The Mercury RIP architecture is a parallel processing framework for dynamically managing multiple Adobe PDF Print Engine instances, working in tandem on multi-core, networked, or cloud platforms. It’s a scalability platform optimized for outputting variable data printing jobs to the fastest digital presses 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.
Tile parallel processing is a feature of the Mercury RIP architecture. It accelerates system performance for large surfaces by subdividing them into smaller sections, each assigned to a separate instance of PDF Print Engine. Tile parallel processing significantly reduces overall rendering time for posters, signage, and architectural drawings by processing multiple tiles in parallel and then seamlessly reassembling them.
