I have a large (1000+) page variable data job in a PS file.
I have a requirement to have every second page on a different stock than the first. I know this can be achieved by using set MediaColor SetPageDevice calls in the Postscript for every page. This kind of thing seems to come up fairly often so I'd like a reusable solution.
Now this has been tested to work, but i'm wondering. Is there any software out there to automate this workflow.
EG: point it to a PS file and say 'Every 3rd page will be on Yellow stock' click 'Go' and it will update the PS file with the correct code to enable tray switching.
The RIP that i'm printing to has no option for something like this so it has to be done in the postscript. I wrote a fairly dodgy script that went through and did this as a once off, but I was just curious if there was software that could automate this.
Regards,
