Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a method for the production of printed products .
  • the invention relates to a method for creating a plurality of versions of a printed product from a digital representation of input documents .
  • the graphic arts industry deals with the production of printed products such as magazines , catalogues , packaging, promotional or corporate materials , books or specialty products .
  • the printed products are typically produced using offset , flexographic , screen, gravure , digital , sheet- or web-fed printing presses .
  • the production of a printed product in the graphic enterprise involves an intense professional interaction between at least three parties .
  • a first party is the print buyer 110 , 111.
  • the print buyer is a customer . He may be a publisher (for example of magazines or books ) or a corporate organization (as for corporate documents or in the packaging industry) or a pre-press house that acts upon one of the former . In large organizations , the print buyer may also be also be an in-house pre-press department .
  • a second party is the work center 120.
  • the work center is the entity where the actual transformation from digital input documents to printed product takes place .
  • a third party is the customer service representative 130. He serves as the middle man between a print buyer and the work center . Overview workflow
  • a typical workflow in the graphic enterprise could be as follows .
  • the customer service representative interprets the needs of the print buyer in technical terms and communicates them to the work center . Based on feedback from the work center, the customer service representative calculates a cost of the print proj ect and quotes a price to the print buyer . If a deal is made , the print buyer submits 210 to the customer service representative the input materials . The work center processes these input materials into a softcopy or hardcopy proof for customer approval . If necessary, the customer gives instructions to correct the proof .
  • This customer approval cycle 220 is managed by the customer service representative and may be repeated a few times until final approval by the customer is obtained . After the customer approval , the manufacturing process 230 of the printed product can be initiated followed by delivery and billing 240.
  • the production planning department makes a production plan .
  • the same department also defines the physical structure of the product .
  • physical structure is meant how the publication is divided into sections , what the size of said sections is and how they are bound together to make up the final product .
  • the production planning department can also determine how the sections are to be printed .
  • the topological mapping of the logical page order of a section to page positions and orientations on the printing plate leads to the definition of the signatures and the imposition layout .
  • the production planning department preferably uses a production planning system or software to manage this process .
  • An example of a system that comprises such functionality is the Agfa ' s DelanoTM software product developed and marketed by the company Agfa-Gevaert NV .
  • the imposition layout enables to plan for the required finishing and binding operations of the printed sheets .
  • the different bindery sections have to be cut and fed into the folders . Afterwards , the folded sections are collected together for binding ( stitching, gluing, sewing etc . ) .
  • the content assignment can be broken up into two separate steps .
  • a first step the customer assigns the digital content to logical pages of the final printed product .
  • the customer approves the content assignment using a reader' s spread view of the product .
  • An example of such a reader' s spread is shown in Figure 3 and visualizes the pages of a small regional newspaper row by row in such a way as if the reader was browsing through the printed product .
  • a second step is carried out in the prepress department and consists of putting the logical pages correctly in run lists associated with the imposition templates .
  • This mapping makes use of the imposition templates that were decided on in the production plan .
  • Digital content management becomes considerably more complex in the case of cross -product manufacturing, i . e . , the case that sections of different products are printed using one shared printing plate , for example for reasons of cost optimization .
  • digital content management is preferably performed by means of a management system information system ( "MIS" ) .
  • MIS management system information system
  • This product is specifically designed for a customer service representative and comprises functionality to assist him in managing the information and logistic flows between a work center and a print buyer .
  • Some existing management information systems comprise a cost estimation module .
  • a cost estimation module Provided that sufficiently detailed information is possible of the process-related parameters to manufacture a specific printed product , such a cost estimation module can determine what the cost is for producing said printed product . This information can be used by the customer service representative to a quote price of a printed product to the print buyer .
  • variable data printing examples include direct mailings with a customized name and address field or a sophisticated marketing campaign in which an offering is customized based on the recipient ' s profile .
  • a press run in the case variable data printing may be as short as one single specimen and there may be as many individual press-runs as customized specimens .
  • specimens of a versioned printed product are not necessarily all identical , but the variations are small enough in number that can be realized by conventional printing techniques .
  • One example is a household furniture catalogue that is to be published in different versions featuring different languages . Assuming that the pictures are the same for all versions , the color plates can be shared by all versions , and only black plate representing the text has to be different for the different versions .
  • Another example is an advertising leaflet that is to be printed for different countries having different currencies or different pricing .
  • Yet another example are advertising leaflets that are customized for specific retailers .
  • a number of pages of said leaflet may show a selection of products or brands that is specific for said retailer .
  • the front or back page is also customized for a specific retailer .
  • versioned products in which the number of pages varies across different versions .
  • the local authorities tax the free distribution of advertising material . This tax can vary from region to region and there are instances where said tax can be dodged by including editorial content with the distribution . Depending on the local situation, costs may be reduced by including editorial content in versions for specific regions . This will result in an increase of the number of pages for said versions .
  • a first reason for this is that the content management task for producing versioned printed products is significantly more complex than in the case of non-versioned products . This is particularly the case if different versions are not defined at the page level , but at the level of page components . Such complexity increases the risk of mistakes and the need for additional approval cycles . In general , the complexity of versioned products leads to increased costs .
  • one prior art method starts from a particular existing version of a printed product and then derives a new version by modifying or replacing elements in said existing version to obtain a different version.
  • a second problem with the prior art methods is that each version of the printed product exists on its own, and that production optimization across different versions to reduce cost is not available .
