Underneath all this sophistication and features lies the most powerful print engine. The seamless integration of the Adobe® PDF library™ to the Shiraz RIP technology means that no matter what print jobs are thrown at the RIP it will process and print these jobs accurately, quickly and easily each time and every time. The specially designed Shiraz printer drivers make sure that all media and ink usage are fully optimised.

The Live Polling of printer status and information by the server minimises the user intervention and ensures the smooth running of the production. Any changes in the printer status is automatically picked up by the server and acted upon accordingly. For example a media change that results in a different available print area will trigger an automatic re-nest of print jobs or holding of jobs that do not match the newly loaded media type.

The easy and step by step interface guides you through the complete process and enables even the novice operator to create quality media profiles. There is also the option of creating or editing spot tables that will be used by the Shiraz RIP when needed. All leading brands of colour instruments are fully supported.

To make sure the smooth running of the system the Shiraz Server software package includes a number of very useful tools. These include, automatic updating to ensure the system is always kept up to date. Remote connection software that allows qualified Shiraz RIP engineers to remotely access and diagnose or help with any queries and many other useful tools.
