Workflow Documentation

Data Environment
Delimited data from customer database

Supplemental Data
None.

Web Integration
Data can come from any source, no additional processing needed. Web enablement doesn't seem practical for this application.

Data Conditioning
When applicable, Quark static portions of the design were saved as an EPS and used as a background image.

Quark File Conditioning
No Quark files used we designed the application using Proform Designer's layout tools and the EPS file provided for the logo.

Asset Library
VIPP Project folder or VIPP Project Container

Coding
The background design, created in Quark, is imported as an EPS image background. GUI based logic wizards in Proform Designer allow all business logic to be created.

Lytrod's formula builder allowed for advanced calculations without altering the original data. The format function in Lytrod's Proform Designer allowed VIPP monetary values from raw numbers.

Lytrod's Proform Designer creates VIPP code and resources and the document is ultimately composed and assembled at the VIPP enabled engine from the raw data.

RIP and Print Process
The VIPP enabled engine does the composition, imposition, RIP and print process.

Provided is a VIPP Project Container, JOB18.VPC, the VPC file contains all of the files including a job submission file. The VPC can be launched using the VIPP Project Manager or on supported DFEs.

Since not all DFEs support Project Containers, a VIPP Project Folder, JOB18, is also provided. The project folder contains all files, including the data file, needed to run the application. Simply copy the JOB18 folder and its contents to the XGFC/Projects folder on the VIPP enabled engine.

The production print stream is the data file, in this case auto_kit.csv, which contains the VIPP job ticket and database data. In a production print environment, the data file would be sent to the VIPP enabled printer via LPR (this can be done via Lytrod's Proform Designer or via any standard LPR demon). For demonstration, you may simply open the project folder and "print" the data file: auto_kit.csv.

It is important to note that Lytrod supports VIPP image caching which dramatically improves job processing, as the variable images are ripped only once for the entire job.

Scalability
Unlimited. This is the advantage of the dynamic document construction method used by VIPP. The document is composed at the RIP in real time, as the data is sent to the printer.

Turnaround Time
3 Hours.

Overall Caveats and Considerations
None.
