Impostrip Repurposing & Proof

Repurposing:

Impostrip Repurpose bridges offset and digital by allowing to re-print on digital press any project previously imposed for sheetfed or multi-web offset presses.

Advantages:
  • Makes re-print of an offset job as a short run on digital press profitable
  • Offset printers benefit from this new competitive advantage by eliminating imposition on re-prints
  • Streamlined re-print as part of any workflow using hot folder integration
  • Repurpose Impostrip, Preps and JDF jobs from any workflow
  • Allows offset printers to print more jobs on their digital press
  • Respects the integrity by re-assembling the pages to output as 2-up duplex respecting the collating method
  • Binding options offer flexibility and choices to produce a perfect bound book or a saddle-stitch booklet on a digital press
  • Allows the elimination of bleed to fit on the available paper or if there is no space for a trim
  • Collating marks to verify the order of the multiple-signature job after folding
Proof:

Impostrip Proof is the fastest way to accurately proof a group of signatures of an offset project, on a duplex printer automatically to secure the imposition.

Advantages:
  • Eliminates the high cost of printing 8up imposition on inkjet plotters
  • Hot Folder streamlined proofing as part of any workflow
  • Input Impostrip, Preps Jobs or JDF jobs from any workflow
  • Detect errors like misaligned page etc, prior to go to CtP, preventing waist
  • Ensures 100% imposition accuracy on complex sheetfed or multi-web jobs
Specification:
  • Input imposed signatures and simulates folding and cutting to produce 2-up imposed proofs (duplex)
  • Accepts jobs from Impostrip
  • Accepts and proofs JDF imposition from other vendors, populated or unpopulated JDF
  • Proofs Signatures using the original imposition, printing pages of each signature in a 2-up form regardless of imposition template design
  • Includes option to analyze all signatures, simulates folding and cutting and creates 2-up signatures
  • Prints 2-ups based on complete job, outputs as a perfect bound, saddle stitch or a combination of both
  • 2-up forms (duplex) can be viewed on screen
  • Option to print ranges of 2-up forms or all forms
  • Option to outline pages for easier proof page registration
  • Printing can be output to file or an output device
  • Can be automated with Acrobat to produce PDF output
  • Can return JDF files to a workflow system that will populate the JDF and manage output to a printer
  • Can work with EPS low-resolution placement pages
  • Option to print forms with page content in the imposition or as a mock-up (numbering and layout)
  • Option to scale to fit to the printer paper size used printing 2 pages per sheet side
  • Proofing process can be automated with the hot folders
  • Leverages Ultimate’s Client-Server architecture for increased production speed and capacity
  • Light version supports sheetfed impositions, using perfect bound or saddle stitch collating methods
  • Full version supports sheetfed and web impositions, using per fect bound, saddle stitch, sectionals, repeating booklets and coming and going collating methods
