Features - FreeFlow Print Server Versions 7 & 8
  • Improved performance and ease of use:
    • Newly designed Graphic User Interface (GUI) makes job processing as simple as click, drag, and drop
    • Powerful job control allows you to hold, interrupt, proof, reprogram, and forward jobs from the interface to maximise print engine productivity
    • Multiple queues are available for programming so that you only have to set up a job once
    • Process JDF job tickets through hot folders to better plan, schedule, and execute job deliveries
    • Imposition support for both static and variable data streams (including VIPP®, PPML, PDF, PostScript®, and PCL5c)
    • Support of native file format avoids file conversion and loss of data
  • Colour
    • The dynamic DeviceLink ICC profile feature provides real-time build of custom RGB and CMYK DeviceLink ICC profiles, allowing you to emulate any printing device
    • PANTONE licensed solution offers optimal colour representation for over one thousand solid PANTONE colours as well as enhanced colour matching, including accurate tints and highlights
    • Supports Duotone, Tri-tone, and Quad-tone, as well as "Custom Spot Colours" and "Device N", supported by the Quark®/Adobe® suite
    • Automatic Image Enhancement enables you to quickly and easily apply correction for photographs
    • Advanced Preview lets you generate a high-resolution preview, zooming in to the pixel level, to give you absolute colour control - export your preview to a PDF to send to your customers as a soft proof
  • Security
    • Data security with multiple data streams supports true native printing so data does not have to be converted or transformed
    • Authentication features limit access to authorised users, locally and remotely, including the level of authorisation with strong passwords, login, and tracking
    • Security management feature allows you to adjust a range of security features to tailor security exactly to your needs, plus offers options such as a removable hard drive and disk overwrite
  • Variable Information
    • The hardware platform allows you to efficiently run hundreds of small jobs concurrently, or a single large job with thousands of data entries
    • Enhanced processing speed and capacity handle more objects, more complex pages, and more VI thanks to parallel job ripping, variable caching, and other performance enhancements
    • Unique imaging applications are available with the VI Interpreter software. These special fonts add security to high-value documents with specialty imaging options such as MicroText® Specialty Imaging Font, FluorescentText Mark™ that's visible only under UV light, and Glossmark™ Images for "digital spot varnish"
