The Ticket defines an input channel, and describes exactly how all documents received will be processed and output by Apogee Prepress. NOTE: You can set up one or more input channels for the same ticket (Hot Folders, AppleTalk channels, JDF channels, etc.), and output consistently to awide range of imagesetters, platesetters, and proofers. 2. Input document(s) You input your documents to the predefined input channel. Typically, these documents are PostScript, PDF, EPS, MIME, TIFF or JDF format files. You either copy these files to a Hot Folder input channel, or print them toa predefined printer queue (AppleTalk, Named Pipe, etc.). If you are working inthe Layout Editor, you will probably want to input images: PNG, JPG, BMP, PSD and Al.1Wacowera Arocee Pacress | 39) Apogee Prepress automatically processes any input document or images according to the parameters specified in the Ticket. The result of this processing is a job. Check job results You can check your job results either onscreen, or by outputting them to a Proofer. Approve job for output Ifthe job results are satisfactory, you can approve them for output to an output device. . “Apogee Prepress 11 Relevance Guide40 Basic Wonnow . ‘Apogee Prepress 11 Relerence GuiceBasic Concepts ‘Apogee Prepress introduces a variety of new product-specific terms and concepts.

What Are Job Tickets? . ‘Apogee Prepress 11 Relerence Guice A Job Ticket is a file you create using the Job Ticket Editor. A Job Ticket defines how the pages of a single job are to be assembled, the processing features to be used (imposition, separation, trapping, overprinting, rasterization, etc.), and the output device to which the rendered job will be sent. A Job Ticket is always associated with one or more unique input channels (Hot Folders, AppleTalk Channels, etc.). When a user sends a document to one of these input channels, the Apogee Prepress System attaches the corresponding Job Ticket toit. The input document and the Job Ticket are combined to become a single Job. When should you use Job Tickets? You should use Job Tickets in workflows that are subject to lots of changes, or when you want to process jobs that are made up of several different documents. These documents can be combined ina single job by dragging the required pages from the Page Store to your Run List. You need to create and manually submit a new Job Ticket for every new job. Ifyou print a weekly magazine, it is recommended that you use standard Job Tickets. This is because you will probably have to create an imposition for different document types (advertisements, articles, etc.). The page count and content will also probably vary from week to week.2 basi Concerts | AB What Are Hot Tickets? You create Hot Tickets using the Hot Ticket Editor. A Hot Ticket defines how multiple jobs are to be assembled and processed. Unlike a Job Ticket, which can create only a single job, a Hot Ticket can create multiple jobs on demand. When you input a document to a Hot Ticket input channel, the Hot Ticket dupli- cates its ticket, then creates a job by filling in the pages from the input document, and automatically submitting it to the Apogee Prepress System. A job created from a Hot Ticket does not therefore require any manual Run List editing AHot Ticket always remains active, and automatically processes any documents that are input via the associated input channel. Each of these documents becomes a new job, containing the input document plus a Job Ticket based on the Hot Ticket settings. However, the original Hot Ticket itself does not become part of the job, and remains unchanged. When should you use Hot Tickets? Hot Tickets automate the job creation process, creating multiple jobs on demand.

These components can be configured to define exactly how jobs are to be input, processed, and output, AProduction Plan consists of at least one Main processing flow, but you can include as many additional flows as you require. Each flow leads to a unique output device. To build your Production Plan, you simply drag the components you require to the Production Plan pane, and connect them to other components. The order and the types of connections are governed by specific rules.

What Are Task Processors? What Are Task Processor Settings? What Are Task Processor Parameter Sets? . ‘Apogee Prepress 11 Relerence Guice Task Processors are software components that perform one or more tasks (speci- fied by the Ticket), such as input via Hot Folder, Normalization, Preflight, Trapping, Rendering, etc. A sequence of Task Processors can be linked together to form a Production Plan. Se in Hormize Fuse Dye POFRender Task Processors are divided into four categories: Input Task Processors m= Processing Task Processors Output Task Processors Print Task Processors Each Task Processor has a default group of settings, which determine how itwill, handle incoming data. When you add a Task Processor to your Production Plan, you can modify these settings for this particular ticket. You can also create and save your own customized versions of these settings files, in which you can modify how the Task Processor will operate. These customized settings are referred to as Parameter Sets. When you add a Task Processor to a Production Plan, you can select any Parameter Sets which may be available. Some Task Processors are multi-functional and require a large number of settings. For practical reasons, these settings are grouped according to their functionality. For example, The Render Task Processor comprises Trapping, Separation, Processing and Screening, each of these functions having their respective settings. Each Task Processor is installed with initial settings which are automatically assigned by Apogee Prepress, and cannot be changed or deleted. However, you can define additional groups of settings based on the initial settings, and save them under different names. These are referred to as Parameter Sets.2basie concerts | aT What Is a Task Processor Configuration? You can create as many Parameter Sets as you need, and manage them from the System Overview window. To do this, you select a Task Processor, and then click the Settings icon: ) Parameter sets can also be created and managed directly from the Ticket Editor. When you first access a Task Processor’s settings, you will see only the factory- default “initial settings”. You should define additional Parameter Sets based on the initial settings, and set one of them as “default”. In future, whenever you add this Task Processor to a Production Plan, it will always automatically select the default Parameter Set that you specified.

Once you have built up a valid Production Plan, you can insert Actions between each step in the Plan. When one of these points is reached during job processing, an event is triggered. For example, the job results may be archived, or the flow may be temporarily halted until specific criteria have been met. rs “o-2basie concerns | 4B What Are Resources? Resources are collections of objects (such as fonts, preflight profiles, or calibra- tion curves) that are required by selected devices or Task Processors.

AProofis a set of job results produced before the final results are output toa platesetter or imagesetter. This allows you to verify and correct different aspects of a job before submitting it to press. In Apogee Prepress, we can distinguish several different types of proofs, each with their own purpose: = Page Proof: A Page Proof allows you to check the content and color reproduc- tion of specific pages (color proofs should closely match the expected press print output). In many cases, you may not want to proof all pages, and you may not need an imposition scheme. Instead, you may simply want to pack as many pages onto a flat as possible. = Imposition Proof: An Imposition Proof allows you to check that the chosen imposition scheme correctly produces the required result after folding and cutting. This is most commonly used to check a new imposition scheme. = Production Proof: A Production Proof allows you to check job content and page order. This gives you a good idea of how the final result will look, but may use a different imposition scheme than the final result There are three ways of viewing any type of proof: = Hard Proof: This method outputs the proof to a physical proofing device, such as a Sherpa proofer. NOTE: Hard Proofs can also be viewed as Soft Proofs. = Soft Proof: This method does not physically output the proof to a printer. Instead, the job data is displayed on-screen. There are two types of Soft Proof: (PDE Proof: A PDF Proof allows you to check PDF job results (flats or pages) on-screen, before the job is rendered. No physical output results are generated. One or more PDF Proofs can be included in your Produc- tion Plan. This allows you to view the intermediate job data at different points in the flow. © Digital Film Proof A Digital Film Proof allows you to check the raster job results (flats or pages) on-screen, after the job has been rendered. No physical output results are generated. You can view 8-bit contone data, . “Apogee Prepress 11 Relevance Guide52 WiarsaProor? and zoom in to view the more detailed 1-bit high resolution data (each raster point is represented by a single display pixel). m= Color-Managed Display Proof: This method displays the job data on-screen in Raster Preview. However, in this case you have a preview of the rendered result using color management to convert the press color space to the monitor color space based on ICC profiles. With a calibrated monitor environment and correctly configured monitor profile, contraet-proofing quality should be achieved. You activate the color-managed preview by pressing the color managed preview button in the toolbar of the preview pane, or selecting its View-menut equivalent. By default the color managed preview mode is idle. This is a licensed feature. . ‘Apogee Prepress 11 Relerence Guice2 bask Concerns 5B What is Versioning? A Simple Versioning Example The Versioning feature allows you to create jobs which contain several different versions, typically for some or all of the text (for example, using different languages or prices), and to choose the optimal set of plates to be made. If, for example, you want to publish a brochure in six different languages, you can include the Versioning Task Processor in your Production Plan, and then print several different language versions of the brochure using a single job. The basic Production Plan is straightforward, using a Versioning Task Processor instead of a Run List Task Processor, allowing you to optimize the usage of plates to produce the versions. Versioning can also be used in a Production Plan which contains a Main flow and a Digital Film Proof flow. This set-up is meant to generate accurate proofs of the different plate versions before assembly and output. This ensures optimal usage of resources and media. NOTE: Versioning is an evolution of the Run List. Most of the features and behavior of the Run List are present in Versioning. ‘Suppose you want to print an 8-page brochure in English, French and Dutch. Since only the text is different, the differences between the three versions are in the K plate. The English version (V1)is the reference version, from which the CMY plates are to be generated (and of course the K plate). From the French (V2) and Dutch (V3) versions, only the K plate is imaged and later mounted on. the press instead of the English K plate. Therefore, the printer needs to print the CMY plates only once, and then, combine them (during printing) with the 3 different K plates: = CMY:(common) + K:version1 (English) = CMY:(common) + K:version2 (French) = CMY:(common) + K:version3 (Dutch) So, the run list has two layers: = The first layer holds pages containing the background graphics. This layer provides the common graphics for all three language versions, = The second layer contains the three version-specific variations of the “black- text” (English, French and Dutch). . “Apogee Prepress 11 Relevance Guide54 Whar is Versione? Multiple Versions on a Press Sheet . ‘Apogee Prepress 11 Relerence Guice To fill the press sheets of very large presses, you can place multiple instances of the same fold sheet or different fold sheets on the same press sheet. For versioning jobs, you can use this feature to put different product versions (e.g. VI. for French and V2 for Dutch) on a single press sheet and reduce the number of required plates even further. In this case, the system will generate corresponding. press sheet versions (SV1, SV2, etc.). You control the sheet versions in the Version Setup dialog box which is accessed from the Plates tab of the Versioning task processor in the production plan. See “Version Setup Dialog Box” on page 763.2 basi Concerns | 55 What are Multi-Part and Multi-Product Jobs? Each Apogee Prepress job has at least one print product. A product may consist of one part or multiple parts which are printed as a single job. In these cases we distinguish two types of jobs: = Single-part jobs: A single-part job uses the same settings for the entire job: It has a single job name, single order number, single production plan with job- global parameter values, single unstructured run list, single version per sheet, and the same number of pages per version. = Multi-part jobs: A multi-part job is more complex and typically comprises a number of sections (cover, editorial, sports section, ete.) each with different properties (paper type, color or B&W, binding style, number of colors, ete.). Additionally, different sheets may be printed on different presses, and so on. A single Apogee Prepress job can also combine several print products with the intention of optimizing printing operations. For example, you may want to combine the covers and body parts of multiple products and print them together on a specific press. These jobs are referred to as multi-product jobs. A multi- product job is either created from scratch to combine several products in one job or can be the result of merging existing jobs into a single multi-product merged job. NOTE: More than one product is not allowed for WebApproval jobs. Refer to “Using the Products Tab” on page 284 and “Merging Jobs” on page 209 for more information. What is a WebApproval Job?

You can switch between these three windows using the Navigation Bar, which is located at the bottom of each window. The Jobs Window gives you a complete high-level overview of your workflow. In a single window, you can see the complete list and status of jobs in the system and the output devices that are available. You can track the progress and activity of jobs, and view information about specific processing parameters. Powerful viewing features let you preview rasterized jobs. This allows you to check trapped, imposed, and screened bitmaps before imaging a proof, film, or plate. A Message Board keeps all users up to date about jobs that require attention.
