Product Overview Veripress is used to accurately softproof post-‐RIP data on a calibrated monitor, replacing hardcopy proofs in the print production process. Veripress runs in a Server and Client configuration. The Server runs on a network computer and is protected by a USB dongle. The dongle licenses the level of software and the input filters and output drivers purchased. The Client is used as the configuration tool and monitoring application for the Server. It can be run on the same machine, or on another locally (LAN) or remotely (WAN) networked computer. The Client connects to the Server via standard TCP/IP network protocol and is not licensed, so it can be run multiple times on the network. Veripress has an input filter for most of the major manufacturers proprietary RIPs. The input filters read the native RIP format and understand how jobs are assembled, the plates associated with a job and the directory structure. RIPs that include databases and impositions are also read and understood. Jobs are proofed using the same post-‐RIP data that goes to the press, thus maintaining data integrity and accuracy of the proofs. Files are ripped once by the proprietary RIP and output as many times as desired. The jobs reside on the RIP, are monitored by the Veripress Server and are displayed by the Client in the RIPMonitor, with all associated plates stitched together. The files can be selected and submitted for processing by the Server as desired, or can be configured to process automatically. At the processing point, jobs are copied (spooled) over from the RIP to the Server, leaving the original untouched. Once the whole job is spooled, the Server begins to work on the files. Imaging is the first process to take place. Imaging interprets the file format, completes any imposition assembling required (for supported imposition RIPs) or any merging of CT/LW files, preserves any screening on the files and samples the jobs resolution to change it to that of the output format configured. An intermediate file format is created at this point, called the Imaged File. The Imaged File can be viewed using the SoftProof utility. The file format maintains all the plates associated with the job and is viewed at the full output resolution. The Imaged File can also be re-submitted at any time for processing to the same or a different output. There is no need to spool and interpret the job again. * Many Veripress workflows will primarily use these imaged files for proofing. After the imaging process has completed, the job is passed to the rendering engine. This takes the Imaged File and creates the file ready for output. The process includes applying any output characteristics such as orientation, cropping, colour management (ICC Profiles) and creation of the output file. The Imaged File can be rendered as many times as desired. Each time, any of the output characteristics can be changed prior to rendering. Once the job is rendered, it is saved internally as a Serendipity Blackmagic Image file and can be forwarded to a remote location for viewing. The Client monitors the whole process from start to finish, showing a jobs progress in a QueueManager and QueueStatus window. Jobs can be managed separately by placing a job on hold, releasing a job, cancelling or promoting as desired. The processes (queues) can be paused at any time, holding all jobs from spooling, imaging & rendering. If a job fails, the error can be examined, rectified and the job retried. There are logs reporting all Server and Client functionality and job information from first detection on the RIP to final output. The logs can be searched, filtered or saved to a file. Jobs in the QueueManager can be loaded and proofed in a press room environment to a calibrated monitor; controlled using an attached touch screen. The system creates a database of all configurations, calibration curves and other settings. This database can be backed-up on demand or automatically, so a working copy is always available. It can be copied to any other Veripress as a whole database or as individual items. *This applies to any output characteristics. If any changes are required for the Imaged File, e.g., changing plates, resolution etc, the file will need to be re-‐submitted from the RIPMonitor.
