The RIP processing time on a 680 page document was reduced from one hour and 47 minutes to just 8 minutes and 24 seconds. Our other beta sites achieved similar results." The VPS-Enhanced Postscript Emitter reduces RIP processing time by storing repeated document components such as photographs, logos, graphics and text on a CreoScitex Spire color print server, and processing them in advance. Instead of sending information to the printer again and again for each printed copy, data is downloaded and processed just once. This process helps digital color printers achieve full rated speed when printing variable-data documents such as full-color account statements with customized charts and graphs or coupons. Document Sciences is among the first to implement VPS, a specification developed by CreoScitex, whose color print servers drive high-volume Xerox Color Printers.
