Nowadays,
the application of digital printing technology by traditional printing
companies has risen to the strategic decision goal. This is not only the demand
for the landing of high-end printing technology, but also the hope for the
development of traditional China printing
companies.
Objectively
speaking, the introduction of digital printing also puts forward new
requirements for the digital workflow, which are mainly reflected in: color
management, automatic imposition, automatic splitting of imposition files,
support for JDF/JMF standards, and integration of ERP. Specific details As
follows:
1.
Color management: After adopting digital printing, the printing cost is
relatively high, and the color controllability requirements are relatively
improved. This requires the digital workflow of traditional printing companies
to have unified color management functions based on the document specification
inspection. Perform refined color management for different papers and different
digital printing presses.
2.
Automatic imposition: most of the digital prints are small in quantity and
various in variety. If the traditional imposition method is still used, it will
inevitably affect the production efficiency. Therefore, the digital workflow
should have the automatic imposition function, so that only batch files are set
in the digital workflow Processing method, it will automatically assemble the
batch files into imposition files that can be recognized by the digital printing
machine according to the requirements.
3.
Automatic splitting of imposition files: For traditional printed matter,
digital printing machines are sometimes used for proofing or replenishment, and
the original imposition files are not suitable for printing on digital printing
machines. At this time, it is necessary to remake impositions that conform to
the digital printing machine. document. Therefore, the digital workflow should
have the function of splitting the imposition files generated by the original
digital workflow into imposition files that can be recognized by the digital
printing machine.
4.
Support JDF/JMF standards: At present, most digital printing presses support
JDF/JMF standards. In order to automate the production process, the digital
workflow should also support the open JDF/JMF standards so that the processed
files can be sent directly to the digital Print on the printing press.
5.
Integrate ERP: In order to improve the production efficiency of digital
printing and monitor the production status of products more intuitively, the
digital workflow should be well integrated with the ERP system. Otherwise, when
the documents enter the digital workflow, the ERP system cannot monitor the
documents in real time. Processing progress will affect production scheduling.
At present, most ERP systems on the market cannot realize real-time
communication with digital workflows, which requires unified standards from
relevant suppliers.
