摘要:
Systems and methods for reducing delays in printing print jobs use a RIP or a digital front end generally, to maintain an inventory of pre-ripped ready to print work that can be sent to the print engine to prevent an engine shutdown due to the RIPs inability to keep up with the engine. The systems and methods for reducing delays in printing print jobs can track performance in real time and automatically switch to printing jobs from post-RIP content archive if it is determined that the print engine is at risk of outpacing the RIP or DFE such that printing will be interrupted at the print engine.

A photo composition system applies digital watermarks such as glossmarks and correlation marks to a user's image to produce a marked version of the image. A compatibility measure is computed and presented to the user as an aid in mark selection or the decision to even apply a mark to the image. Compatibility measures can be improved by automated image enhancement processes that adjust the image to be more compatible with the mark.

A system and method for creating a remote custom rendering profile and automatically delivering and installing the resulting remote custom profile into a digital front end (DFE) in order to perform color management for a rendering device. A color test rendering job comprising color swatches with a number of additional information can be forwarded to a remote service provider and the test job can be scanned and the custom rendering profile can be generated utilizing a profiler application. The resultant rendering profile can then be electronically transferred back to the rendering device based on the additional information and can be installed without user intervention.

Apparatus are provided, including a document application and a bleed creation mechanism. The bleed creation mechanism includes an image extender to automatically determine non-blank extended image information based on a location of a blank perimeter area of a page description language (PDL) file. The image extender further populates the blank perimeter area with the non-blank extended image information.

A method of processing a print job in a document production environment includes receiving a job ticket having job ticket parameters, identifying a process plan template having processing instructions for processing the print job and performing a parameter value resolving process for each job ticket parameter. The resolving process may include identifying candidate values, identifying the source associated with each of the candidate values and determining whether a candidate value has a source having precedence. If a source has precedence, the corresponding candidate value may be selected as a resolved parameter value. A user may be presented with a representation of a set of the resolved parameter values and may be permitting to modify at least one of the resolved parameter values. A first portion of the print job may be processed using the identified process plan template, the resolved parameter values, and any user-modified parameter values.

A method for assembling a document generates a set of candidate content items for inclusion in the document, The content items may be stored in a computer-readable storage medium, A set of production criteria for printing the candidate content items as a document may be selected. An inclusion constraint is automatically applied to the set of production criteria. If the set of production criteria does not satisfy the inclusion constraint, a conflict may be resolved. One or more production criteria in the set may be identified that may be modified. A user selection of at least one production criteria that may be modified may be received. The identified production criteria may be modified according to the user selection. A document may be created that includes the modified production criteria and the candidate content items. The document may be published.
摘要:
A method and system for achieving consistent color control by integrating multiple color management and rendering techniques using single multi-level user control. Page Description Language (PDL) data and job processing instructions can be modified upstream of the Raster Image Processor (RIP). The processing operations associated with processing a print job comprising of at least one page include at least one of: flattening all objects on the at least one page into a single layer; removing overprint commands from the print job; converting all objects on the at least one page into a common colorspace; removing embedded tone reproduction curves and halftone screens from the print job.
摘要:
Method for predicting lithology and porosity of subsurface rocks from seismic reflection data. The seismic data is inverted to yield elastic properties of the rocks such as the compressional and shear impedances. A rock physics model is built to relate porosity, the shale volume fraction, the fluid content of the rock and the elastic properties of the rock. The model is run backward in a second inversion process to solve for porosity and lithologic properties such as the shale volume fraction.

The invention generates a page description language compliant data stream, that has been pre-designed and pre-processed to create unique and predictable page element ordering, overlay layout, and for splitting large page elements into multiple independent elements. In this way, multiple processors can be used to render the document without merging the data stream.
摘要:
A printing system alternately provides both literal finishing and abstract finishing to a print job. The printing system includes a user interface for supplying print job information including desired finishing instructions. A finishing element is also provided which applies a finishing operation to a print job, and a processor is in communication with both the user interface and the finishing element. The processor determines compatibility between the finishing element and the desired finishing instruction and upon determining incompatibility, selects a compatible finishing instruction for the finishing element. The compatible finishing instruction may be either a literal finishing operation available on the printing system, or an abstract finishing operation. Abstract finishing operations include insertion of slipsheets and/or marking separators between compilation boundaries of a print job with data including machine-readable code or human-readable code indicative of the desired final finishing operation.
