Entering 2002, the number of optional digital file transfer and job submission tools for the printing industry in the U.S. has increased significantly, and its capabilities have also been greatly enhanced.
Some mature standards, such as File Transfer Protocol (FTP) and Group Logic's MassTransit protocols, have become more popular, and many new tools have emerged with new capabilities.
Just as GATF forecasted last year, trends such as the integration of workflows, the integration of file transfer and job submission capabilities in e-commerce, and the application of online workflows have begun to appear this year. Companies such as Creo Serb Angel, MyFujiFilm.com, and Printable have pioneered print e-commerce by developing powerful software that not only enables seamless job submission but also has many additional features such as resource management and integration. Prepress preflight, multi-style file output, and file warehouse archiving.
Last year we saw the industry launches CIP4 and JDF (Job Definition Format). These new technology promises to be able to organically combine the correlation between metadata and data to provide truly powerful job tickets and become the entire job submission. Part of the process. Although JDF has made rapid progress in the past year, it has not been widely used in the mainstream of this field so far. It is expected that this situation will change in 2002. Among the CIP4 members, more than 60 companies have developed products that meet the CIP4 standard. At the Seybold conference, HP demonstrated a new technology, the remote proofing initial product, which combines the JDF and PDF-X/3 file formats to create a new remote proofing file format called RPF.
The use of e-mail to continue to use e-mail during job submission has become an issue that has not been properly resolved in the industry. Since most companies’ email systems can stick large attachments and many companies have access to broadband networks, the success rate of using e-mail is much higher than ever before. People choose email delivery operations for their own reasons. For example, almost everyone now has their own e-mail address, and FTP or other tools cannot be used by everyone. With e-mail, you don't have to bother to remember passwords and navigate the file system, and you don't have to use TCP/IP addresses. Everyone knows how to send and receive e-mails.
However, emails with large attachments take a long time to be transmitted, and sometimes they are even unsuccessful. There is rarely one way to identify whether an attachment has been received, and the email is not secure enough. In a short period of time, these problems do not seem to be solved perfectly. Therefore, people expect that other methods of file transfer and job submission will continue to flourish for a while. Fortunately, the adoption rate of these methods is gradually increasing.
File Transfer Protocol (FTP)
How many people in the printing industry are using FTP to send and submit their jobs? There is no specific statistical data, but it is certain that more and more printers are using FTP, prepress companies and advertising companies. A considerable number of people are also satisfied with the performance of FTP.
The reason for this trend is that the new FTP software is easy to use, and that FTP can be bundled with an operating system (such as Windows 2000), and there are few internal restrictions on FTP through the firewall. The ease of use of FTP software, and sharing software such as Transmit on Mac (developed by Panic Software) and Cute FTP on PCs (more than 10 million downloads) make FTP ubiquitous in the field of file transfer.
But in the process of encoding and saving binary files, FTP also has its own drawbacks. When sending a folder from a Mac, you need to use Stuffit or other archiving or compression software, and you may also face troubles such as file format and resource branching when you cross from one platform to another. Another barrier to FTP is that although the FTP client software is easy to use and easy to purchase, the FTP server still has great difficulty in installation, configuration, support, and management.
Appleshare IP and Mac OSX
The coolest new development in job submission is using Appleshare on an IP network. In the past, we always hoped that the complicated and difficult work done by the Mac will now become a breeze. Users using a Mac can enter an IP address according to their own choices, making it easy to connect to a server at a remote site.
Using Appleshare servers in the past few years can only achieve very few links, but the introduction of Mac OSX provides Appleshare with an opportunity to make it a popular workflow. Using Appleshare over IP has slightly reduced performance, but in most cases, this workflow only limits the Mac. Unfortunately, Appleshare does not integrate seamlessly with processes and job tickets. You can only keep files in one folder. However, the ease of use makes it widely popular, and with the continued popularity of Mac OSX, it is believed that more people will use this method during the job submission process.
