Connect telecommunications - a bridge to development
2018-06-27 17:00:23
With the development of high-speed telecommunications and networks, printing companies can shorten production time, reduce costs, increase profits, develop business opportunities other than printing, and increase their competitiveness. Connecting telecommunications links is like building a bridge for new businesses.
Even through the mid-1990s, it was not easy to send files through the Internet. Many in the industry prefer to deliver their files by express delivery or mailing because they cannot cope with the limitations of the Internet. At that time, there was no ready-made solution that made the use of the network popular.
The market needs Today, many companies use "traditional" telecommunication methods, including: BBS files, FTP, ISDN, and e-mail. According to industry statistics, 80% of electronic files are transmitted as e-mail attachments.
The delivery of digital archives has become a way to speed up work production and can respond to the market faster. More and more large companies require their suppliers to keep pace with modern technologies and use them to meet their requirements.
Due to the pressure to cope with the production speed, the expansion of service scope and the assurance of its status as an approved supplier, more and more prepress companies have closely integrated telecommunication with daily work methods. Their telecommunications program allows them to move from original file transfer methods to remote proofing and digital asset management. Ultimately, however, the solution is not limited to simple email attachments and applications that allow users to remotely control the press.
Solutions In general, there are four types of communication methods suitable for the graphic arts environment: ISDN, leased lines, (virtual) private networks, and the Internet.
ISDN (Integrated Digital Services Network) is a widely used dial-up service. It's getting cheaper and cheaper. If the company cannot determine the amount of data to be transmitted, then ISDN is the best solution. At the same time, these companies will save a lot of shipping and postage fees.
The leased line program can provide a fixed bandwidth, but its cost is also fixed. The cost is the same no matter how much you use. Its users are generally companies or internet providers that have different workplaces. Such companies need to use the internet continuously.
Many companies understand that establishing their own communications network does not make much sense. Virtual Private networks are characterized by reliable and secure delivery. The price is based on the megabyte used. The Internet generally only provides the maximum possible amount of access, but it does not guarantee the performance of the transmission.
A large number of graphic arts companies may consider finding an Internet provider to provide him with VPN solutions. This solution can provide a secure and relatively inexpensive network service.
However, even if the company's internal workflow has been digitized, the transmission of messages has not yet fully evolved from traditional reporting boards or e-mail to full digital connectivity. The choice of too many solutions makes it difficult for the user to choose, but not to choose is no doubt worse. In order to maintain the company's competitiveness, both printers and prepress suppliers must be prepared in this regard.
Fortunately, the source of the program is that a new telecommunications service provider has emerged to provide services specifically for printers and prepress companies. For example, Cisco Systems, 3Com, and Wam!Net all provide effective digital networks
solution.
Most of these company's solutions provide a ready-made way compatible with the above-mentioned telecommunication way: They include FTP server, ISDN interface, common network and telecommunication equipment, communication agreement support and so on. Ultimately, the basic configuration will be controlled by software selection.
Obviously, mature telecommunication technologies, ready-made software solutions, the birth of service companies targeted at the graphic arts industry, and the omnipresent Internet all add up to the establishment of a brand new printing and prepress business market. They have created many possibilities for expanding the scope of services and improving service levels. These various combinations will play a decisive role in the speed and success of the graphic arts industry.
Non-printing service examples · File transfer · Remote proofing · Digital asset management (database management, storage, etc.)
· Off-site printing production and workflows · Interactive production processes (between printers, agents, publishers and customers)
· SGML-based data processing · Development of desktop publishing software plug-ins (downloadable from the Internet)
· Internet-based e-commerce (converting prints into e-books, e-magazines, etc.)
· Digital Photo Gallery · Web Maintenance
Example of connecting telecommunications • Earth Color's focus on technology has enabled the company to become one of the most competitive companies in the printing industry in New York City, New Jersey.
· Earth Color connects the New Jersey web and sheet-fed workshop with equipment in New York on the T1 line. Because the company uses Apogee, they can send PDF files for remote output and exposure, and they can also send rasterized files directly to a remote Print Drive to queue up for delivery to the Galileo platesetter.
• The next step is to connect their equipment in Florida so that the work approved in New York City at 5 pm can be transferred to a direct plate-making machine in Florida and the printing on the machine at 10 pm.
· To achieve this goal, Earth Color provided customers with a digital asset management service that uses an individual transaction-based economic model. Customers can log into the Internet to browse low-resolution thumbnails and download suitable images. After creating their files, designers can upload them to Earth Color's secure FTP site so that proofing can be done overnight.
· Although the company's telecommunications setup is already in a bottleneck, but fortunately inexpensive broadband ADSL connection will soon emerge. Earth Color's goal is to become a customer's digital storage warehouse.
