application integrates seamlessly with Adobe InDesign and is just the tool users in commercial print environments
and vertical business fields need to produce sophisticated personalised one-to-one documents.

can be variable. Thanks to efficient plug-in
technology, this versatile VDP software integrates
seamlessly with Adobe InDesign, enabling users

in their familiar application and minimising
the learning curve.
n Documents of any length and complexity are
easily customised with Printgroove VDP Darwin –
there’s no need for scripting or programming.
The software includes all features required to
design, author and manage personalised documents,
facilitating the creation of full-colour VDP
masters for personalised print jobs. This makes
it a true production tool, capable of working
with comprehensive databases and letting users
create complex one-to-one marketing campaigns.
n With Printgroove VDP Darwin, creating different
document versions for different types of recipients,
up to the full customisation of documents, is fast
and easy. This includes the quick compilation of
new communication tools by integrating transaction
information with news and promotions, giving
recipients a completely new, unique communication
experience.
n Beyond the versatility and flexibility of Printgroove
VDP Darwin, the advanced Printgroove VDP
Darwin Pro software offers an attractive, enhanced
functionality. The personalised-image feature for
