Same print, different text for 1,500

[cartoad]

I have a potential order of 1500 small digital prints, all the same background, but each one will need a different name on them. Is there a function in Corel (have X4) or Flexi that I can load up the names and it will automaticaly chage the names each time I print?
thanks

I did a quick google of "variable data corel" and came up with this

Hope it will help you. I know certain versions of flexi have variable data options, but not sure which ones.

Corel has this, as does versaworks. I'm sure there are other rips that do it also.

In your manual, look up "variable data" and there should be something in any case.

The basic principle, is that you create a "variable data field" on your artwork - usually a rectangle with a spot colour outline - or there is a "wizard" like in corel.

You then have a list of names (one value per cell in say excel) - then load this "database" up to your program.

The program then generates the files automatically for you based on the info you've supplied.

Instructions and procedure vary depending on the system/program.

You can do it with Arrange > Auto Serialize in Flexi.

corel is great at this... we do it all the time for trophy plates.

Use CSV file for variable data with print merge function. Then in Print Preview (after merging to new doc) you use the imposition function to load up how ever many units you want on one sheet.
