Fiery Server features for VDP

Variable data support in the features of the Fiery Server, such as Fiery Impose and Mixed Media, let you create custom layouts and apply different media and finishing options to your variable data jobs.

You can also manage reusable objects for a variable data job using VDP Resources.

Hot Folders with VDP imposition

You can impose a variable data job using Hot Folders when you submit it to the Fiery Server. You must set up a proper VDP imposition template for the specific Hot Folder in the Hot Folders application.

Mixed media with VDP

You can apply Mixed Media settings to all VDP jobs. When using Mixed Media settings, the Fiery Server recognizes each variable data record as a separate job. For a VDP job that is not imposed, Fiery server applies the Mixed Media settings to all the VDP job's records.

VDP Resources

Reusable objects are required images that you must download to the Fiery Server for variable data jobs that contain variable elements. These reusable objects are stored on the Fiery Server and cached as a group.

The VDP Resources feature available from Command WorkStation lists the reusable objects, letting you delete them or leave them for future variable data jobs. VDP Resources is compatible with the following VDP languages:
