At present, the printing industry is facing a series of severe challenges, such as “with the popularization of computer-to-plate (CTP) technology, it is necessary to further shorten the delivery time”. “As the user demand diversifies, small-volume business will increase. "Reduction", "subject to the reduction of funds and fierce competition, the printing unit price continues to decline", "because of the rising cost of raw materials, ensuring profits become a difficult problem" and so on.
Printing companies must develop an unprecedented business strategy to consolidate and expand their business in such a difficult environment.
As a means of getting out of trouble, printing companies are seriously considering the realization of "the overall optimization of the printing business", and establish a one-stop production system from the development of the printing plan to the delivery of the final print.
The flexible use of the JDF data format to form a digital workflow is a key factor in achieving these goals.
System integration of isolated processes through JDF
Different processes and departments use JDF for information sharing
The Job Definition Format (JDF), pioneered by CIP4, is a common language that enables communication between different systems. Specifically, different processes and departments use JDF to exchange or share various types of information flexibly and freely across each other's boundaries. In addition, JDF can be used to integrate the various processes of polarization (synchronized sharing of information due to the nature of the process). The two poles mentioned here refer to the management department (mainly including DTP data management, receiving/issuing orders, job management, schedule management, cost management, etc.) and the production department (printing specifications, paper specifications, actual operation results, post-press processing specifications, etc.) ).
Can you solve all problems by building a network that supports JDF?
Before deciding on the statement that “supporting JDF means achieving overall optimization”, it should be noted that although JDF can be used to establish an unobstructed information flow (software) network and to flexibly use almost all printing business processes. Information, but each process terminal that is the source of information is composed of hardware such as a proofer, a computer-to-plate system (CTP), a printer, or a paper cutter. No matter how good the data flow, if the terminal device is unstable, it will not work. The digital response capabilities and machine performance of various types of equipment greatly influence the overall optimization effect. KOMORI believes that JDF should be used ingeniously to achieve partial optimization of each process, and to improve the overall optimization effect by pursuing partial optimization.
Digital workflow based on DoNet concept
Say goodbye to “return to work” and establish a “complete operation” system to achieve partial optimization.
Achieving 'optimization of print jobs' has become a top priority
How to reduce "cost waste" is a problem that must be considered in the process of optimizing the process. The vast majority of “cost waste” is caused by secondary processing or modification operations for different processes, namely “return to work”. The key to bidding farewell to the “return to work” is to establish a “complete operation” system. It is necessary to thoroughly classify the contents of each process, carefully produce qualified work results, and pass the results to the next process accurately.
This means having a press that supports digital workflows, with advanced data management capabilities and advanced software that can efficiently process all types of data.
It is imperative to construct a work environment that can achieve "standardization of printing processes - standardization of printing operations" by using hardware and software flexibly and skillfully. The well-established business network can select the most needed high-quality information and conduct effective and reliable data management through JDF.
Refer to the DoNet concept to build a digital workflow
DoNet is a digital workflow. From the perspective of printing equipment manufacturers, KOMORI focuses on high-performance printing presses (devices that print final prints) that can process digital information, aiming to achieve "standardization of printing operations." In order to ensure the connection with prepress equipment and postpress processing equipment, KOMORI's DoNet supports the JDF data format. Through repeated connection testing, it achieves unparalleled compatibility with the world's most famous equipment manufacturers and distributors. The operating environment is the starting point and fully implements the concept of an open network structure.
In order to further pursue the "optimal" realm, KOMORI has developed seven major topics, namely color management, support for operator operations, shortened job preparation time, stable and reliable high-speed printing, reduced material waste, optimization of production processes and printing. Standardization of the environment, and tirelessly carry out product research and development activities for these issues.
