Variable Data (Part 1) Aim Small, Miss Small

PPML is an open standard that makes variable-data jobs print faster by allowing a printer to store text and graphic elements and reuse them as needed. This eliminates the need to send the same code to the RIP multiple times during the same print job.

PPML accomplishes this in two ways.

• Object-level granularity: This gives printers (output devices) the ability to understand and manipulate the objects that make up a page by storing the variations of those objects on the print controller.
