1 The concept of digital workflow
The development of digital workflow can be said to have gone through several different stages. The early digital workflow was limited to the prepress area, and the traditional manual work was implemented in a digital way. The current concept of digital workflow has been greatly expanded. Business, design, prepress, printing and postpress are all within the scope of the workflow process. It uses digital production control information to integrate the three sub-processes of prepress processing, printing and post-press processing into an inseparable system, so that the digital graphic information is transmitted in a complete and accurate manner and finally processed into a printed product.
The generalized digital workflow includes two parts: graphic information flow and control information flow. Graphical information flow is information that needs to be printed and transmitted to the public, such as text, graphics, and images. The control information flow is the control information for the correct production and processing of printed products, such as printed product specification information (layout, dimensions, processing methods, modeling data), quality control information required for printing processing (printer ink control data, postpress processing Control data, etc.), equipment scheduling information for printing tasks, etc.
2 Several Digital Workflows
For different printing businesses, there are also different digital workflows, such as commercial digitalization, printing workflow, packaging digital printing workflow and newspaper digital workflow. Different digital workflows have their own characteristics. The four digital workflows are described below: Prinergy Prinergy, Apogee Apogee, Gypsophila, and Founder.
1) Prinergy Prinergy
Creo's Prinergy Prinergy Workflow uses open industry standards PDF and JDF, and its open architecture accepts a variety of industry-standard file formats, and can connect many output devices. At the same time, in combination with JDF, the PDF optimization process, trapping, color management, page proofing, and layout output of the file can be automatically completed. For customers, the full advantage of PDF file processing is to ensure the consistency and reliability of the file in the production process, and to be able to face different output devices. Prinergy's work management process is designed according to the modularity, so in addition to selecting the module for processing files, the user can also select other different modules to perfect the service. Prinergy can be integrated into a network from the designer's original idea, to the design and production, to the output printing plate delivery and printing production. At the same time, the modular design can also allow users to freely choose according to their needs, which is more economical, and can continue to improve as the business expands to ensure investment growth potential.
2) Apogee
Agfa's Apogee digital workflow consists of several important modules, each module running independently on each server, with controllability, openness, and scalability. Apogee Process Production manages and processes PDF files that meet printing needs and can provide two different processing modes: based on layout flow and page-based flow, fully meeting the requirements of different production environments. The QuickFix function enables last minute revisions, which greatly saves processing time. Apogee also has the following extraordinary performance: 1 to improve overall production efficiency. Printing is increasingly developing in the direction of small batches and short delivery cycles. Apogee achieves the improvement of production efficiency by increasing the degree of automation. The original manual operation has become automatic operation, and adopts some new and standard data formats. The processing speed is faster; 2 The error rate is minimized. For the problems that often occur before printing, Apogee has taken many measures. Users no longer have to worry about displaying the correct files on the screen, but they find that they have lost words, garbled characters, picture shifts, and color errors. 3 They can be very flexible. Arrange production. Page-based processing makes Apogee highly flexible and helps users to better adapt to the market's uncertainty. 4 Because Apogee uses distributed operations, many modules can be placed on the print base and in remote offices. After the office finishes its work, it can perform preliminary processing, generate PDF files, send it to the printing base, make plates, and print. Changed the original business model, so that the user's market reach can be extended; 5 Apogee and other digital workflow, can reduce the operator, reduce labor costs, thereby reducing production costs; 6 Apogee digital workflow is in India Used before, but it also brings many benefits to the subsequent process.
3) Heidelberg Heidelberger's metaDimension is a modular, highly flexible, and practical PDF digital workflow for all its output devices from Heidelberg. It can increase or decrease the required functions with the customer's own needs. It can both interpret PDF files and interpret PS files. Gypsophila is a job ticket-driven workflow with an intuitive graphical user interface, color management within RIP, OPI within RIP, trapping within RIP, PDF file preflight and trapping, digital proofing, flexible pages Imposition, support for all excellent screening methods from Heidelberg, input and output of TIFF-B files, generation of CIP3 files, connection of Heidelberg Delta technology, and other rich functions.
4)Fangzheng Changbei is a fully-fledged digital printing solution that is fully compatible with various common design, typesetting software formats, and various types of Founder's typesetting formats. It adopts the international standard PDF as the process internal format and takes the lead in adopting the latest CIP4 organization in the world. The JDF specification as an electronic job ticket passes job parameters throughout the process, normalizes jobs, checks for preflight, traps (optional), color management, screen previews, digital proofing, hand-to-hand imposition, hanging nets, digital printing Equipment output interface, CIP4 ink control output (optional), job management tracking, data statistics archive and other processing. Not only greatly reduces the operational redundancy and errors in the traditional production process, but also helps users achieve network production for team collaboration and perfects business management. This ensures that full-speed driving of high-performance digital printing equipment achieves maximum production efficiency and wins maximum for users. profit. The characteristics and advantages of the Founder Changliu workflow are as follows: 1 The world takes the lead in adopting the latest JDF as the electronic work ticket for the process; 2 uses PDF as the internal standard document of the process; 3 opens the CID font embedding, fully supports the Chinese font; 4 based on the Internet , Support remote submission, remote proofing, remote management; 5 flexible and practical job tracking audit, a complete business management system based on large databases; 6 most compatible digital printing equipment and various CTP/CTF equipment and digital proofing equipment; 7 The Chinese-language browser operation interface follows the user's operating habits, and is easy to learn and use. 8 Account management is used to ensure system security and reduce misuse; 9 is a customized process application solution; 10 is closest to the user's localization and personality. Solutions and support services.
