Performance Technology
Spool — RIP — Print Simultaneously
Over the years, Fiery servers have incorporated various innovative technology features to improve throughput, such as RIP-While-Print
®
,
RIP-1-While-Receive-2, ECT Compression, RIPChips
®
and Continuous Print.
Designed to enhance the Fiery system’s overall performance, these features are now unified as the Spool-RIP-Print Simultaneously
feature. Users can now spool, RIP and print a single multiple-page job or multiple jobs simultaneously using these Fiery technologies:
• ECT Compression: Provides definite compression ratios and virtually lossless image quality. Compression software decreases the
amount of memory necessary to store documents during processing and enables faster printing of documents.
• RIP-While-Print: Allows one page to be printed while subsequent pages are simultaneously processed.
• Continuous Print: Enables processed pages to be stored in memory before printing, eliminating the need for the copier or printer to
cycle down between unique pages.
• RIP-1-While-Print-2: Allows the Fiery server to work simultaneously on two jobs for the RIPping and printing processes. Starts to RIP
a new file while the previous file is printing.
• RIP-While-Receive: Allows a job to be RIPped while it is still being spooling into the Fiery server for a much faster first and last page
out. Now there is no need to wait for the entire job to spool before beginning to RIP the file.
Benefits:
Increases the Fiery server throughput by delivering faster output to the printer device.
Increases productivity by having the Fiery server more available for processing jobs.
Reduces bottlenecks at the RIPping stage.
Fiery SmartRIP
Fiery SmartRIP is a software architecture that uses intelligent processing to accelerate the RIPping process and provide the fastest
speeds possible for all hardware configurations.
Users will especially notice the benefits of SmartRIP technology in the following instances:
• The combination of an Adobe Configurable PostScript Interpreter (CPSI) RIP with Fiery SmartRIP technology yields dramatically
faster page processing by recognizing file characteristics and
using adaptive techniques to accelerate color, compression and
rendering processes.
• The improvements in overall throughput optimize the print time of
the merging of VDP jobs.
• The efficient use of memory and disk space improves efficiency
and predictability to support VDP.
• The enhanced image processing allows operators to print
composite overprints of CMYK and Fiery Spot-On™ colors. This
key feature enables Fiery servers to pass the Altona Test Suite.
• The Fiery system achieves higher performance and more efficient
use of multiple processors while accelerating color compression
and rendering.
