Definitions
- the invention relates to a method and a device for the electronic recording of printing sheets with a printing sheet assembly station, a raster image processor (RIP) and an imagesetter (recorder or imagesetter).
- RIP raster image processor
- imagesetter recorder or imagesetter
- the individual pages can be assembled into printed sheets manually or using an assembly station.
- WYSIWIG what you see is what you get
- PostScript so-called PostScript pages
- the structure and general mode of operation of such a printing sheet assembly station can be found in the “Sig ⁇ nstation” brochure from Linotype-Hell, Germany, pages 1 to 8, order no. 1292T MDO Lino 001 / 4d, 188-198 FHM.
- the assembled sheet is printed as a PostScript document and contains all the information that is necessary for a so-called print-compliant output.
- the RIP is used, among other things, to convert the information to be recorded into machine commands that control the recorder. Recorders or image setters are pure recording devices without their own intelligence, which can only record individual pixels (device pixels).
- DTP Desktop Publishing
- PostScript a so-called PostScript job is created, in which several pages are in a row in a file (file).
- These jobs are also called “print-to-disk files” and can be several megabytes in size.
- the assembly station and RIP are components of a system in which finished press sheets are prepared for output on PostScript imagesetters. Communication between the individual components of the system usually takes place via a network.
- the printing sheet assembly station sends entire sheets to the RIP, which are treated there as one page. Since these are large files, the processing of which requires considerable computing time, the processing of the entire pages on the RIP has an unfavorable effect on the load on the network. In addition, the RIP becomes slow, which also delays the release of the film.
- the runtime behavior and thus the performance of the entire page assembly system is therefore negatively influenced by the fact that the RIP treats the entire printed sheet as a single page.
- an intermediate memory (page buffer) of appropriate storage capacity is connected between the RIP and the recorder, which reconnects the strands to full pages.
- Fig. 2 shows an embodiment of the invention with a recorder that works in the start / stop mode
- Fig. 3 shows an embodiment of the invention with a recorder that does not work in the start / stop mode.
- a strand can encompass all the sides that are vertically or horizontally in a row. In terms of data technology, this is extremely simple, since only the file that describes the entire printed sheet needs to be broken down into individual strips across the writing direction of the recorder. Since the position coordinates of the individual pages are known from imposition, the strand formation is thus carried out on the basis of these coordinates or addresses according to FIG. 1. The strand formation takes place in the assembly station of FIG. 2.
- the starting file is the PostScript sheet file, which according to the prior art has been created from individual parts (pages) according to the imposition scheme.
- the printed sheet can also be produced in accordance with the applicant's PCT patent application in parallel, "Process for the electronic assembly of printed sheets", registered on September 7, 1994, German priority on September 7, 1993, file number P 43 30 242.4.
- a sheet-post script file is created that contains all the data for output of the printed sheet. This file is given directly to the RIP by the part of the server designated "Print Server”.
- the strands are then passed on to the RIP via the server and treated as individual PostScript pages by the RIP.
- the strands are then passed from the RIP to the recorder and reassembled into complete sheets in the recorder. If a recorder with start / stop operation is used, the strand formation takes advantage of the property of these imagesetters that they can stop exactly after the exposure of a scan line. This makes it possible to stop at the end of one strand and to add the next strand seamlessly. So the first line of the second line connects seamlessly to the last line of the first line.
- a buffer is provided between the RIP and the recorder, in which the strands are put together again to form a complete printed sheet.
- the recorder can then expose the entire printed sheet in one pass.
- the "strand formation” method is therefore used to achieve better throughput. Possible incorrect exposures are also avoided. This leads to higher operational reliability.
- a RIP has limited resources, such as storage capacity, it may not be possible to calculate an entire sheet in some cases because there is not enough memory. This is ruled out during strand formation. Overall, the RIP utilization is better in the strand formation, since an overlapping calculation and exposure is made possible.
