Xerox CX Print Server User Manual
A variety of Variable Information printing
The CX Print Server is the most robust and highest performing Variable
Information (VI) platform available. One reason for this is its ability to deliver the
right level of programming and processing power to enable VI across all leading
formats. Program the simplest to most complex VI jobs using either Creo VPS
(Variable Print Specification) or Xerox FreeFlow
®
VI Interpreter and PPML. You can
even add VI functionality to Adobe
®
Postscript®and optimized PDF files. In short,
the CX Print Server is built to support your complete variable printing requirements.
Flexible connectivity
The CX Print Server supports a seamless connection with Brisque and Prinergy
workflows, eagerly adopted by commercial printers. The CX Print Server’s JDF
Support enables the execution of JDF job tickets, automatic mapping of JDF
parameters into the Creo job parameters, and creation of JDF outputs. The CX
Print Server integrates into the entire FreeFlow Workflow Collection, which includes
Print Manager, MakeReady, Process Manager, Output Manager, and Web Services.
High-end digital color production.
Commercial printers may revere Creo for its excellent color quality, but the CX
Print Server includes features that go much further to address the specific needs
of graphic artists and creative agencies. For example, its color-management tools
yield unmatched output, while its workflow is easily integrated with the high-end
digital color production environment. So you can consistently control your print
jobs and ensure stunning results.
Industry-leading color
When it comes to color, the CX Print Server has an outstanding pedigree.
Creo’s color output is proven to meet even the most stringent demands of colorcritical applications. With features like DeviceLink color emulations, Full Auto Frame
for automatic trapping, and a direct Pantone
®
path, the CX Print Server supports
every level of color management and processes you will ever need.
