Digital Press

In [Digital Press], settings are performed for the digital press device, which is the final output target for the digital press flow.

For digital press output using XMF, a rendered image is not directly output from the digital press device. Instead, JDF that describes print information and imposition PDF is output to the digital front end (DFE) that controls the digital press device. Print information is obtained from the JDF received by the DFE, and then the PDF is rendered and output to the digital press device.

In addition, when outputting with a device such as a wide-format printing device, you can output a PDF that was performed colour conversion or used to generate a Finished PDF/X in XMF to DFE.

Note

To arrange [Digital Press] as a workflow item, right-click [Press] and select [Digital Press] in the context menu. [Press] is changed to [Digital Press], and a workflow set is added as a new stream.

When a PDF is output from XMF, it is not converted to a size for a wide-format printing device. To enlarge the data to a size for a wide-format printing device, do so with DFE of a wide-format printing device.

For data created with a package printing application, knockout information cannot be handled in XMF. Use an external system for knockout post-press processing.

Caution

If [TIFF Bypass] is set in the job template, [Press] cannot be changed to [Digital Press]. Also, only [Plates] and [ROOM Proof] are displayed in [Items] palette.
