Title:

JUST-IN-TIME RASTER IMAGE ASSEMBLY

Document Type and Number:

Japanese Patent JP2003058355

Kind Code:

A

Abstract:

To enhance an electronic prepress workflow by dispensing with generation of an integrated raster image of multi-page press sheet assembly.

A print drive is present in the electronic prepress workflow, and this prepress workflow includes a raster image processor (RIP) and an output device to receive, store, combine and transmit raster data processed by the raster image processor. A prepress imposition scheme is created at a front end and processed by the RIP. A press sheet templates is generated by prepress imposition parameters and transmitted to the print drive. The print drive is capable of applying the press sheet template to page raster data on demand and forming a multi-page press sheet assembly so that raster images of individual pages remain independent.
