Enhances productivity with parallel processing and programmable, re-usable print queues
Benchmark security features are customisable to provide the right protection for any business
Part of the FreeFlow collection of products and partners that will help you reduce costs and increase productivity

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"
