Archival Printing Museums have the same needs for variable data as any corporation; museums do fund-raising, museums sell products (from their gift shop). Museums need to reach their audience to attract visitors. But there is an additional need; museums have slide archives. Museums also have the rights to the images in their collections. Art historians, anthropologists, and students seek access to these images for their research. As more museums publish their own catalogs on-line, wouldn't it be great if you could go to this catalog, and click on the images you would like a color hard-copy print of, and then get the prints in the mail or by FedEx?. FLAAR has 50,000 images of pre-Hispanic art, architecture, and archaeology in its photo archive. Professors say that their students would like access to this material. Scholars need the material for their research. Ideally, everyone could just type in keywords, see what is available, select the photos they want, and if a variable-data press could print a high-quality digital print of the 12 items out of the 50,000 that are needed.

FLAAR's archive is being developed into a data asset management system to be used as a success story for on-demand printing. The Xeikon 5000 did an impressive job with printing the grayscale images of FLAAR's Mayan archive. FLAAR's color images of Mayan artifacts from the Popol Vuh Museum also had impressive results on the Xeikon 5000.
