TIFF/IT-P1 filter

The TIFF/IT-P1 filter converts TIFF/IT files into preseparated PostScript files, with one separation per page, and with options for resolution, anti-aliasing, and compression.

TIFF/IT-P1 is a widely used format for prepress preparation in traditional printing environments. It is also the most common file format for the transfer of final print job data from one print platform to another.

The TIFF/IT-P1 filter is a feature of Fiery Graphic Arts Package, Fiery Graphic Arts Package, Premium Edition, and Fiery Productivity Package. To apply this filter, the Hot Folder must be connected to a Fiery server that has one of these enabled.

The input file types for the TIFF/IT-P1 filter are .fp and .ifp.

Note: Because TIFF/IT-P1 can be multi-part files, we recommend that you set the time interval to check for jobs to 10 seconds or more. This will prevent problems that may occur if files are still copying during the conversion, which could cause the job to fail. For more information, see Create a new Hot Folder.
