Color management and remote proofing system for remote printing

In view of the current trends in the world and digital proofing companies that have been used, digital proofing technology is already quite mature. Basically, this technology is based on digital networks. With regard to the current practice situation, this trend is the foreseeable future. .

First, the development of long-distance printing technology

(a) One input Many out-put application

With the development of cross-platform and cross-media file formats such as XML, PDF, etc., the use of communication processes and automatic production are greatly facilitated. Combining with the concept of Database, the single input information file (One input) and the multiple output (Many output) are applied. In addition to the output of the printed matter, other web pages and CD electronic media can use these files.

(II) Internet Application and Color Management Technology

With the rapid and convenient development of network transmission and file compression technologies, and the application of color management technology, network-enhanced printing, which is currently only used as a small file, will gradually become remotely proofed and remotely distributed.

(3) The future printing industry will have the opportunity to become the integrator of the multimedia digital world, and use the professional advantages of the printing industry to transform from the original Prepress to Premedia.

(4) The printing industry in the future will be transformed into an information carrier service provider, a media solution provider, and a multimedia digital world integrator (integrated digital content data → digital content industry).

(5) The integration of information from printing to information includes the integration of information applications and digital graphics. The long-term development trends are like document management, database applications, security mechanisms, electronic invoices, digital asset management, and digital content publishing.

There are several points in the development of long-distance printing technology. The key technologies are the color management technology, PDF flow, Hybrid dot and color standardization concepts. These key points will be the factors that need special attention when developing distant printing.

Second, ICC Profile color management system

(1) In order to solve the problem of incompatibility between manufacturers of various color management systems, several large computers and peripheral equipment makers established the ICC-International Color Consortium International Color Consortium in 1993 and established a standard format for color profile descriptions. ICC Standard Profile.
