Problems with Creo VPS Rip

[sarahd]

I have recently been given a VDP project. I am publishing groups of 10-30,0000 text varibles out of Pageflex 11 x 17 duplexed . My rip time on the Creo takes forever when I publish as a pdf. I when I publish as a VPS my rip time is cut in half but the output is terrible. There are white lines running through the document anywhere there is a text box or image box and high res images look jagged and pixaled along the edges.
Has anyone had this issue with optimized rips?
Are there any adjustments that can be made to the rip to fix this?

My suggestion would be to create smaller pdfs - output the document in chunks of 1000-3000 pdf pages, and rip them that way. This is the only way I've found to print very large vdp, especially when I cannot use PPML. Will you end up with a lot of PDFs in a folder? Most definately, but I've found the time taken to do it is well spent considering the time saved at the rip.

I hope someone else has more information on any adjustments that can be made to the Crep rip.

Are you picking high quality for the images on the creo? You can't for text in a vps job but you can for images.

Thanks Mark and JasonSpr.

JasonSpr we are able to print pdf's fine but wanted to take advantage of the faster rip time on the vps file with the Creo server. Mark we are printing on high quality always, we found this really makes a difference in output no matter what the file type.

Guess we will keep experimenting, thanks again
