Features

The CXP3535 Color Server provides the following main features:

• Creating jobs in RTP format

Using the CXP3535 Color Server, RTP files can be created and stored on the CXP3535 Color Server itself. This enables the user to print RTP data at any time without further processing.

• Powerful document printing capabilities

In combination with the Xerox DocuColor 3535 Printer, the CXP3535 Color Server enables complete printing and processing of documents, including the production of covers and pages on different paper stocks.

• Enhanced job editing

The CXP3535 Color Server enables the user to edit jobs, both pre- and post-RIP. Pre-RIP editing includes full Adobe Acrobat functionality including: deletion, extraction, rotating, adding, and cropping of pages. Post-RIP editing includes deleting job pages and merging pages from different jobs to a new job. This minimizes the need to re-RIP jobs.

Product Overview 7

• RIP - Adobe Postscript Level III and Extreme Certified technologies

The CXP3535 Color Server uses the industry-standard Adobe RIP, with enhancements for Continuous Tone and Linework. Data are processed separately as Continuous Tone and Vector Data layers for increased efficiency and merged during printing.

• Ready-to-Print Job Preview and Editing

The CXP3535 Color Server enables the user to preview RTP jobs up to pixel levels to see all job details and to verify job quality and content post-RIP. It is also possible to view a thumbnail list of job pages, or the actual raster pages.

• Job Management

The CXP3535 Color Server enables the user to monitor job progress during all stages of printing. Among other functions, you can promote, demote, delete, monitor the import process, and estimate when a job will be fully imported. You can also abort jobs during RIPing or printing, as well as archive and retrieve jobs.

• Enhanced Text and Line Art Quality – FAF (Full Auto Frame)

The CXP3535 Color Server enables the user to choose superior text quality using the Creo proprietary algorithm. This function enhances the quality of diagonal lines, borders, blends, and small text. The Creo anti-aliasing causes blends to appear smooth with no banding and diagonal lines to appear crisp without jagged edges (do not use this option with VI jobs). The user may also choose superior image quality with the Creo proprietary smooth scale algorithm. This function improves the quality of images containing various resolutions (such as images taken from the Internet).

• Trapping

The CXP3535 Color Server uses the well-known Creo algorithm to trap job information easily. The FAF algorithm has been tailored for digital printing.

8 Chapter 1 – Welcome

• Color Management

The CXP3535 Color Server has a number of color management tools and utilities that will help you to improve the quality of your jobs. The CXP3535 Color Server enables you to modify color on-the-fly, even for images that have already been RIPped. This functionality includes application of brightness and contrast adjustments, as well as changes to image gradation and calibration.

• Variable Information Printing

The CXP3535 Color Server enables processing of Creo Variable Print Specification and Xerox VIPP file formats and PPML for efficient VI (Variable Information) processing and printing. Repeated elements are RIPped once and cached, so there is no need to continually re-RIP them. The CXP3535 Color Server also provides easy management of VI elements, including previewing, deleting and updating. The CXP3535 Color Server also offers imposition for VI jobs, the only digital solution in the industry with this capability.

• Creo Workflow Extenders

This is a set of Adobe Photoshop and QuarkXPress software plug-ins and extensions that facilitate printing with the CXP3535 Color Server. These extensions are located in the shared CXP3535 Color Server or on CD #3 supplied with the CXP3535 Color Server software kit.

Utilities folder on the

• Job Batching

In order to prevent cycling down, the CXP3535 Color Server streams several jobs into a single batch to prevent the printer from cycling down between jobs.

• Web Viewer

The CXP3535 Color Server Web Viewer provides online Spire information and can be accessed from client workstations. The user may view the CXP3535 Color Server queues, Storage folder and Alerts window, for remote job monitoring. In addition, the Spire Web Center enables the user to download remote client tools, utility applications, color profiles, and print drivers or view Spire related documentation.

• Gallop

The CXP3535 Color Server Gallop workflow enables the user to begin printing a defined number of pages before the entire job has been RIPped. This enables you to print and RIP concurrently. Printed pages can then be deleted automatically to free disk space.

Product Overview 9

• Hot Folders

For every published virtual printer, a hot folder is automatically created to enable the users to easily submit PDL jobs to the CXP3535 Color Server. To use the hot folders, simply drag and drop your jobs onto the required hot folder.

• Integrated Preflight Check

The CXP3535 Color Server Preflight check enables you to perform a preflight check of key job components, before a job is sent for processing. This feature detects missing job components all at once, saves inefficient processing time with constant error / failed messages and consequently shortens the correction cycle dramatically. The following key job components are checked:

 Fonts

 Hi-resolution images

 Spot colors

• Graphic Arts Port

The Graphic Arts Port (GAP) on the CXP3535 Color Server connects with other Creo workflow systems, including Brisque™ workflow software and Prinergy® workflow management, and opens the server to popular graphic arts file formats, such as TIFF, TIFF/IT and CT/ LW, so you can redirect urgent jobs from offset to digital printing, or proof offset jobs on a digital printer.

• Spire Spot Color Editor

The CXP3535 Color Server enables you to tune your spots according to your personal requirements. In addition, you may create custom spot colors with fixed CMYK values according to your personal requirements.

• PDF2Go

CXP3535 Color Server contains a built in proofing tool - the PDF2GO port. The PDF2Go port converts RTP files to standard PDF files, which can then be easily submitted by email for proofing, shortening the approval cycle significantly.

• Mixed Media Documents

2. The processing sub-system produces an RTP job from the input file.

3. The RTP job is stored on an image disk.

4. When printing starts, the RTP job elements on the disk are

decompressed and merged to the correct location on the page. This is done using Creo hardware.

5. The image delivery sub-system converts the RTP information into the

print engine format.

6. The image delivery sub-system transmits the page information to the

print engine.

7. The page data is delivered to the Print Engine and the job is printed.

Product Overview 13

CXP3535 Color Server Network Printers

For Macintosh and PC networks, the CXP3535 Color Server provides three default network printers, known also as virtual printers.

Virtual printers are a function used for automating workflows, which then define job streaming. They contain preset workflows that are automatically applied to all print jobs processed with that virtual printer. There is no need to reset job settings for each job, thus increasing printing efficiency.

Note: The job (print) parameters set in the job (from the client) override the parameters set in the virtual printer.

The three default virtual printers are:

• SpoolStore

Files are spooled directly to the Storage Folder and await operator processing. You can only import PDL files (such as: PS, PDF, VIPP, VPS) to the spool store, not RIPped - RTP files.

• ProcessPrint

Files sent to this virtual printer are processed and printed directly to the Xerox DocuColor 3535 Printer via the CXP3535 Color Server.

• ProcessStore

Files sent to this virtual printer are automatically processed and stored in RTP format. After processing, the files are stored in the

of the CXP3535 Color Server until the print operator re-

Folder

submits them for printing.

With printing workflows tailored to your job requirements, the CXP3535 Color Server enables you to:
