The Mercury RIP architecture is a parallel processing framework for dynamically managing multiple instances of Adobe PDF Print Engine, working in tandem on multicore, networked, or cloud platforms. It’s a scalability platform optimized for outputting variable data printing jobs to the fastest digital presses on the market today and tomorrow. It’s most useful for packaging, industrial, personalized marketing communications, and statements. A Mercury-certified system maximizes hardware efficiency, ensuring the most efficient use of system resources. Processing of jobs, pages, and complete signatures occurs in parallel and can be load balanced, so that no CPUs remain idle while jobs are waiting to be rendered. With the Mercury RIP architecture, PDF Print Engine can scale up to drive high-volume production on a single press or across multiple presses.
