VDP resources

VDP (Variable Data Printing) jobs use master elements, and global and reusable resources for variable elements inside jobs.

You can use FreeForm masters for any fixed-element data you might combine with different data from day to day. For example, you can store a letterhead template as a FreeForm master and use it repeatedly as the background for different letter content (the variable-element data).

Global resources are required images that must be downloaded to the Fiery Server for VDP jobs with variable elements. These global resources are stored on the Fiery Server as a group inside each individual project.

VDP Resources allows an Administrator to manage disk space on the Fiery Server by:

  • Managing FreeForm masters

  • Viewing and deleting global resources

  • Allowing global resources to reside for future VDP jobs

  • Archiving and restoring global resources to the Fiery Server

To access VDP Resources, do one of the following:

  • Connect to the desired Fiery Server and click Device Center > Resources > VDP Resources.

  • Select Go > Device Center > VDP Resources.
