I work for a small company using one Canon ImageRunner 110, very similiar to the Digimaster 9110.
We are using PlantPress 3.0 for the Variable application. My biggest problem with vdp is getting a useable data file from the customer.Text is either in ALL CAPS or missing some fields. I have had to learn more about Excel & VBA than I really wanted to, & this was mostly on my free time. If you face the same, one of the best things (for Free) that I can offer is

I would love to hear more about the NexPress. We got into the "Quick Print" market with the 110. Then I had to find a niche for vdp. One thing that seems to be common sense for the client is numbering. So we do alot of 2 & 3 part numbered forms, for far less than our typical source for crash numbering.
Currently working on a vdp job that prints for a national association every quarter, they actually wanted us to compile the data from their 5000+ roster, I have convinced, I hope that I will create a template of the needed fields, then thier roster should submit that, instead of 1000 Excel, 1000 Word, 1000 tab delimited & 1000 csv files & then trying to match up the fields. Blew thier minds when it came time to tell them that the photos & logos also had to be referenced in the data file.
So, if you are the operator, then education of both sales & client staff is essential, before you get in way over your head with time constraints. Like with the above, if 1 minute per data file, if 5000 members, then how many minutes to compile a MasterData file? Not including poorly scanned or cropped photos & logos.
