Prepress workflow of Holiday Handmade Cards digital Union

Prepress workflow of Holiday Handmade Cards digital Union

 

Main features:

High quality graphics kernel

 

After more than ten years of technology accumulation, Jia Meng CoreImage engine is the core module of page information processing in the union process. It is built entirely based on PDF technology, and has high-speed multi-task parallel processing ability, which can respond to and process the service requests of various client programs in a timely manner, and achieve the work effect of virtual host. The main functions of Jia Meng CoreImage engine are:

 

Standardization -- analyze and manage the input PS/PDF page information elements, build internal graphics library, and generate standardized PDF pages;

GML-- PDF composition, integration, marking processing;

Rasterization - rendering of the page;

Screening -- binary half-tone processing for specific equipment;

Export - Complete the conversion to other page description languages and the output of raster images;

Printing interface -- Output ink volume preset data suitable for a specific press;

Color management -- ICC-based color management system to complete the conversion and correction of different color Spaces;

Font management - Manage and restore the PS, Truetype and CID font libraries.

 

Good system architecture

The whole process of union is built around the CoreImage engine, combined with the underlying database, to form a client/server working model. Jobs can be managed by customer name, file name, and control priority. It can flexibly adapt to changes in production capacity, and the number of terminals can be continuously increased. The system load can be distributed on multiple computers for assembly line production and greatly improve production efficiency. Peripheral programs include:

 

Union console;
Union process client program;
Jia Meng folding hand layout design program;
Jia Meng free Mosaic design program;
Good union proof system;
Jia Meng output equipment management system;
Union multichannel input system;
Task backup and digital asset management system;
Union printing post press control data interface system.

 

Optimized work interface

The working procedure conforms to the pre-press processing process, and the operation management structure is clear; The overall structure and operation mode are easy to understand, and the terms can read the text; With good collaboration, several operators can parallel process a job at the same time, and can see the progress of work in real time; With a high degree of visualization, including: dot pre-view, plate pre-view, print pre-view, book pre-view.

Module introduction:

normalizer

The normalizer converts pre-press files of various formats (PS, EPS, TIFF, PDF, etc.) into PDFS and previews, which can instantly check whether the files are correct. And for other PDF-based processing of the composition/folding, proofing, output and other processing to provide standard PDF files.

 

Make up/fold hands

Based on the professional folding software Montage, you can quickly assemble the inner pages of books and magazines according to the user's folding and binding methods, and generate plate data. It can automatically complete the folding calculation according to the binding methods such as leveling, riding nails and folding template, and set the finished product size, bleeding and other parameters according to the process requirements, and accurately calculate the position of each small version in the large version. Retention of bleeding to hemming and automatic creep compensation. Free to set small page order, page direction, large plate margin, incision parameters and folding, cutting, alignment, cross line, bite, spine notes, post labels and other marks, and you can arbitrarily adjust the position of the mark in the large plate. Fast color preview, zoom function allows users to directly browse the full page and pagination results. Users can also generate a folding scheme template according to their needs and store it in the template library for call at any time to simplify the operation process.

 

Free composition

Support independent free Mosaic mode, users can according to their own application for the required page free Mosaic, can easily achieve the back registration and other free Mosaic functions.

 

Digital proof

The digital proofing system has good compatibility and excellent color management engine, supports pre-RIP and post-RIP proofing, and provides many functions such as fast pre-display, spot color proofing, linearization, black retention, color fine-tuning and so on. The high-end system supports practical simulation of true dot proofing.

 

1-bit TIFF/ 8-bit TIFF processor

The normalized PDF small pages or large files are screened, and then exported and output standard 1-bit or 8-bit TIFF through TIFF, which can be output by any third-party device or third-party real dot digital proofing system.

 

Device output processor

According to the user's device, provides direct support for CTF/CTP and digital printing system related parameters and document output.

 

CIP3 Ink Control (generates standard PPF)

It can support CIP3 standard ink configuration data, and provide reliable ink track data for automated production, improve production efficiency, and reduce paper waste in machine adjustment.
