Key Features in Version 1.7 Bin Management Work Shift Schedule Job Proofing Rip and Store Adjust Print Quantities

Bin Management Overview Manage job assignment to a pre-defined list of bins based on specific job properties Use the new enumeration data type to create the list of bins in your shop When a job comes into the collection work center and is scanned, the operator will be informed what bin to place it in If this is the first job in a collection, the system will designate an empty bin (Suggest Destination) If this is the next job in a collection, the system will point the operator to the bin with the other jobs for this collection (Validate destination) Once all jobs for the order have been placed in the bin, the system will indicate that the collection is complete and the bin can be freed up for use again

Job Proofing Workflow Overview Produce a copy of 1or more as a hard proof for approval and then commence the full production without having to re-submit the job Customers can track job proofs as part of the production plan The Indigo work center has now been expanded to include 2 additional process types: Indigo Proof Printing Indigo Ripping An Indigo Ripping Step has been added to the Process tool box Include an approval step in the plan and use the new “Proof” template to ensure proper linking of the assets as they move to the printing step The proofing feature enables users to print the proof using EPM color mode, as an example, but if the rest of the prints needs to change to CMYK, the color mode can be switched to CMYK on the DFE and the job can progress to the regular Indigo Printing step and print the total number copies with CMYK   Once the proof has been approved, the job will resume printing and will not be ripped twice for these operations

Job Ripping Workflow Overview Pre-Rip jobs while press is busy or during after hours and store the files for printing at a later and more convenient time An Indigo Ripping Step has been added to the Process tool box Define a Rip folder destination on the DFE to store the ripped files Jobs that have been ripped and stored, do not need to be ripped again prior to printing Rip jobs for proof + print so that job isn't ripped twice for these operations Use the new “DFE Task Type” column in the Indigo work center to monitor whether the job is in a Proof Mode, Ripped and Waiting or Ready for Print

Adjust Quantities Overview Automatically modify print copies to adjust for waste you may encounter downstream in a finishing step, to use when printing proof copies, or to account for overage. Adjust print copies in order to have a few extras in case there is waste in setting up some downstream finishing step Adjust the number of copies of a document to repeat inside a merged document at the Asset Merge work center
