55-5 Printing variable data documents with FreeForm Combining the FreeForm master with the variable document When you print a variable document to the EB-105EX, you specify the FreeForm master created from your master document with the Use Master print option. The EB-105EX combines the raster data of the variable document with the already RIPped FreeForm master, creating a new raster data file. The merged raster file can be softproofed (before it is printed) in the thumbnail windows of Command WorkStation, Fiery Spooler, or Fiery WebSpooler. For more information about soft-proofing and thumbnail windows of Command WorkStation, see the Job Management Guide. Combined document A master document can include more than one page. When you print a variable document and specify a FreeForm master that contains multiple pages, the variable pages are combined with the master pages in a cyclical fashion. The following example illustrates how a variable document combines with a two-page master document.
