Fiery server features for VDP

Features of the Fiery server, such as Fiery Impose and Mixed media, allow you to create custom layouts and apply different media and finishing options to your variable data jobs.

Using VDP resources, you can also manage reusable objects for some variable data jobs.

The Fiery server is compatible with VDP imposition with Fiery Impose for a variety of VDP languages.

When you impose a variable data job, you can choose a single record imposition scheme or a multiple record imposition scheme.

Hot Folders with VDP imposition

You can impose a variable data job using Fiery 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 Fiery 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, the Fiery server applies the Mixed media settings to all the records of the VDP job.

VDP Resources

Reusable objects such as images used in some variable data jobs may be 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:
