Ultimate Technographics said that once something is printed to paper is no longer 'digital', it has been converted to a static analogue print.
Locating it, organising it, determining what job it is and what customer it belongs to can be a challenge, that is particularly unprofitable in a digital printing environment where the job maybe one impression, even if it can be part of a VDP run of thousands.
The company added that barcodes can also be used to pass on information to press and post-press equipment to increase accuracy of finishing operations and ensure the integrity of documents.

Barcodes can keep track of each job making sure all pages in personalised booklet do not lose a sheet because of press paper change or jams, and similarly with finishing equipment.
Impostrip Barcode is claimed to allow users to create barcode marks that can be placed in Impostrip as any other marks.
All of the barcode marks will be available in the Marks Palette and applied to templates and signature or sheet.
Available in two versions, one for sheet identification and one for a higher level of tracking, where each page or element can have an individual barcode, Impostrip Barcode is said to be important for web-to-print and personalised marketing, where projects are mixed and matched together for sheet optimisation.
The company added that Impostrip Barcode allows users to define Impostrip variables, such as signature number, colour, job comment and job name, for instance, as well as custom variables.
Variables values are calculated at printing time and converted to a barcode, which will be printed at the output in the position defined in an Impostrip template.
Marks can be applied to paper anchor points, or pages with the precision need.
The system's mark adjuster will be used to adjust the position of the barcode marks, as it is for other marks.
Barcode marks will be printed with the following output formats: PS, PDF, JDF, PJTF and Mockup.
Impostrip Barcode is a plug-in to all of the Impostrip products.
It will be shown first with Impostrip Ondemand Digital.
Impostrip Barcode is a Windows product and later a Mac version will be released.
The processing and printing of barcodes is supported in all of Impostrip's automation features, such as hot folders and dynamic templates.
Users will be able to automate their workflows using barcodes with Ddynamic templates eliminating the need for hands on barcode positioning, said Ultimate Technographics.
Jobs of various trim page size and various lengths can be imposed with barcodes using the same hot folder.
Ultimate Technographics said it offers integration services to digital print customers that require linking Ultimate's automation systems to their web-to-print, data bases and management information systems.
The company added that it uses simple to integrate XML interfaces, JDF and dynamic hot folders to create completely automated print systems for digital printers from job submission through to printing.
