Output management of graphics and image files
today, with the development of network and digital printing in full swing, many graphics and image files can be output in various ways after processing. However, each output device has its own color representation method and corresponding output method. Even if it is the same device, due to different locations or applicable objects, the output image file can not achieve the desired effect to a large extent, and the image output needs to be standardized management
just as the input compatibility needs to be discussed, for output, we should also carefully analyze the different requirements of each output device. However, it is impossible for us to formulate an output scheme for each output device, because such a solution has poor adaptability. If we use the output manager to analyze and monitor the output process, we can achieve automatic, high-quality and well applicable output
the output manager developed by Adobe company is to expand the elements of the input source by effectively organizing, optimizing, and determining the running route from the page to many rip, Imagesetter, and proofer, so as to realize image reproduction on different devices
output manager has the following characteristics:
1 Automated workflow management can provide customized, print based processing
2. The user-defined sequence can be output in an organized way, and can automatically run according to the process
3. The visual status of the interface can display the status of prints anywhere in the whole operation network
4. The tracking function of the color separation process can ensure that all levels of the printed matter are accurately imaged on the same recording device, even if these were printed separately
5. The balance function of loading enables rip, imaging devices and printers to be used to the greatest extent
6. The page option functions of make-up, make-up, and OPI can improve production efficiency and ensure the continuity of work
7. Automatic cleanup procedures can reduce the time taken by repeatedly processing files
8. Selective raid and aggregation functions reduce the squeeze between potential systems in the production process
9. The large-scale industrial standard structure can meet the requirements of production
the combination of the output manager and the aps3850 imaging device series of AutoLogic can provide a powerful production system. Once integrated into the open system structure of AutoLogic, the output manager can make the output equipment run at full speed to process the printing to be completed
at the same time, the output manager can also drive imagesetters from Agfa, ECRM, Linotype hell, purup, Gerber, Krause and other manufacturers
in addition to the adjustment of prints between various output devices, the output manager can also optimize prints according to the delivery time
during file input, the output manager can process the PS, tiff or PDF files provided by Rulian's application package, disk or remote site. Prints from remote sites should be rip first. In order to ensure that fonts or graphics are not lost by using APS, prints should be proofed before transmission or imaging. The client of the output manager can display the working status of prints. Each print arriving at the output manager is recorded in a related database system (Microsoft SQL Server), so as to ensure that it can run according to the required steps. Management information such as document source, submission time, optimization and target imaging group is recorded in the input process and can be used for output
the monitor of the output manager can display the status of prints and hardware devices. Prints and equipment are represented by images. The color connection between the device and the display can display the running route of the printing product being processed. If there is a problem with a system device, the device will be turned off, and the prints will be automatically input to other image devices. This production process is monitored through dynamic, controllable and complete sequences, which are related to printing, equipment-based, or can reflect the operation or publication of printing
these sequences can reflect the production process and also monitor the work to be handled. Each sequence shows three states: running, stable and complete. The running status indicates the prints being processed and the prints to be processed. These prints are represented in green. If the number of prints being processed in the sequence exceeds a certain range, the selection range of this setting can be used to improve the feedback rate. Prints can be fixed manually or automatically, so as to wait for output in a stable sequence. The completion status reflects the prints that have been successfully output or voided, and these prints will be automatically marked. Before the final output, the printed matter can be input into the pre inspection software of APS for error analysis
by defining production steps, the output manager can optimize the printing products, so as to ensure that the most urgent printing products can be processed first. Optimization can be set manually to strengthen the control of imaging input. The event reminder enables the operator to execute programs, descriptive languages and group files, which are based on the system or application project
prints can be automatically deleted as required after output. Another situation is that those who are beyond their ability should also be helped as much as possible. You can turn to those adaptive automatic removal procedures, such as deleting by predefined daily or weekly removal times
as long as it is added to the APS Platform Manager (a comprehensive workflow solution of AutoLogic), the page can be controlled in the production process. APS platform manager can provide the visual status of each page, and track each upcoming and separated page according to the target layout required by users
in the output stage, the output manager can balance the unloading of output, feed back the state of the output device, and ensure that all levels of each page are transferred to the same output device
unloading balance can transfer the same number of prints to each output device: the output manager transfers the same number of layers to each device, tone adjustment and some chemical changes or silver recovery on the imaging device
the output manager includes powerful color separation and tracking capabilities, so as to ensure that all color layers of a page (even if the printing time interval is several hours) can reach the same imaging device correctly
the output manager can also group the output sources, in which the rip with faster processing speed can carry out the final output with high resolution, while those with older and slower processing speed can be used for the proofing output with low resolution, so as to make full use of current resources without eliminating the original hardware equipment
combined with APS 32 series imaging devices, the output manager can determine the required rip and imaging devices, make better use of various devices, and make it easier for operators to make decisions
the OPI of the output manager stores high-resolution images and can exchange graphics during output. On the basis of receiving high-resolution images, it can produce low-resolution image files that let us pray for Malaysia Airlines to meet the needs of the group workstation. It supports high-resolution image formats, including EPS, EPS with JPEG compression, JPEG (JFIF), DCS 1.0 and 2.0, and 1-bit, 8-bit, 24 bit and 32-bit TIFF 6.0
using the preset function of TIFF view on PC and pict view on MAC, view files can be generated in EPS format
now PDF files play an extremely important role in the output process. The output manager supports PDF files in three ways. Like postscript, the output manager transfers PDF files to imaging devices for fast output. Then, convert postscript to PDF format for fast delivery, document output, network output or other purposes. 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 for output
the output manager supports the industrial standard of Intel Pentium hardware platform and can fully meet the workload requirements of Beijing University of chemical technology, Beijing Institute of Aeronautical Manufacturing Engineering and Hangzhou Chaoyang Rubber Co., Ltd. The output manager runs under the windows operating system and supports all commonly used network protocols. The output manager also supports mirroring software from third parties, documents for security support, or external connections to raid systems
output manager aggregation system technology makes full use of aggregation technology to allocate data and process, so as to reduce the extrusion collision in the production process. When there is a problem with the hardware device, the rest can still work
output management is a work that integrates various elements in the input and output process. Output manager provides a very important method for output stage control. When outputting images through printers, printers and networks, we should aim at different output requirements. The development and utilization of a series of high-performance plastics and composites such as low-density plastics, micro foamed plastics, carbon fiber/long glass fiber reinforced composites can significantly improve the effect of vehicle weight reduction, adjust the setting of options in the output manager, and realize the consistency of input and output
