VARIABLE PRINTING

Adding personalization and variable print can add definite impact to your project (and your ROI).  Personalizing can also lower your cost per response while increasing response rates dramatically.  Garner can quickly and professionally personalize any number of pieces for the recipient – full-color and black-and-white.

Our XMPie software allows us to personalize text, graphics, images, charts, and more.  We can also add dynamic maps that lead customers or prospects directly to any location.  Add a CrossMedia campaign to really create a one-to-one “conversation” and connect with your customers.

Get personal with your customers and print variable info on your mass mailing!

A better prepress workflow is here


One of our newest investments is now up and running.  We’ve upgraded our prepress workflow software and RIP to Rampage, an advanced solution for assembly, proofing, and plating.

What does this mean for you?  An improved proofing and pre-print experience that’s faster and more accurate.  Rampage works seamlessly with your files and our equipment – assembly, proofing and plate creation.  Advanced automation makes proofing quicker and because Rampage is PDF-driven, many jobs can go straight to preflight saving time.  Visit the Rampage website to learn more.
