Overview of Spire CXP6000 Color Server
The Spire CXP6000 color server is an on-demand pre-press system that
uses Creo Spire advanced pre-press technologies, to drive a Xerox
DocuColor 6060 Digital Color Press.
As an optimal digital color solution for printers, the Spire CXP6000 color
server enables you to print from Windows, Macintosh, and UNIX® client
workstations. The Spire CXP6000 color server processes image files in
page-description language (PDL) formats—for example, PostScript, PDF,
and Variable Information—using RIP (Raster Image Processor)
technology. The system converts image files into a suitable RTP (Ready-To-
Print) format for direct, high-quality digital printing. The Spire CXP6000
color server also streamlines the printing process by allowing printing with
preset workflows.
In combination with the Xerox DocuColor 6060 Digital Color Press, the
Spire CXP6000 color server enables you to efficiently print flyers,
brochures, pamphlets, dummy catalogs, short-run trials, and print-on-
demand publications. When installed as a fast, network printer with the
Spire CXP6000 color server, the Xerox DocuColor 6060 Digital Color Press
prints up to 60 full-color A4 (210mm x 297mm) or Letter (8.5 inches x
11inches) pages per minute.
