Features

Enjoy blazing speed on VDP files

Fiery servers perform exceptionally well on variable data printing (VDP) jobs, with performance from 2 to 50 times faster than other digital front ends (DFEs). The VDP Resource Manager, part of Fiery Command WorkStation, lets you store, view and reuse RIPped objects to eliminate bottlenecks and allowing VDP jobs to print faster than ever before.

Render complex variable elements correctly

Proprietary rendering technology prints opaque, overprinted and transparent objects correctly, giving designers confidence that complex graphical elements will print as intended. As the only server to support PPML 3.0, Fiery DFEs enable the use of transparency, even across variable and reusable content. Fiery features such as VDP Record Range Printing and intuitive visual previews make it easy to print VDP jobs correctly and efficiently.

Support for all VDP languages

Fiery servers support the most industry standards and legacy formats in the market. So you can take advantage of the latest VDP technologies, no matter what workflow or VDP authoring software you use.
