Output Types
|
|
|
Elk River Systems' line of software products uses a sophisticated printing engine that tiles your project across
each piece of paper. This method of printing your project gives us great control over how each 'tile' is numbered
or how the variable data is selected each 'tile'. There are three methods of printing: horizontal, vertical, and stacked (z-sort).
Horizontal Output
Vertical Output
 |
Vertical output prints the 'tiles' starting in the upper right corner of the page. It then prints down the page, wrapping
around to the upper left corner when it reaches the bottom. This is useful for creating books of tickets that can easily
be torn out.

Stacked Output
 |
Stacked output (z-sort) prints 'down' through a stack of paper. If you have a print run of 50 sheets, the first tile would be in
the upper left corner of the first page. The second tile would be in the upper left corner of the second page, the third
tile in the upper left corner of the third page, and so on. Once it reaches the bottom of the stack of paper, it wraps
back around to the top page to print the next tile. Once the project is finished printing, it will already be collated,
saving you the time it takes to collate it by hand.
In addition, you can also specify how deep you would like each stack to be - instead of simply printing 'down'
through all the pages, the run will be broken into smaller stacks. For example, if you are printing 1,000 pages
and you specify a stack depth of 200 pages, your run will contain five stacks. If each page had six tles on it,
the first stack would contain tiles 1-1200, the second stack would contain tiles 1201-2400, and so on. So if
you set the stack depth to the number of tiles in each book of tiles, the tiles would already be sorted into
booklets - all you need to do is cut and staple them!
