VDP resources
VDP (Variable Data Printing) jobs use master elements, and global and reusable resources for variable elements
inside jobs.
You can use FreeForm masters for any fixed-element data you might combine with different data from day to day.
For example, you can store a letterhead template as a FreeForm master and use it repeatedly as the background for
different letter content (the variable-element data).
Global resources are required images that must be downloaded to the Fiery Server for VDP jobs with variable
elements. These global resources are stored on the Fiery Server as a group inside each individual project.
VDP Resources allows an Administrator to manage disk space on the Fiery Server by:
•
Managing FreeForm masters
•
Viewing and deleting global resources
•
Allowing global resources to reside for future VDP jobs
•
Archiving and restoring global resources to the Fiery Server
To access VDP Resources, do one of the following:
•
Connect to the desired Fiery Server and click Device Center > Resources > VDP Resources.
•
Select Go > Device Center > VDP Resources.
Manage FreeForm masters
FreeForm variable data printing sends the master-element data for the job to the Fiery Server and rasterizes it
separately from the variable-element data.
The master-element data is stored on the Fiery Server in rasterized form as a FreeForm master, and can be used as
often as required with multiple sets of variable-element data.
