Leveraging automation for large format output devices
Dwight Kelly, president, Apago Inc.
Large format has its own unique production requirements. Many repetitive tasks that are currently done manually can be automated. For example, accepting customer files, conversion to PDF, preflighting and making corrections. Once you have good reliable PDF files it's possible to create optimized nested impositions to reduce waste.
What you'll learn
- Standardize customer provided artwork, identify problem jobs early
- Convert native files to PDF, preflight and fix problems
- Nest jobs to produce more with less waste
- Add barcodes and other job information
