5-4 Printing Variable Data Documents
they must be formatted to conform to the layout of the master document. To do this,
you create a document with the correct formatting, and then add the variable
information in the appropriate places.
For efficient variable data printing, create a variable document that has significantly
more pages than its corresponding FreeForm master.
When you have created a variable document, print it to the Fiery and specify that it be
combined with the corresponding FreeForm master (see
page 5-8 ).
Combining the FreeForm master with the variable document
When you print a variable document to the Fiery, you specify the FreeForm master
created from your master document with the Use Master print option. The Fiery
combines the raster data of the variable document with the already RIPped FreeForm
master, creating a new raster data file. The merged raster file can be soft-proofed
(before it is printed) in the thumbnail windows of the job management tools.
For more information about soft-proofing and the thumbnail windows of the job
management tools, see Chapter 4 of the
Job Management Guide .
