Prepress file self-check solution

Most of the previous printing buyers submitted films and proofs to the printing plant for printing, and the printing plant did not need to be responsible for any errors in pre-press production. But most of today's print buyers submit electronic manuscripts, so many printing houses have added pre-press departments and added a lot of equipment, such as computers, CTP and process systems. However, due to the lack of experience and talents, and the different formats of electronic manuscripts submitted by customers, too many software versions, uneven drafting standards, and different methods, many problems often occur, such as low image resolution and missing OPI links. Links, wrong color space (RGB, CIE image ...), total ink exceeded, lines too thin, inappropriate overprint, missing fonts, etc ... These responsibilities are often borne by the printing house, and need to be reprinted or fined. Not only the loss of money and time, the most important thing is the damage to the company's reputation. And these problems appear again and again, and if you are not careful, you will repeat the same mistakes.

Although there are some file pre-check systems (Preflight) on the market that can help you check files in advance, if a problem is found, a report will be presented, and you can return the file to the client for modification based on the report. But in many cases, the client is only a middleman. His client may be a foreign publishing house or other company, and these companies may also send out manuscripts to independent designers for production. In this case, the manuscript has to go through multiple channels and it takes a lot of time to modify it back.

Sometimes there are no problems in the pre-check report, but there are still problems when outputting the film or zinc plate. It may be that the RIP version does not cooperate, or the embedded font may be damaged. Of course, it can be discovered in time, but only the cost of zinc plate or film is lost. If it is not discovered in time, it will be discovered after printing, then it will be a huge loss.

Workflow Integrator in Singapore recently launched a solution called proSkipper prepress automatic detection and modification. ProSkipper's unique "predictable printing effect" (P2) file optimization technology ensures faster and error-free output.

Basically, proSkipper is just like a file preflight system (Preflight). Just send the file to the system and the system will automatically perform preflight processing. But proSkipper has several more programs than other pre-check systems. It will go through five steps to process files-pre-check, optimize, modify, export and transfer.

1. Preflight (Preflight) -JDF-based preflight engine, the system will generate a low-resolution PDF report after detection. When this report is opened with PDF Reader, the file's non-standard problems will be in the bookmark bar. The red text is displayed, while the right side displays the page in low resolution. When you click the red letter of each question, the blue page will cover the non-compliant position on the right page for easy viewing.

2. Optimization-The system automatically analyzes and optimizes the redundant and cumbersome command statements of the PS or PDF files generated by some application software (such as PageMaker, QuarkXpress, Illustrator ...), automatically merges the layers of the PSD file and reduces the excessive height Image resolution, etc.

3. Correction (Correction)-You can set some correction parameters according to your requirements. The system will automatically modify the substandard places according to these parameters, for example: which ICC profile to convert to CMYK when encountering RGB images If the thin line is less than the value, the system will automatically thicken it to the value you define. network.

4. Output-You can provide error-free electronic files as soon as possible according to clear and detailed requirements from publishers and printing houses. proSkipper can output all standard file formats. For example? PostScript level 1/2/3 for synthesis or color separation, DCS1 / DCS2, and PDF 1.2 / 1.3 / 1.4 / 1.5, PDF / X -1a, PDF / X -3 (including 2001 and 2003), PDF / X -Plus, Pass4Press, unique PDF / P2 *, TIFF -IT -P1, etc. Whether these electronic files are exported to the old version of PostScript Level I raster processor (RIP) or the latest version of PDF files, proSkipper will have a corresponding tool set to identify different versions of files in different periods to protect past investments. The proSkipper check and check files are processed according to the type of raster processor (RIP), so if the files pass the proSkipper check and test, it will be able to output error-free zinc plates or films.

5. Transmission (Transmission)-When the output process is completed, the transmission work begins, it is ready to transfer the file to the next working stage? Automatic compression, rename, local archive, FTP upload to a remote site, and even transfer to another Production platform. The PDF file output by proSkipper ensures that it can be transferred to any application and system (even platforms from different manufacturers).

The server-based proSkipper system is set up on the network, just like a printer, allowing MAC or PC clients to print simply, just like printing to a general desktop printer, proSkipper can be controlled using a standard print window Or intercept the data in the production workflow.

proSkipper is an open and upgradeable system, you can choose to use Mac OSX, Linux or Windows platform. proSkipper consists of a set of pre-defined tools. Each tool performs its own unique function on the incoming file and transfers it to the next production stage. Production managers can not only define the workflow of those tools through editing mode, but also those settings can be changed on the desktop system by authorized operators.

proSkipper also allows you to manage your production process according to the method you want. It can process pre-press electronic files for each printing factory more easily, more efficiently and without worries.

Note: PDF / P2 (Print-Predictable predictable printing effect) is a unique format of German Dalim company, which is wrapped in PDF Header on files that have been converted into Contone & Linework. The advantage of this format is that the file has been converted, and it fully meets the conditions of what you can see (What you see is what you get), even if you use the oldest PS Level I or the latest PS RIP, there will be no problems.
