Since 2005, Fujifilm Graphic Solutions has selected DesignMerge as their Variable Data solution for all of their Digital Press offerings. Fujifilm offers a line of digital printing press models integrating digital color printing into your current workflow and enabling DesignMerge to print variable data on demand.

An advocate of the PPML (Personalized Print Mark-up Language) workflow, EFI has given DesignMerge their "Official QA Approval". DesignMerge also supports the FreeForm workflow through the Optimized PostScript driver; the fixed layer is cached, as it is in Freeform, with only the variable layer processed for each record. In addition, the EFI DFE's support Xerox VIPP and Creo VPS, also available through DesignMerge.

Meadows Publishing Solutions is a full member of PODi (Print On Demand Initiative), a market education and development initiative sponsored by leading vendors in the digital printing market, and responsible for the ongoing development of the PPML specification.

DesignMerge was originally selected by Xeikon as the variable data solution for their CSP line of digital presses. Xeikon now distributes the DesignMerge PPML and PrintStreamer-1/Book Ticket driver to existing DCP and Barco/PrintStreamer customers.

Meadows has formed an alliance with the Canon Alliance Marketing Program. A workflow that includes DesignMerge® and a Canon CLC® device allows users to quickly and easily create variable data output in Canon digital color. DesignMerge and the PPML driver have been successfully tested for compatibility, and designated by Canon U.S.A. as “Canon Compatible”.

HP selected DesignMerge as a variable data solution for their 8500 series printers in 1998. Today, the DesignMerge PPML driver in conjunction with HP/Indigo digital presses is a powerful solution for producing full-color variable output.

Supporting the Creo VPS (Variable Print Specification) language, DesignMerge provides a choice of platform for a Creo VI workflow. The Spire DFE also supports Optimized PostScript and Xerox VIPP, making the Spire and DesignMerge a highly flexible solution for variable information output.
