The fastest performance possible for your variable data print jobs
Harlequin VariData (HVD) greatly accelerates the printing of variable data jobs that are either PDF/VT regular PDF. It is one of the unique features of the Harlequin Core that gives it amazing power and productivity.
VDP jobs put unique pressures on your digital front end because if every page is different then each page must be rendered at engine speed or faster. So it must process variable jobs as efficiently as possible, to ensure that the digital press runs at rated speed.
With Harlequin Core driving your press you’ll get the fastest performance possible, whether it’s for jobs heavy with live transparency or variable vector graphics and images.
HVD comes in two forms, providing maximum benefit from any post-RIP recomposition technology you may have, but also delivering acceleration entirely within the RIP if that's what you need.
HVD intelligently recognizes variable data and static backgrounds in jobs enabling them to be greatly accelerated, even when the PDF file is not constructed very efficiently.
Supports PDF/VT
Provides infrastructure for an OEM to build a PDF/VT compliant solution. Harlequin OEMs have been shipping DFEs supporting PDF/VT since IPEX 2010
Manage rasters post-RIP
Supports an external mode where rasters are managed and merged post-RIP using vendor-supplied technology
VDP optimization
In an internal mode it provides an easy entry for digital press vendors into VDP optimization by caching and merging all rasters within the RIP itself
Fastest print engine
Together with multi-threading, Harlequin Parallel Pages and native 64 bit application is one of the features that makes Harlequin the fastest print engine available
With Harlequin as the engine driving your press you can be assured you’ll get the fastest performance possible, whether it’s for jobs heavy with live transparency or variable vector graphics and images.
