Creo Variable Print Specification
Creo Variable Print Specification is the Creo developed formal
language designed for effective production of VI documents.
Creo Variable Print Specification is comprehensive and can specify
a complete range of VI documents. It also provides the means for
efficient implementation - fast and efficient data processing, and
storage prior to printing.
A Variable Print Specification job consists of the following
components:
•
Booklet
A personalized copy of a document within a single print run
where pages and/or elements within a page may vary from
booklet to booklet.
•
Sub-job
All copies of a particular document—for example, book,
brochure, or flyer—within a single print run. On the IC-301 print
controller, sub-jobs can be deleted, archived, or reprinted at
any time. However, you can still maintain reusable elements for
future runs.
Reusable elements are cached elsewhere, so only
the unique data, which is embedded in the job, is deleted.
•
Reusable Elements
Self-contained graphical entities that can be line art, text, raster
images or a combination of these types. Reusable elements are
represented in PostScript and can be stored as EPS files when
appropriate. Reusable elements include clipping and scaling
instructions as well as the image data.
Note: Grayscale TIFF and EPS images that are created in CMYK
applications (such as PhotoShop) are counted correctly as B&W instead
of Color in both the IC-301 print controller and the bizhub PRO C500
printer billing meters.
