I'm using a Xerox Docucolor 250 with an EFI Rip. To print out mailings we started using the "Create Master" / "Use Master" option in the print driver. Theoretically you print the "master" to the printer (non-variable information) using the "Create Master" option. Then print the variable data file using the "Use Master" option. From what I've read it only rips the master file once, and rips the variable data on the fly. However It's taking forever to actually print this way. It's like I'm printing each VDP print piece separately. I started a job of 900 odd mail pieces and it ripped and started printing after about 5 hours...just insane. Anyone have any ideas about the xerox "freeflow" VDP solution or what I may be doing wrong.
