VIPP

VIPP is an acronym for Variable data Intelligent PostScript Printware. The output of this technology consists of a PostScript stream in which reusable images occur only once.

The main difference between VIPP and Optimized PostScript is that images are cached using a proprietary VIPP specific mechanism instead of PostScript forms. The cached images are stored in print ready format.

Print Technology specific settings

  1. Don't spool images (EPS, TIFF, JPEG): This option allows you not to send the recurring images twice to the RIP. The output will only contain references (by filename) to images stored in the project folder.

  2. Project Folder:This option allows you to store recurring images on the fly, and before printing the job, to a "project folder" on the (VIPP enabled) RIP. The folder name can be specified in the Print Dialog.

Encapsulated VIPP supports the following image formats: JPEG, TIFF, EPS and PDF.

Note: This technology requires a RIP that has been enabled for Encapsulated VIPP, and a hardware key that has been upgraded to enable VIPP. For more information on how to upgrade the hardware key, see Upgrading PrintShop Mail.
