Proofing through the Internet sounded unbelievable a few years ago, but it is no longer so far away.
In the past year, the number of .com companies in the industry has decreased a lot, but the convenience of the Internet for humanity is not unquestionable. It has shortened the distance between people. It enables businesses to complete business faster. .
According to statistics from Ipex, the organizer of the Ipex exhibition, the “.com†company that signed up for the exhibition this year was much less than it appeared in the Drupa exhibition two years ago, when the internet company was almost the hottest item. However, compared with the 98th Ipex exhibition, the impact of internet companies at this exhibition still has a certain influence.
Take Vio, for example, the company appeared in the last Ipex exhibition as a joint venture between British Telecom BT and Scitex. As more and more customers began to pursue quality of service, not just hardware, the company expanded its traditional printing technology business.
Last year, Vio was on the verge of collapse, but it attracted new funding with the support of a new business model. Here we do not discuss the products produced by Vio, but mainly introduce the new business model they adopted.
At present, the company is using the Internet to carry out file transfer services, which is more reliable than BT's. The problem facing Vio is that it needs to expand its business scope from publishing to commercial printing. This is a certain degree of difficulty. For publishers, in order to prolong the deadline for publication, it is required to be able to produce films as late as possible. Therefore, the Internet can be used to transfer files; however, for commercial printing companies, hardcopy proofing, whether made digitally or traditionally Still, it is still the most important process.
As far as commercial printing is concerned, the issue of time is not the only pressure. In addition, when preparing a job, all aspects of the production must be pre-ordered, such as what kind of printing materials are used, what kind of images and printing techniques, etc. Therefore, if the job has not yet been printed, the person in charge will need a hard copy proof. High-speed digital file transfer has very little change to this workflow. In addition to the final correction of text files, text files are very small and can be delivered via email or ISDN.
Two developments have helped this. First of all, the rapid development of on-line proofing or soft proofing technology has always begun to widely accept the use of this technology in the printing industry, which has not generally accepted non-network point digital proofs.
Second, the pressure of rapid participation in the market, and the ability to collaborate with distant companies (including international ones) have made the use of couriers and the Cromalin method more and more impractical for proofing. Ipex will exhibit soft proofing products from various companies. RealTimeImage is the first company to successfully process image files over the Internet, and it still maintains its leading position in this area, and has begun to handle applications outside of publications.
Another exhibiting company is Prolatus. At the Print01 trade show in Chicago last September, the company exhibited a proofing application and used the same technology with another company's remote finishing product.
The proofing solution connects a digital pen with a hard copy proof. When customers draw circles and scribble comments on hard copy proofs, the changes are displayed on the proof screen version.
Each relevant person in the production process continues to add their ideas, the software will record the requirements, if necessary, these amendments will be followed. On the printer's side, proofs that have already been marked can either be checked on the screen and the original document can be corrected, or another copy can be produced based on the instructions.
A soft proofing application developed by Harlequin has also added video conferencing capabilities to the system. Through this function, all relevant personnel can view the calibrated display to view the files and make corrections.
If one of these participants has a high-resolution file and Photoshop, the job can be modified locally. If there are no such conditions or if the parts that need to be modified are of a large scale, they can be marked out and then off the assembly line, and then the coordination time can be discussed.
Soft proofing is also part of Heidelberg's Prinect concept and is part of Creo's Synapse collection of online publishing concepts.
Creo has proven that Synopse has used Synapse to bring together the widest variety of application software toolkits as the names of various applications that customers use, such as PDF preflight, soft proofing, and collective work applications.
Once the job is accepted by the prepress production workflow, the job becomes part of the Creo Prinergy application. At the same time, the Printcafe software management information system application software package is also running in parallel to start providing job specification and layout management tools, and finally produce invoices and perform transmission management.
An important development of the Ipex exhibition is the introduction of a connection between the production area and the management information field. This will likely evolve into a new networked new printing company.
However, using different application software alone is not enough. At least three issues must be reconsidered: It is very important that the company's operating methods, relationships with suppliers, and relationships with customers. And this is what few companies can do.
