ANSWER: PrintStreamer is a variable-data-printing technology that was introduced in 1994 by Barco Graphics. The PrintStreamer is a buffer between Barco Graphics' "FastRip/X" RIP and the digital press, enabling electronic collation, page picking and unlimited variable data printing. This allows operators to drive the productivity of the digital press to the maximum. The second-generation PrintStreamer is called "PrintStreamer 2," and it was introduced by Barco Graphics in 1999. PrintStreamer 2 can store thousands of ripped color pages and is capable of merging 100% variable data at nominal printing speed. PrintStreamer 2 technology is incorporated into printing equipment made by IBM, Xeikon, and Xerox. The concept is scalable for different press architectures. The interface to the PrintStreamer 2 is documented so that RIP vendors can integrate their RIP technology into the Barco PrintStreamer 2. This makes it accessible for industry standards like PostScript, PDF, AFP, IPDS and other well-known page description languages.        Click here to go to the Solution Finder Menu • Products & Services   • Buy software   • Downloads   • Support • Mailpiece-design site   • Client list   • Company information   • Links • Free newsletter   • FAQ   • Case studies   • Contact us • News archives   • Press   • Customer testimonials   • Home    Search Copyright © 2008 Citation Software Inc. info@CitationSoftware.com 508-436-2543 www.CitationSoftware.com
