VI Document Formats 393
VIPP 2001 and PPML
The PPML format is a new XML-based industry standard that print-
technology manufacturers developed for the high-speed production of
reusable page content.
The Spire CXP6000 color server supports VIPP 2001 and PPML formats.
Some of the features that are included enable you to:
•
Process VIPP 2001 and PPML jobs efficiently
•
Manage VIPP 2001 and PPML reusable elements
•
Import jobs in various VI formats to the Spire CXP6000 color server
•
Import VI elements to the Spire CXP6000 color server and submit
them for pre-cache
•
View VI elements in their structural hierarchy
Both PPML and VIPP 2001 have a hierarchical structure. Document
components are separated from their submission file and can be organized
and stored in different levels of the hierarchical structure.
In PPML there is an ability to store different jobs in one PPML file. Thus,
the display in the navigation pane varies from the way Variable Print
Specification and VIPP appears.
PostScript Files
PostScript files are suitable for simple, very short run jobs. All page
elements are re-RIPed for each page. These jobs do not use a VI authoring
tool at all. Instead, they use a mailmerge function in a Microsoft Word
document or a Microsoft Excel spreadsheet.
