial
numbers all set up on this
I do want to change the alignment on its
all change my linemen to bring it over I
wanted to go left
next to where the control tag number
portion is
you get here is a little grainy this is
Anna a low Res
review and I don't need us to look
perfect on the screen
so what I've done that I go back to my
layout and you can see only a little bit
she can see this better
all the different tags in here and its
creator in sequential number
and I've got a very quickly and very
easily set up so I can you control tags:
property inventory tank
anything like that very quickly on using
the variable data function other rips
off for the night
so this is a quick overview some
examples of variable data printing
own I hope that this has been helpful
