Abstract: Provided is an industrial printing system for peer-to-peer grouping of production prints. The industrial printing system performs production printing with a plurality of servers that perform distributed processing of jobs. Each of the plurality of print servers includes a condition setting unit, a condition sharing unit, a job acquiring unit, and a job processing unit. The condition setting unit sets a grouping condition for grouping the jobs. The condition sharing unit shares the grouping condition set by the condition setting unit with other print server. The job acquiring unit acquires a plurality of jobs that meets the grouping condition from the other print server. The job processing unit groups and processes the plurality of jobs acquired by the job acquiring unit.

Abstract: Provided is an image processing apparatus that enhances the distinctiveness of document having a color portion and outputs in monochrome. A monochrome visual determination unit determines whether or not the distinctiveness of the color portion is low when the document data having the color portion is output in monochrome. This color portion includes characters, electronic marks, and graphs, and they are after a specific keyword. A monochrome presentation unit presents to a user a warning or a result of modification when there is the color portion that the distinctiveness is determined to be low by the monochrome visual determination unit. The monochrome presentation unit presents a state in which the document data is output in monochrome by displaying a preview.

Abstract: Provided is an industrial printing system that enables output with the attribute of a printing apparatus at the distributed destination of production printing in a peer-to-peer manner. An attribute acquisition unit acquires other attribute information supported by other printing apparatus at distributed destination. A table generation unit compares acquired other attribute information with own attribute information supported by own printing apparatus to generate a conversion table that is set with a conversion rule for a mismatched attribute. A processing management unit sends the job to the other print server to request for processing based on generated conversion table so that the job is to be printed by the other printing apparatuses.

Abstract: Provided is an industrial printing system that efficiently manages distributed processing of production printing on a peer-to-peer basis. Industrial printing systems perform production printing and include multiple print servers. A plurality of print servers performs distributed processing of jobs. The storage unit stores capability information indicating capabilities that can be processed in rasterizing process, printing processing, and post-processing. The processing determination unit checks job processing requirement based on the capability information stored in the storage unit, and it determines a combination of any of a plurality of print servers, printing apparatuses, and post-processing apparatuses capable of processing the job. The processing management unit transmits a job to each apparatus and requests processing according to the combination determined to be processable by the processing determination unit.

Abstract: Provided is an industrial printing system that reprints from an archive of production prints. Industrial printing systems include a plurality of print servers that perform production printing. Any of the print servers includes an archive job generation unit and a reprint unit. The archive job generation unit generates a print job to archive including a content job that is a job for each print component. The reprint unit transmits the content job included in the print job generated by the archive job generation unit to the other print server for reprinting. The content job includes a storage location, which may be in the other print server where the rasterized file in which the printed component was rasterized is stored, and a job ticket for the content job.

Abstract: Provided is an industrial printing system that performs peer-to-peer distributed processing of production printing. The industrial printing system performs production printing and includes a plurality of site servers. A plurality of site servers performs distributed processing of print jobs. Each site server has a storage unit, a processing determination unit, and a processing management unit. The storage unit stores a capacity table showing the capacity that can be processed in the print process and the post-processing process. The processing determination unit determines other site servers that can process jobs from a plurality of site servers based on the capacity table stored in the storage unit. The processing management unit sets a schedule for processing jobs by other site servers determined to be processable by the processing determination unit and sends jobs to other site servers to request processing according to the schedule settings.

Abstract: Provided is an industrial printing system that reduces the risk of delay due to proofreading in variable printing. This industrial printing system processes variable data for production printing. The status management unit manages the completion status of a plurality of records or a plurality of pages for the variable printing. A process control unit collectively acquires completed record(s) or completed page(s) managed by the status management unit and creates a job ticket. A process management unit performs a prepress process or a printing process by using a job ticket created by the process control unit. A post-processing unit performs post-processing according to the job ticket for a record or a page that has been performed prepress process or printing process by the process management unit.

Abstract: Provided is a peer-to-peer industrial printing system that performs distributed processing in variable printing for production printing. The industrial printing system includes a plurality of print servers and performs variable printing for production printing. Each of the plurality of print servers has a variable attribute generation unit, a variable distribution unit, and a processing management unit. The variable attribute generation unit generates variable attribute information including record information, which is information about each record of variable data for the variable printing. The variable distribution unit distributes each record of the variable data to one of the plurality of print servers based on the variable attribute information generated by the variable attribute generation unit. The processing management unit transmits the job ticket including the record distributed by the variable distribution unit to the other print server that is distributed to request processing.
