Overview of Spire CXP8000 Color Server The Spire CXP8000 color server is an on-demand pre-press system that uses Creo Spire advanced pre-press technologies, to drive a Xerox DocuColor 8000 Digital Press. As an optimal digital color solution for printers, the Spire CXP8000 color server enables you to print from Windows, Macintosh, and UNIX® client workstations. The Spire CXP8000 color server processes image files in page-description language (PDL) formats-for example, PostScript, PDF, and Variable Information-using RIP (Raster Image Processor) technology. The system converts image files into a suitable RTP (Ready-ToPrint) format for direct, high-quality digital printing. The Spire CXP8000 color server also streamlines the printing process by allowing printing with preset workflows. In combination with the Xerox DocuColor 8000 Digital Press, the Spire CXP8000 color server enables you to efficiently print flyers, brochures, pamphlets, dummy catalogs, short-run trials, and print-on-demand publications. When installed as a fast, network printer with the Spire CXP8000 color server, the Xerox DocuColor 8000 Digital Press prints up to 80 full-color A4 (210mm x 297mm) or Letter (8.5 inches x 11inches) pages per minute.
