To complete the color management conversion process, some creative design applications can be used to print jobs, or use color management server solutions to solve problems, such as ICI AutoFlow from Praxisoft Corp. (Virginia) and iQueue from GretagMacbeth Corp. (New York). And other solutions. Many of the same processing systems can solve problems related to image resolution. Although the image resolution often drops, it is that some software can improve the resolution of the image through image enhancement techniques. The Genuine Fractals and MrSID systems from Lizard Technologies (Seattle City) are independent solutions.
Although most of the above-mentioned products are currently unable to support the original data stored internally, some more comprehensive data systems can also be seen, such as the TEAMS system provided by Artesia Technologies, Inc. (Maryland), and Progress Information Technology Inc. (Pennsylvania) Launches Target 2000 System. Among the newly developed color conversion and management tools, some can actually manage color picture layers and channel information created using Phtotoshop. For example, you can turn off the image-oriented animated layers and open the animation layer for web-oriented images. In some cases it is also possible to use an image with a specific background and in the other case an image with a shadow. Some manual tools have these capabilities, such as the ImagePort for Quark that was introduced by ALAP (California).
InDesign software also has this feature.
The process-support server product for graphics and text content management systems has color, resolution, file type, and Photoshop layer processing capabilities that can be further configured in an automated workflow. Adobe's Altercast is an example.
The creative design and imposition processing of the graphic content of the cooperation issue has increasingly become a cooperative project between the printer and the customer. In a cooperative workflow, each job link must be subject to overall job requirements. This pre-test preparation can be either an independent job or an automated job, or it can be incorporated into a workflow. For companies using PDF workflows, a large number of manual and automated collaboration tools can help support the graphic content publishing process.
Apogee's Apogee create enables creative designers to convert Postscript or EPS files into prepress PDF files. In addition to fonts, images, and graphics, these files also reproduce content and effects such as spot colors, multi-tones, gradients, colored TIFFs, trapping, trimming, and bleeding.
Users can use the pdfinspektor of Callas Software (Berlin) or the PitShop tool of Enfocus (California) to complete the manual PDF preparation. Some server-based solutions can even be deployed in the workflow and play a role in the creative design phase. Enfocus's pitshop server and Instant PDF allow users to pre-determine production requirements, ensure file and channel changes during the entire period from creative design to media output, and solve a series of related issues. Adobe's Acrobat 5.0 adds several collaboration tools to support color and graphic content proofing, marking the job process.
If you want to use more powerful systems that not only increase collaboration efficiency, but even automate the collaborative process, SmartPath from SmartPath (North Carolina) may be able to meet your needs. For online collaboration, RealTimeImage (California) provides solutions that enable users to evaluate graphic content and colors (including tags) in a real-time operating environment.
Fujifilm International (Illinois)'s myfujifilm.com made its debut on the Internet during the Print 01 International Printing Exhibition in Chicago. This web-based electronic production tool provides printers and their customers with professional services in job and asset management, pre-preparation, file transfer, hard proofing, and soft proofing. Printers using Prolatus (Minnesota) server software can provide remote color proofing and image editing services to their customers. The software has nothing to do with the length and width, so long as it is connected to the Internet, it can transfer large files.
Products from DuPont, Creo, Itec, Kodak-Pauly Light, Heidelberg and others also support remote color proofing. At the Print 01 International Printing Exhibition in Chicago, Heidelberg and RealTimeIamge (Real Time Imaging Technology) announced a partnership. Integrate Heidelberg's color management and RIP technology with RealTimeImage's image streaming, online collaboration, and proofing technologies. Heidelberg integrated sales of RealTimeImage's online proofing technology with the HDProof brand.
The Networked Graphic Production system is Creo's most important technology exhibited at the Print 01 International Exhibition in Chicago. It can provide an integrated production environment from desktop creative production to final product output. Synapase Prepare currently used in this system can create PDF files for printing according to the printer's operating specifications. These automated technologies enable creative designers to print directly using QuarkXPress, create PDFs, and prepare pre-production documents.
Online collaboration Insit for Creo's Prinergy and Brisque workflows is an Internet collaboration tool with online support for live jobs, remote proofing, sample signing, and changing job requirements. Internet connectivity allows customers to move jobs directly from afar into the workflow; collaboration tools allow creative and technical staff to evaluate jobs at the same time. The online proofing and commenting tools help speed up the process of picking up and changing job requirements.
The Dialogue technology used in German Dalim's TwiST workflow enables online remote collaborative assessment and proofing of documents, allowing customers to view and sign graphic pages, check production parameters, and receive photometric measurement data from the display. Not long ago, Creo announced the launch of a new project organization system, SixDegrees. The system is able to track, organize and contact various project documents, contact addresses and e-mails. It can play its part in the most difficult cooperative production process and organically combine different factors.
What we are talking about now only involves graphic content creation and the surface issues of future support technology for publishing. Most of the graphic content creation and management solutions are very novel or are the replacement technology of existing manual control systems. However, the outlook is still promising.
PDF Strengths and Weaknesses The Printing Technology Foundation of the United States recently conducted a survey on the status of PDF applications among commercial printers and prepress service companies, and received a total of 83 valid responses. Of these, 47% of respondents were commercial printers. Some of the survey results are as follows:
※ Nearly 22% of the documents received are in PDF format. 54% is still in Quark format.
※ In most of the relevant reports, "Improve the speed of system operations" is listed as the biggest advantage of PDF. The second big advantage is "reducing cross-platform operations."
※But 88% of respondents said their clients could not make PDF files correctly. 64% of respondents believe that PDF files are more difficult to edit than native files.
