TIFFPager conversion application
TIFFPager is a new product from Lucid that brings a
broad range of capabilities to prepress and printing companies.
TIFFPager is a fully automated, JDF enabled application that can process up to 16 full res
1 bit TIFF files, cutting, snipping, folding, combining, colorizing, down sampling and producing
multiple output files in PDF and/or JPEG format.
TIFFPager has many possible uses such as:
1.Post Rip Workflow for Imposition
| |
|
Bypass the headaches of imposing "application files" and then trying to
deal with rip - trap - correction cycles. Instead rip and trap individual
pages and let TIFFPager create imposition ready PDF files.
These files are easier to proof, easier to correct and easier to impose.
|
|
2.Creating Progressive Color Overlay Proofs
| |
|
TIFFPager can be configured to automatically monitor hot folders picking up 1 bit TIFF
files and then to search the file name or internal TIFF Tags to determine the ink represented by this file.
Then using an extensive, user editable, table of ink colors it creates PDF files of each 1 bit TIFF that
is colorized for the ink. These files then drop into a hot folder for a printer with clear film loaded.
These prints are then mounted on top to produce the progressive color overlay proof.

3.Creating Composite Color Proofs
| |
|
Similar to #2, TIFFPager is configured to monitor a folder of 1 bit TIFF files and look for job naming characteristics.
Collecting a set of files representing a complete job (based on a timeout value) it colorizes the files and combines
them into a composite color PDF with downsampling as needed.
|
|
4.Creating Soft Proofs
| |
|
Similar to #3, TIFFPager is configured to collect, colorize, combine, downsample,
and generate a JPEG file that can be viewed in any web browser.
|
|
5.Tiling of Impositions for output to smaller devices
| |
|
TIFFPager can be used to load multiple 1 bit TIFF files from larger signatures.
Then multiple "Output Packages" can be specified for clipping sections of the signatures into smaller
pieces, with or without overlaps. These pieces are then output as PDF at full resolution and are ready
to expose the signature on smaller devices.
|
|
6.De-Imposing Signatures for Soft or Hard Proofing
| |
|
As with #'s3-4, in addition to monitoring for 1 bit TIFF files, TIFFPager can also monitor
for JDF files from popular Imposition packages and automatically associate JDF and TIFF files sets based on Job,
Signature, and Side naming parameters. It then will crop and rotate each 'Page' out of the signature, colorized,
down-sampled and saved as PDF and/or JPG.

These are a few of the many ways TIFFPager can help your organization and we are anxious to hear how TIFFPager can help you.
