Graphic image file output management

Graphic image file output management

With the rapid development of network and digital printing, many graphic and image files are processed and can be output in many ways. However, each type of output device has its own color representation method and corresponding output method. Even if it is the same device, the output image file can not reach the ideal level to a large extent because of the location or applicable object. The effect of image output remains to be standardized.

Just as we need to discuss input compatibility, we should also carefully analyze the different requirements of each output device for output. However, it is impossible for us to develop a set of output solutions for each output device because the adaptability of such a solution is poor. If you use the output manager to analyze and monitor the output process, you can achieve automation, high quality, and good applicability.

The output manager developed by Adobe is to achieve the reproduction of images on different devices by effectively organizing, optimizing, and determining the running routes of pages to numerous RIPs, photosetters, and proofers, and expanding the various elements of the input source.

Output Manager has the following features:

1. Automated workflow management provides customized, print-based processing.
2. User-defined sequences can be organized and automatically run according to the process.
3. The visual status of the interface can display the status of the print anywhere in the entire running network.
4. The tracking of the separation process ensures that all levels of the print are accurately imaged on the same recording device, even if these were separately printed.
5. Load balance function makes RIP, imaging equipment and printer use to the maximum extent possible.
6. Imposition, layout, group edition, and OPI's page options feature can increase productivity and ensure job continuity.
7. The automatic removal process can reduce the time spent processing files repeatedly.
8. Selective RAID and aggregation capabilities reduce the potential for system-to-system compression during production.
9. The scaled industrial standard structure can meet the production requirements.

The combination of the output manager and Autologic's APS3850 imaging device series provides a powerful production system. Once integrated into Autologic's open system architecture, the output manager allows the output device to run at full speed and process the prints to be completed.

At the same time, the output manager can also drive imagesetters from manufacturers such as Agfa, ECRM, Linotype-Hell, Purup, Gerber and Krause.

In addition to the ability to adjust prints between individual output devices, the output manager can also optimize prints based on delivery time.

When the file is imported, the output manager can handle PS, TIFF, or PDF files such as networked application packages, disks, or remote sites. The printed product from the remote site should be RIP first. In order to ensure that no fonts or graphics are lost, the printed product should be proofed before passing or imaging. The output manager client can display the working status of the print product. Each print that arrives at the output manager is documented in a related database system (Microsoft SQL Server) to ensure that it can follow the required steps. Information such as file source, submission time, optimization, and target imaging group are recorded in the input process and can be used for output.

The output manager's monitor can display the status of the print and hardware devices. Prints and equipment are represented by images. The color link between the device and the display can show the running route of the product being processed. If there is a problem with a system device, the device is turned off and the print is automatically input to other image devices. This production process is monitored through dynamic, controllable, and complete sequences that are related to the print, device-based, or can reflect the running or publication of the print.

These sequences can reflect the production process, but also can monitor the work to be handled. Each sequence shows 3 states: Run, Stable and Complete. The operating status indicates the prints being processed and the prints to be processed. These prints are expressed in green. If the number of prints being processed in the sequence exceeds a certain range, the setting range of this setting can be used to increase the feedback rate. The print can be fixed manually or automatically, waiting for output in a stable sequence. The completion status reflects the successfully printed or rejected prints, which are automatically marked. Before the final output, the prints can be input into APS's pre-check software for error analysis.

By defining the production steps, the output manager can optimize the prints to ensure that the most urgent prints can be processed first. Optimization can be set manually to enhance the control of the imaging input. The event prompter allows the operator to execute programs, descriptive languages, and group files, all based on system or application projects.

Printed products can also be automatically deleted upon request. In the other case, you can resort to automated cleanup procedures that are well-adapted, such as deleting by pre-defined daily or weekly cleanups.

As long as you join the APS Platform Manager (a comprehensive Autologic workflow solution), the page can be controlled during production. The APS Platform Manager can provide the visual status of each page and track each incoming and outgoing page for the user's desired target layout.
In the output stage, the output manager can balance the unloading of the output, provide feedback on the state of the output device, and ensure that all levels of each page are passed to the same output device.

Offload balancing can deliver the same amount of prints to each output device: The output manager delivers the same amount of layers to each device, tonal adjustments and some chemical changes or silver recovery on the imaging device.

The Output Manager includes powerful color separation tracking capabilities to ensure that all color layers of a page (even if the printing interval is a few hours) can correctly reach the same imaging device.

The output manager can also group the output sources, in which the faster processing RIP can perform high-resolution final output, while the older, slower processing RIP can be used for low-resolution proofing output. Make full use of your current resources without having to eliminate your hardware.

In combination with APS 32 series imaging devices, the output manager can determine the RIP and imaging equipment needed to make the various devices better utilized and make it easier for operators to make decisions.

The output manager's OPI stores high-resolution images and can exchange graphics as it is output. On the basis of receiving high-resolution images, low-resolution image files can be generated to meet the needs of the composition workstation. It supports high resolution image formats including EPS, EPS with JPEG compression, JPEG (JFIF), DCS 1.0 and 2.0, and 1-, 8-, 24-, and 32-bit TIFF 6.0.

With the preset function of the TIFF view on the PC and the preset function of the PICT view on the Mac, the view file can be generated in the EPS format.

PDF files now play an extremely important role in the output process. The output manager supports PDF files in three ways. Like Postscript, the output manager sends the PDF file to the imaging device for quick output. Then, Postscript is converted into PDF format for rapid delivery, document output, network output, or other uses. Finally, the output manager can generate low-resolution view files in PDF format. This process takes into account the conversion of PDF files into page format output.

The output manager supports the industry standard of the Intel Pentium hardware platform and can fully meet workload requirements. The output manager runs under the Windows operating system and supports all common network protocols. The output manager also supports mirroring software from third parties, as well as external connections for security-supported documents or RAID systems.

Output Manager Aggregation System technology makes full use of aggregation technology to distribute data and perform processing, thereby reducing crushing collisions in the production process. When the hardware device has a problem, the rest can still continue to work.

Output management is a work that integrates the various elements of the input and output process. The output manager provides a very important method for controlling the output stage. When outputting images through printers, printers, and networks, adjust the settings of the options in the output manager to achieve consistent input and output for different output requirements.
