Simplified User Interface
Simple operation means for us a simple user interface with a clear structure and fast access to important functions for the layout design. Our ribbon bar therefore adapts to the screen size and current workspace to displays available options
Many functions supporting your daily work in layout design, such as automatic text to block scaling, several alignment functions and automatic font adjustments, to name just a few examples. The display of live data from other data sources together with Phantom fields for non-printable blocks will help you to get an overview of the whole layout
Integrated Printer Drivers
There are more than 500 printer drivers tightly integrated in PRISYM Design. These native drivers allows us to get the best performance out of your printing system through the use of intelligence in the printer. While other software packages using Windows printer drivers and send content as a large graphic to the printer, Prisym Design will use the small and fast data transmission via internal printer functionality
The built-in drivers will make printer administration very simple as the print settings are managed in the layout. Of course PRISYM Design also support windows printer drivers, if you can't find your printing system in our huge driver list
Variable Data Content
To use variable data within label designs is an important requirement for todays effective management of layouts. Databases and macros will help to reduce the layout templates to a minimum
PRISYM Design supports various variable types like prompted variables for data input before printing, database variables to access your product data and various time and date variables. Some special features are possible by macro and block variables plus various output formats, as well as variables for background and foreground color in color printing
Database Connection
Only central data management allows a secure label printing process with correct product data. If this data is listed in a simple Excel sheet or grabbed from an Access database or SAP & Co; PRISYM Design is able to use it. Through universal ODBC database driver's we can access various data sources: Access, Excel, SQL, AS400, Oracle, Lotus, dBase, Paradox, IBM, MySQL and more
Since databases often contain a lot of tables and columns, PRISYM Design will help you creating the database variables through a database wizard. With this wizard you have all database variables available with a few clicks and directly ready to use them in the layout
Barcode Wizard
Simple barcode printing is no longer the most important aspect within the use of barcodes. Terms such as GS1, EAN, UDI and HIBC also define the data structure to be used. Our Barcode Wizard in PRISYM Design will help to create these barcodes and our mobile apps allow a fast check of data contents
Our wizard will help you in choosing the correct EAN and GS1 identifiers, shows information on the data content and calculate the necessary check digits automatically. Our macro functions and block variables further simplify the production of double check digits in the HIBC primary and secondary codes
Images and Symbols
To give you fast access to common images, we have added an image library of pictures and symbols licensed for use in PRISYM Design. This library includes icons for the textile sector, for the medical industry as well as in areas of packaging and recycling
What images are used, can also be defined on databases. In the layout, Prisym Design will support you with functions of scaling, aspect ratio and anchor point of images for variable usage. The various rendering methods for converting color images and the 1:1 option for high-resolution printers, will optimize the print output
External control via Automation
PRISYM Design provides interfaces for external control via Automation to integrate the label printing in your own processes. This starts with the internal scripting language PrisymBasic in macros, extended with the use of command files up to the complete external control via Visual Basic or C#.

Whether it is a simple printer selection via barcode, a complex background data requests to your ERP-system or a PLC connection to production line printers: with our module technology we could bring the programming costs into an acceptable range
