Overview of Spire CX250 Color Server
The Spire CX250 color server is an on-demand pre-press system that uses
Creo Spire advanced pre-press technologies to drive a Xerox DocuColor
240/250 printer-copier.
As an optimal digital color solution for printers, the Spire CX250 color
server enables you to print from Windows
®
, Macintosh
®
, and UNIX
®
client workstations. The Spire CX250 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-
To-Print) format for direct, high-quality digital printing. The Spire CX250
color server also streamlines the printing process by allowing printing with
preset workflows.
In combination with the Xerox DocuColor 240/250 printer-copier, the
Spire CX250 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
CX250 color server, the Xerox DocuColor 240/250 printer-copier prints
up to 50 color or monochrome pages per minute.
The Spire CX250 color server combines RIP functionalities, automation,
control tools and special hardware development capabilities with PC
architecture.
