VDP resources

VDP (Variable Data Printing) jobs use master elements, and global and reusable resources for variable elements inside jobs.

You can use FreeForm 1 and 2 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.
Note: VDP Resource Manager is supported on Command WorkStation v7.0 and earlier with Fiery system software FS600/600 Pro and earlier.

VDP Resources allows an Administrator to manage disk space on the Fiery server by:

  • Managing FreeForm 1 and 2 masters

  • Viewing and deleting global resources

  • Allowing global resources to reside for future VDP jobs

  • Archiving and restoring global resources to the Fiery server

If VDP Resource Manager is supported for your Fiery server, you can access VDP Resources: connect to the Fiery server, click the More icon, and choose Device Center > Resources > VDP Resources.
