HP SmartStream Ultra Print ServerHigh-performance print server for 24/7, high-volume multi-press environments

Workflow efficiency and scalability for a multi-press environmentWith centralized workflow control, the Ultra Print Server routes jobs to multiple remote HP Indigo presses within the print shop. It enables customers to submit a job that flows automatically to the RIP and then to the specified remote press. The Ultra Print Server can scale up to 24 presses per configuration and up to 96 rips. It has the flexibility to manage hot folder-based independent software vendor applications, such as imposition and photo enhancement solutions.

Auto load balancing for more efficient use of resourcesThe Ultra Print Server automatically determines which RIP resources are available and then routes jobs accordingly.

Automated workflow and production trackingThe Ultra Print Server increases production flexibility by separating the RIP and print functions. It can RIP jobs directly to the press, or RIP ahead of production and export them to a virtual press or external repository for future printing. Through job statistics and system reports, it lets you maintain efficient workflows and keep production on schedule.

24/7 reliable operation The Ultra Print Server provides reliable, consistent, high quality processing of photo images through color management settings that are defined in hot folders and controlled through the RIP.

Integration with HP SmartStream Photo Enhancement ServerThe Ultra Print Server is tightly integrated with the Photo Enhancement Server solution that brings a complete solution for high-volume photo specialty printers. The photo enhancement physical servers can be inserted into the Ultra rack and thus provide an integrated high-speed solution.
