Workflow: many jobs involve workflow, estimating, sales, project management, customer service, purchasing scheduling. Typical workflow for premedia: step 1, a job starts long before any digital files are received, step 2, press ready pdf file generated, step 3, job ticket created, step 4, pdf file(s) added to job and processing parameters are defined, step 5, processed job is proofed, step 6, approval/ correction cycle, step 7, output job. For example: it ensures the alignment between the image area on plate and the position of the paper, it can maximize the printable area of the paper, it enables multi page jobs to be properly imposed, and much more, when determining the proper position of a printing job for press, we must consider both the sheet and the plate, a standard offset press sheet is usually wider than it is tall (landscape).
