NetScreen achieves perfect unity of printing technology

Printing companies must adapt to efficient development. Only by formulating new business strategies can they adapt to the market. The solution is to unify the management departments and production departments of the business and crafts to realize the automation of printing. However, in the current situation where it is impossible to predict the addition of new customer bases, customers' satisfaction can only be improved while securing old customers. And, in order to avoid falling into the whirlpool of low-price competition, we must provide customers with value-added services.

Therefore, the screen brings you a new concept product that is able to achieve the perfect unity of the entire printing process - "Wisdom World."

The core of “Wisdom World” is the “Wisdom 3” digital workflow. It can receive JDF files that can be exported from the MIS system and can be used as electronic work orders, and can automatically complete job processing and pass accurate job ticket information. ,Reduce redundant links in the production process and prevent human error.

Information sharing between the MIS system and the "Wisdom 3" digital workflow can also be achieved through software. MIS systems (Management Information System) refers to business information management system, we can make the information initially obtained into a job file, and the production, work processes, cost accounting, profit and other management systems to match. That is to say, the papers to be used can be arranged at the same time when the orders are received, and the MIS system can also send electronic worksheets and JDF files to the production departments such as "Huizhi 3", printing, and postpress processing, and the production department can be large according to the JDF documents. Increases the efficiency of inputting jobs and setting data. Information on the entire production process can also be obtained from the production department in a timely manner, and any department can know the progress of processing documents. Even if it is necessary to make changes on the documents, the sales department can also keep abreast of the computer at hand, and timely feedback to the user the latest delivery time and price changes.

This has a close relationship with improving customer satisfaction. At the same time, it can also obtain cost accounting information of various departments from this production information in a timely manner. Through this kind of profit management, the situation of each department can be known immediately.

Ritecontrol software is used to complete the work of the production scheduling department. In prepress, it can receive JDF and PDF files, combine them, and then add the imposition information and send it to the “Huizhi 3” digital workflow. For printing and post-processing, the printing department can transmit JDF files through the MIS system. Then transfer the PPF file made in Ritecontrol software. JDF files and PPF files are automatically combined to achieve automatic pre-adjustment of the press. In the post-processing, Ritecontrol software can be used to create settings for folders, knives, and other equipment. The information is sent via the PPF file, and the initial data of the post-processing equipment can be set automatically. If the company is using financial software and work schedule management software, the MIS system cannot be used immediately. Ritecontrol software can also be used as usual. Adding IDs to the job processing produces JDF files so that PDF files can be received from the beginning of the production, and then It is combined with JDF and sent to the Huizhi 3 digital workflow after adding imposition information.

In addition, companies sometimes receive PDF files that do not meet the printing conditions. Each time they need to be reviewed, modified, and then processed, Riteportal is required. This is a preflighting software for PDF files. Dedicated print drivers that meet the printing conditions can be delivered to the relevant production company. Once the production company has set up to print the PDF file, it can be pre-screened. Then start recording PDF files, and then automatically send information to the printing company. If an abnormality occurs, it is displayed in the form of a record report, and can be modified. It is also possible to record file information such as file name, page number, number of copies, and delivery date on the PDF file.

"Wisdom World" can also provide a variety of color management solutions, due to the increasing popularity of digital cameras in recent years, more and more customers directly provide RGB files. However, the format conversion is very complicated, and it is very different from the traditional scanning, but it does not receive the cost of the format conversion. In response to this situation, screens specifically recommend an RGB digital workflow that is equipped with the "Huizhi 3" digital workflow.

It uses high-performance color conversion technology to convert RGB to CMYK's digital workflow before final RIP. The CMYK no longer performs zooming and color correction processing can also get very good printing effect, but still need to carry out color correction and modification for different manuscripts, if you want to reduce the work of color correction, the screen is prepared for Ritefinisher software It is a good choice.

Ritefinisher software is equipped with color conversion technology like "Huinji 3" digital workflow, and it can simulate digital color transfer software for printing colors. Since it is a plug-in software of Acrobat, it can be easily provided to photographers and designers. For use with the customer, before the final confirmation, the processing instructions of the final result are input into the original PDF based on the confirmed printed simulation colors. The printer then performs CMYK conversion based on the received RGB PDF with processing instructions. Therefore, the frequency of errors can be greatly reduced, and at the same time, the original manpower for color conversion is also eliminated.

Using the screen's “Wisdom World” solution, printing companies can master the fullest control of highly automated, streamlined and reasonable printing orders and production processes, while real integration can be implemented at every stage of production. Smarter cost accounting and management solutions.
