One Vision has introduced a new version of Speedflow Impose 2.2, its imposition software for commercial and digital print.

The update enhances networked processes in print and media production and for the first time enables users to impose in-RIP based on JDF claimed One Vision.

Speedflow Impose supports PDF 1.6, the new PDF version in Adobe Acrobat 7.

Starting together with the product launch of the new Acrobat version, Speedflow Impose offers fast and easy imposition of PDF 1.6 documents believes One Vision.

After JDF export had already been implemented in 2003, One Vision introduced the import of JDF based as well as PJTF based imposition schemes at Drupa 2004.

The company believes that imposition schemes of other programs can be taken over easily via standardised JDF job tickets ever since.

In the third JDF stage of extension Speedflow Impose now offers what One Vision claimed is a world first with in-RIP imposition via JDF job tickets.

According to individual requirements Speedflow Impose 2.2 can now provide a JDF file, the source files and PDF pages as well as an additional PDF containing all marks to the RIP.

Imposition is then handled in-RIP using the JDF information and the pages.

Based on Speedflow Impose imposition information, the RIP can place the pages directly in the right order and set the marks according to the mark PDF said One Vision.

In that way corrections and changes inside the source PDF pages can be carried out until the very last minute before the RIP process starts.

Furthermore the data volume can be reduced, since only relevant pages have to be transferred to the RIP instead of complete imposed sheets.

Additionally single separations of composite PDF files can be imaged facilitating fast production of replacement or correction plates.

A new JDF export menu in Speedflow Impose 2.2 now allows configuration of JDF job tickets.

That facilitates free allocation of JDF IDs allowing users to harmonise the naming of files according to the procedure at other production steps - for instance, it can integrate the job number in a file name for better identification.

Alternatively Speedflow Impose can directly provide a completed flat as a PDF for RIP processing, as supplied before, added the company.

Additional features of Speedflow Impose 2.2 concentrate on improved usability.

User defined marks like control strips can now be centered automatically independent of sheet format in order to place them always relatively to press and punching in a unified way claimed One Vision.

To identify files quicker, the default name for imposed output is now based on job name and title.

Furthermore, the integration of Speedflow Impose 2.2 in to Speedflow Cockpit, One Vision's PDF workflow control and collaboration tool, has been improved.
