Definitions

  • the invention relates in particular to a method for controlling the printing process when printing in offset printing, whereby data is first generated in a prepress stage and subsequent to a data processing unit, in particular a raster imaging processor (RIP) and then forwarded to a printing press.
  • a data processing unit in particular a raster imaging processor (RIP)
  • a printing process when a printing process is carried out, it is first performed in one so-called prepress created the template to be printed.
  • This template is used in further process steps produced the required number of printing plates, wherein In conventional printing, color separations are first created and then these Color separations are used for printing form production.
  • the completed printing forms are then placed in a printing press and used for printing.
  • the Printing machine is connected to a control unit, with the help of which the printing machine can be monitored, and by the printer for entering job-related data can be used.
  • RIP raster imaging processor
  • a disadvantage of the system described above is that it only works under large Difficulties are possible, the data available in the RIP with that in the printing press to manually assemble existing, especially order-related data. This is particularly difficult when a print job consists of several Printing operations exist because the merging of this data then completely is excluded because these printing processes are no longer linked can. In this case, automatic recalculation of the print job is not possible.
  • the object of the present invention is therefore to provide a process for controlling the Propose printing process in which the job to be processed is better controlled and can be traced.
  • a prepress area 10 is shown schematically, in which the for Printing process required templates are generated.
  • This so-called prepress data are mostly in the form of Postscript or PDF files and are considered as such Files forwarded to a RIP 12.
  • the RIP generates from the incoming postscript or PDF data so-called bitmap files for each of the required color separations. These bitmap files could be attached to this when using a direct imaging press handed over and used to expose the plate in the printing press.
  • an additional component 14 which as essential or Exclusive component has a database 15, in which the RIP upcoming data will be registered. This database is able to create a relational link between all incoming data.
  • the one from the RIP incoming data can include an ID number, a document name, a bitmap name, a processing time for the RIP or other relevant for the RIP Show information.
  • the data coming from the RIP 12 are preferred over a RIP event processing unit 16 is routed to the additional unit 14.
  • the Event processing unit 16 becomes the data coming from RIP 12 in this respect prepared as only the data later required for the printing press is written become.
  • the RIP event processing unit 16 serves as Data filter logic that determined according to a fixed or changeable logic Filters data on the way from RIP 12 to database 15. Be forwarded in particular the document name or information that the processing data in the RIP concern. In particular, such data is not forwarded for the later Execution in the printing press are irrelevant or redundant. These include for example so-called intermediate states, such as the size of the generated bitmaps in pixels.
  • the RIP event processing unit 16 can constantly use the current one State of the RIP. At an end signal that the end of processing by the RIP, the RIP processing unit 16 is informed that a Job was completed. All operating data are then stored in the database 15 filed where they can be relationally related.
  • a second Possibility is that in the RIP event processing unit 16 the Operating data in a file, especially in a so-called "log file” continuously be carried along. By constantly analyzing this file, the relevant information corresponding to that in the RIP event processing device 16 stored logic analyzed and possibly stored in the database 15.
  • the data stored in the database 15 can then be sent to a printing press, in particular a so-called direct imaging printing machine. there it essentially does not matter whether the data of the printing press 18 is immediate via route A or indirectly via the RIP, i.e. via route B drawn in dashed lines be forwarded.
  • the printing press 18 can also have other units, such as one Device for color zone control 20, a device for imaging 24 and one Device for controlling the machine 22, which also includes a device for detecting May have operational data.
  • one Device for color zone control 20 a device for imaging 24
  • one Device for controlling the machine 22 which also includes a device for detecting May have operational data.
  • operating data are also recorded for example in the number of actually printed sheets of waste, the makeready time, the Print time or the like can exist. These operating data can either automatically recorded, read in externally or entered by a user. The operating data are then sent to a print event processing unit 26 forwarded, which analyzes the incoming data, processes them if necessary and then passes on to the database 15 of the additional component 14.
  • additional component 14 and the database 15 are shown individually in FIG Components are shown, it is of course possible to use these two To combine components in such a way that there is only one component, so that this additional component 14 coincides with the database 15.
  • the order unit 30 is in a bidirectional connection E with the relational one Database 15.
  • relational database 15 can, as already in Described in connection with FIG. 1, by direct route A or indirectly, for example via the RIP 12 on route B, which is drawn in dashed lines, to Printing machine to be stirred further.
