How do you figure? It still involves putting ink to paper. Last I checked, that's Printing.

Not enough ads on just one little coupon.

Bet it uses some special ink that is for digital machines only.

I've been working on QR code marketing materials for us.
I also get to learn to to track them. And started a Google+ page for our business.

What are you leaning towards for tracking & analytics? I know using the Goo.gl shortening to generate them offers a small amount of traffic data but to get really fine-grained feedback you almost have to go with a 3rd party service, of which there are far too many. it's kind of interesting stuff once you get into it, assuming the marketing is handled well & there's some actual benefits to be had.

86 XMPie and get Printables (Storefront, FusionPrp and Expressions). With Printables storefront, it generates unique PIRLs and tracks them. Takes you out of the equation. Plus, FP bought DirectSmile a while back and also creates VDP raster images.
[edit]oh yeah - the new version of FP also generates unique QR codes

FusionPro is also NOT compatible with Lion yet. Which I discovered after I installed, re-registered & had live jobs ready to process.  :death:

OK, reviving the DEAD! (thread)

If you guys were a start up business (first sale last week) and you needed a QR code supplier, who would you go with, or would you start by generating them yourself?


Apologies in advance for NOT going back through all 16 pages of this thread, but today is my day "off", crammed in between the 5x12hr shifts I just finished feeding the press, and the next 4x12hr shifts I'm about to start! The only day that doesn't SUCK in this deal ... payday!

You can make your own with google.

http://createqrcode.appspot.com

I make it at the largest size. Open in Photoshop. Convert to gray. Change to bitmap at 2400 dpi. Save as EPS and you have a high res vector one color QR code.

(Oops...that's not google but it works.)

There's a lot of free QR Code generators online.  We use http://qrcode.kaywa.com/ which gives you a .png to save and also a piece of html code to paste into your blog etc.

That's the same one I use. I open the .png in Photoshop, convert to a 1200 dpi bitmap .tif and resave.
