Graphic Blocks

You can also create freely definable shapes for the OTP editor, which your customers can drag onto the templates. Upload these in Magento in the section CloudLab – Data center – Personalization – Shapes in SVG format. Please make sure that the SVG files are created with InDesign. Other programs will not save the parameters necessary for printQ, and files will therefore not be processed correctly.

By the way, you can also specify, in which place of the sort order you want the new shape file to be displayed in the OTP editor.

In the corresponding personalization template, click Upload PDF and then set Allow Add Graphics Block to “yes”under the sub-item Page Settings. Your customers will now see the sub-item Shapes in the OTP editor of the respective product.

If a shape has been selected there and dragged into the editor area, it can be edited with a click. Another click on the color circle changes the color of the shape. There are two options: The left tab (drop icon) is used to select the fill color, the right tab (pen icon) is used to select the frame color.

LINKING PDF/VT WITH OTP

You can also link the PDF/VT functions with the OTP editor (see page 5.2), thus enabling processing of data sets directly in the OTP editor. After you have uploaded the PDF for the respective personalization template, set Allow Pdf/Vt to “yes” in the sub-item Textblock Settings under Upload PDF.

This leads to the following change in the OTP editor: A More-button (three dots) is displayed for a text block. If you click this, text fields in columns and lines will appear in a pop-up window. Here you can individually define text blocks or insert them as a whole using a suitable data record file (CSV or Excel). The values will be displayed in the preview. You can switch between the data sets using the corresponding small menu at the bottom

QR CODES

You can enable your customers to generate QR codes and have them printed on their products with very little effort. First, tick the box “Yes” under Allow Add QR Block in the section Upload PDF – Page Settings in the system for the respective personalization template(s).

An option to generate QR codes will then be displayed in frontend. The associated output options can be viewed with a click on Ornaments” – “QR Code Image.

The following contents and/or mechanisms can be linked to a new QR code via the now appearing menu:

Website URLs
Text
vCard downloads (via a contact data form)
E-mail addresses • SMS text templates to a specific number
Call commands to a specific number

Once the desired template has been created, a click on „Generate QR“ will generate a code, which can then freely be placed on the template
