PPML2.1を用いたRIP処理高速化とJDF⁄JMF活用による最適ワークフローの実現

抄録

The development of VDP (Variable Data Printing) technologies using digital printers is progressing rapidly these days. Further, customer needs with respect to the style of printing production are becoming complicated. In this report, we introduce our own production workflow, which is one of the most complicated variable printing methods. We have focused on the printing process and achieved an optimized workflow. In this flow, we need to print a huge volume of variable data within a short delivery period. One of this workflow's features is the use of the PPML format, which can process variable data efficiently in order to accelerate RIP processing. In addition, we have realized an automated workflow by using the JDF⁄JMF technology. As a result, the production schedule and the submission of JOBs to printers are controlled by our system without manual operations and mistakes. This topic is attractive for us. And we succeed this challenge via promotion of the digital printing technology.
