Cacheable Execution Options
PlanetPress Suite offers compatibility with some of the major caching methods available on the market. This page explains
each caching method and how it is used.
None
This caching method really isn't one. In essence, using this option will remove any sort of caching from the document when it
is printed. This means that print jobs will most likely be much larger, but in some cases they will be compatible with older
printers, especially those who do not support PostScript level 2 and 3.
Generic
This is the default caching method, and uses PostScript level 2 in order to cache images in your job. Any image that is repeated
more than once is cached and referred to throughout your job. The more an image is used, the more the job file produced by
this caching method will be smaller when compared to using the None option.
VPS
This method is used on printers that use the CREOVPSas a RIP. With this caching method, any page set as an Overlay or a Vir-
tual page (See Page Types) can be set with the Cacheable option. Any static object placed on this page will be cached. For
more information, see VPS Caching.
If you place any variable data on an overlay or virtual page, the Cacheable option will have no use, since each individ-
ual page will be different, thus not cached.
VDX
This method caches virtual pages, used through the N-Up object. To the contrary of other caching methods however,
VDXfiles need to be sent to the VDXRIPmanually and are not "printed"by PlanetPress Suite. VDXoutput cannot be generated
directly by PlanetPress Design, the document must be sent to the PlanetPress Suite Workflow Tools and used in a process. For
more information, see VDX Caching.
FreeForm 1 and FreeForm 2
The EFIFiery RIPs use either FreeForm 1 or FreeForm 2 caching methods, which are very similar except for the limitations of
the master forms used. In FreeForm 1 you are limited to 100 Master Forms that are numbered, whereas in FreeForm 2 you
can choose a name for the Master Form and the 100 limit is not present. For more information, see FreeForm Caching.
FreeForm Caching
A feature of these RIPs is that you can create a master document, and have the content of a page of that master document
appear as the background on the pages of a document when that document executes. Only one page of the master document
appears on a given page of the document.
All the pages of a FreeForm document must indicate the number of the FreeForm master document to use when printing. If a
master document contains more than one page, when a document that calls that master document executes, it cycles through
the pages of the master document. For example, if the master document contains two pages, and the document that uses the
master document outputs six pages, the first page of output contains the first page of the master document, the second page
the second page of the master document, the third the first page of the master document.
