Description
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of digital printing, and particularly relates to an automatic production method of a digital printed matter based on PMF description.
Background
The domestic digital printing software is mainly based on the Beida Fangzhen printed Jie digital printing system and the Jiamengyouyou printed digital printing system which is popular in Jiamengyou Rui. For automatic production, all of them adopt a scheme of connecting processing nodes, and automatically transmitting data to the next processing node for processing after the previous node finishes processing. Each node has a respective xml or jdf description file to specify how the processing node processes incoming page data. The target of this process is the printing device, but once the device is replaced, the parameters of each previous processing node may be affected. And the settings of the apparatus and the printing parameters are reset. The product style and automatic production are only limited in the current environment, and when the equipment is changed, the whole automatic production flow needs to be reorganized. And such inline automatic streaming has limited content processing capabilities for documents, and adjustments that encounter complex content often cannot be handled or need to be paused at a node, by manual intervention.
In the present various printing and automatic printing processes, a processing procedure is mainly used to describe how a group of pages is processed. This type of description requires the involvement of an existing printing device to complete the description. And the printing parameters of each specific printer are used as templates to present the printed matter. The printing parameters of different types of printing equipment are different. This presents difficulties in ensuring consistent and automated printing of printed products on different devices. When the printing apparatus is changed, the entire automatic description cannot be established.

color: a standard for a target print color of the print is specified.
Further, in the foregoing technical solution, the step S13 of the special page style attribute includes:
page type: besides the placeholders, the special pages can be set as blank pages which represent an actual page, and after the blank pages are set, one more page can be printed; the preprinted page is also an actual page, but is not the page to be printed at this time, but the printed page, and can be inserted and matched with the position;
position: the position of the special page in the whole printed product is described as the page number, and the special page can be described in different modes such as forward order or reverse order.
Furthermore, in the above technical solution, the default page style and the special page style of the printed matter are designed to be variable, and formatting information can be added.
Further, in the above technical solution, the format information of the variable design includes: variable pictures, variable bar codes, variable words, system functions, dates, counts, time, information of a printing user, information of a printing document, information of a printer, page number of a current page, total number of pages, and record number; the zoom mode, the transparency and the fusion mode of the picture can be set for the picture.

Further, in the above technical solution, the step S3 further includes a document preprocessing step, after the printer uploads the document to be printed, the print server generates a standard PDF single page available for printing from the uploaded document, and generates a page sequence list from the single page according to the requirements described in the steps S11 and S12, and when the actual page is not in accordance with the direction of the model prestored in the print server, the printer can select automatic clockwise or counterclockwise rotation; where the dimensions are not uniform, scaling may be defined to suit the finished product size.
Furthermore, in the above technical solution, the system further comprises a homepage design template, which is mainly based on variable design content and can be divided into left and right pages; the homepage design template is an independent template, and can be set to add the specification template to the default page, or can be set to add or not add on the special page to distinguish the special page from the default page.
The invention realizes that a complete printed matter model can be formed even without actual pages and printing equipment. The description of the model instructs on the one hand how the page is organized and on the other hand how the printer produces the page. With such a model description, any page can produce a printed matter consistent with the model description on any printing device, and print setting can be realized independently of the printing device, and page printing can be completed on any printing device.

Detailed Description
The invention is described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
As shown in fig. 1, a PMF-based print server is deployed inside an enterprise, and forms a network with printers and office computers. Inside the print server, a PMF description of the formatted document is then created according to the enterprise requirements.
If the product model is a saddle-stitched brochure, the imposition module will select the JDF F4-2 imposition mode. The binding edge set in the product model will determine the conversion of the imposition mode.
According to the paper size, the finished product size of the page, the makeup mode and the conversion, the makeup module can calculate the final large-version layout.
The size of the paper is taken as the size of a large-format layout, the position, the orientation and the logical page number of the page relative to the whole layout are determined by the layout mode and the conversion, and the whole layout is placed in the middle on the paper.
After the large edition format is calculated, the final position and the actual page number are calculated by the makeup core.
In the large edition format, the position information is described layer by layer relative to the parent-level element, for example, the position description of the page is relative to the imposition, and the position description of the imposition is relative to the paper. Therefore, the layer relationship needs to be eliminated, and the expansion is performed to obtain the position of each page relative to the final layout.
The combination of the saddle-stitched signatures is to fold and unfold the last of the signatures to nest other signatures. After all the signatures are nested, counting from the first page to the last page, and counting from the front half page of the signatures, then counting all the pages nested in the middle and counting the back half page of the signatures according to the sequence of inside and outside from the perspective of the signatures.
In a simple case, one imposition corresponds to one signature, the page with the logical page number less than or equal to the maximum logical page number/2 in the imposition corresponds to the first half of the signature, and the page with the logical page number greater than the maximum logical page number/2 corresponds to the second half of the signature, so that the actual page number of each page can be counted in a simulated actual signature combination mode.
The binding method using saddle stitching requires calculation of crawling. Calculating the creep first requires knowing the sheet thickness, which can be roughly calculated from the sheet grammage:
paperCaliper＝0.003390036*paperWeight。
then the total climbing amount is calculated,
creepLength＝(pageCount/2)*paperCaliper/2。
and (3) the total climbing amount is spread on each page, each page is gradually and transversely reduced from outside to inside, and scale = (pageWidth-street)/pageWidth is adopted to realize the inward climbing effect.
In addition, specific description is made according to the output file type, for example:
archiving the class file: the file is required to be punched, so that the file is convenient to bind and file and is flexible to take. In PMF description, file punching parameters are described in output setting.
Conference class files: and the document is required to be printed on both sides and bound in a corner nail mode. In the PMF description, a single side and a double side in a page attribute are described as double sides, and an output setting is described as a corner nail.
And (3) standard book type files: the cover is required to be thick and bound into a book. In the PMF description, the cover inserts were printed in thick paper; the output setting is described as booklet binding.
And so on.
In a network, various print model descriptions (PMFs) are issued from a print server, and a printer only needs to select a desired model description for printing at the time of printing and specify a printer that the printer wants to select.
The enterprise's office computer, i.e., the printer, may then select (either on a drive or web basis) the PMF description file for the print server and the printing device to which the print server is connected.
And finally, the printer selects a PMF description model for the file and sends the PMF description model to the printing server. The print server will generate print data, fit the appropriate printer, and print as described by the PMF.
