Xerox Creo Spire Color Server Specifications

We work…how you work…so you can work how you want. 

By supporting the most common offset workflows, including Brisque

®

and

Prinergy

®

, the Creo Spire Color Server makes sure you get the most out of

your current investment in technology. By leveraging Networked Graphics

Production

TM

(NGP), hot folders, and CT/LW, Creo enables a process that 

is complete and robust in graphic arts, while accommodating the unique

requirements of digital printing. In short, Creo doesn’t force you into 

working in new ways—it simply makes the way you 

already work better. 

In addition, Xerox FreeFlow

TM

, which is based on open architectures and

standards, ensures you have simple access to the industry’s most 

comprehensive collection of Xerox and partner solutions that span all

aspects of workflow—from design to delivery.

Control only Creo can provide.

With a wide range of practical tools to automate, facilitate, and streamline

job preparation, Creo engineers obviously had prepress operators in mind

when they developed their color server for the iGen3. Functionality like 

pre- and post-RIP imposition to handle last-minute changes, preview/edit

capabilities, and post-RIP brightness and contrast controls all contribute 

to jobs printing exactly as they are intended.

To boost productivity, Automatic Picture Replacement (APR),

a powerful feature exclusive to Creo Color Servers, allows

operators to work with low-resolution images before jobs

are sent to print. The high-resolution images are held at the server

and replaced on-the-fly at print time, saving both RIP time and disk space. 

Variable-data printing made easy…and powerful.

With the Creo Spire Color Server, printing a variable-data job is as easy 

as printing a static job. All the most popular variable-data formats are 

supported, including Creo Variable Print Specification (VPS), Xerox VIPP

®

,

PPML, PDF, and PostScript

®

, so you can choose the right variable-data

authoring application depending on the requirements of the job. 

And the best part is: you don’t have to sacrifice any quality, productivity, 

or convenience to print a variable-data job. All standard Creo features, such

as pre-RIP and post-RIP preview, dynamic page exceptions (enabling 

multistock jobs), imposition, image enhancements, and color management,

are supported for variable-data printing. Each element (image, text or

graphic) is RIPped once and can be reused many times within the same 

or other jobs. 

Creo has always been synonymous with exceptional color. And now, 

working in unison with Xerox iGen3 Digital Production Presses, it has

evolved to become much, much more. You have powerful variable data

capabilities, productivity-enhancing features, and the color you’ve come to

expect from Creo—all wrapped neatly in a Color Server that lets you work

the way you want, the way you’ve already mastered.
