Fiery FreeForm Kit
The FreeForm Kit is a free download available at efi.com for customers to obtain everything they
need to create successful variable data printing (VDP) jobs quickly. The FreeForm technology
already exists in their Fiery server at no extra cost. It’s suited to a wide range of VDP applications
and is driver based, so it requires no specific VDP software application to work. Anyone can use
the kit!
The Fiery FreeForm Kit demonstrates how to use this technology and start increasing the
application’s portfolio with effective, personalized marketing pieces. The FreeForm Kit comes with
templates of typical jobs in metric and inch versions that can be used “as is” or modified to produce
marketing pieces such as real estate flyers, direct mail cards for retail, fundraising mailing cards
and certificates and awards.
The kit also comes with sample databases in Excel spreadsheets with simple, step-by-step
instructions on how to use and modify the templates. No other technology provider can offer you
this built-in capability in such a simple, accessible way!
