La chance est au rendez-vous avec la 13e version du RIP Harlequin

Le RIP le plus rapide du secteur ajoute de nouvelles fonctionnalités pour les impressions à grande échelle telles que la décoration, les textiles et l’emballage ondulé

De nouvelles fonctionnalités innovantes, notamment la gestion en mosaïque automatique pour le traitement des sorties à grande échelle à grande vitesse, ainsi que des AIS étendus pour une qualité d’image améliorée, sont intégrées aujourd’hui à une nouvelle version majeure de Harlequin RIP® aujourd’hui par les développeurs Global Graphics Software.  Harlequin Host Renderer 13 franchit un nouveau palier en termes de fonctionnalités de productivité pour les prestataires de services d’impression, et offre de nouvelles options aux fabricants de presses pour la mise à l’échelle de plusieurs RIP, pour des systèmes frontaux numériques hautes performances.

La 13e version du Harlequin Host Renderer, le RIP le plus rapide du secteur de l’impression, ajoute une mosaïque automatique pour maximiser le débit de fichiers PDF, TIFF et JPEG volumineux, notamment ceux générés sur les marchés de l’emballage ondulé, du grand format, de la décoration et du textile. Harlequin 13 divise automatiquement ces grandes pages, dont certaines peuvent mesurer jusqu’à 200 mètres de long, afin de les répartir sur plusieurs RIP pour une vitesse accrue et un meilleur équilibrage de charge.

La sortie étant transmise en continu à l’imprimante, les prestataires de services d’impression n’ont pas besoin d’attendre que la page entière soit traitée par le RIP avant de commencer l’impression. Cette nouvelle fonctionnalité limites les besoins en RAM et les coûts associés au traitement numérique frontal (DFE) de très grandes sorties.

« La nouvelle fonctionnalité de mosaïque est spécifiquement destinée à l’impression numérique à grande vitesse », déclare Martin Bailey, Directeur technique de Global Graphics Software. La mosaïque automatique permet d’optimiser le débit en répartissant la sortie sur plusieurs RIP. Elle réduit également le coût d’un DFE conçu pour traiter de très grandes pages PDF, que ce soit quotidiennement ou occasionnellement, car l’utilisation maximale de la mémoire pour un pavé peut être beaucoup plus faible que celle pour toute la page.

« La vitesse demeure l’une des priorités principales du développement de Harlequin. Un RIP plus rapide permet en effet de faire fonctionner au régime moteur des presses à débits de données très élevés, et de réduire la nomenclature pour un DFE (Digital Front End) ou un contrôleur. »

Cette 13e version présente également de nombreuses autres fonctionnalités, notamment :

  • Impression directe de fichiers PNG, un type de fichier important dans certains secteurs de grand format et de décoration de produits, en plus des fichiers PDF, PostScript, EPS, TIFF, JPEG, etc. Une gestion des couleurs et un tramage demi-ton homogènes peuvent être ajoutés pour tous les formats d’entrée, à l’aide d’une API commune.
  • Amélioration des contrôles sur le dimensionnement de la sortie à partir de formats de fichier image tels que TIFF, JPEG et PNG sans précision de taille.
  • AIS (Advanced Inkjet Screens) étendus avec l’intégration d’Opal ; particulièrement utile pour atténuer les artefacts lors de l’impression jet d’encre sur des supports absorbants à des résolutions supérieures. Les AIS améliorent la qualité perçue (et donc la valeur marchande) des impressions jet d’encre et peut permettre l’utilisation de supports moins coûteux.
  • Prise en charge étendue des DFE plus importants. Mise à niveau d’une instance RIP unique (via plusieurs RIP sur le même serveur) vers plusieurs RIP sur chacun des serveurs multiples.

Le Harlequin Host Renderer (HHR) est fourni en tant que composant ou préintégré avec un pipeline de traitement parallèle sous le nom de Harlequin Direct. L’objectif : permettre aux OEM d’atteindre le délai de commercialisation le plus court possible et de générer des revenus tout en construisant un DFE de haute qualité et hautement sophistiqué pour une presse numérique haute vitesse.

Ce moteur d’impression est la pièce maîtresse des presses numériques les plus performantes du secteur, dans des produits de fournisseurs tels que Roland DG, Durst, HP Indigo et HP PageWide.

Comme l’explique Michael Deflorian, responsable du développement commercial chez Durst Professional Services : « HHR (y compris les capacités de tramage, est l’une des technologies clés sur lesquelles nous nous appuyons pour exploiter au maximum les imprimantes dans le cadre de notre stratégie “pixel-to-output”. Global Graphics et nous-mêmes partageons la même vision de la qualité et des performances de pointe. Nous collaborons étroitement avec l’équipe Global Graphics pour fournir à nos clients la meilleure technologie disponible. »

Le logiciel RIP VersaWorks 6 de Roland DG est utilisé sur tous les modèles actuels de ses imprimantes et ses imprimantes/découpeuses. M. Motohiro Ikemura, Directeur général de la R&D, Roland DG Digital Printing Business Division, a déclaré : « Nous avons intégré le moteur Harlequin à notre logiciel RIP en seulement 6 mois, grâce à la coopération entre Global Graphics et nos équipes d’ingénierie. Ses performances sont exceptionnelles et, comme il traite les fichiers PDF et PostScript en natif, il gère les fichiers en toute simplicité. La prise en charge du PDF 2.0 a également été un facteur important pour pérenniser notre workflow », explique Motohiro. « Étant donné l’utilisation croissante des transparents dans les travaux des clients, Harlequin a la capacité de traiter les transparents en natif, ce qui accélère la production et réduit les déchets de supports. VersaWorks 6 a récemment ajouté une nouvelle fonction importante “Job Assistant” qui permet aux clients d’ajouter automatiquement des lignes de contour coupées pour les données de conception PDF, sans revenir au logiciel de conception.

« Harlequin Host Renderer alimente notre RIP CLOUDFLOW depuis plus de 5 ans », explique Nick De Roeck, Directeur technique de Hybrid Software.  « L’impression hybride se concentre clairement sur le marché de l’emballage et des étiquettes, aussi bien pour l’impression numérique que pour l’impression traditionnelle. HHR nous a donné la possibilité d’ajouter notre savoir-faire en matière d’emballage à un produit HHR extrêmement efficace. Je suis très enthousiaste quant à l’innovation continue du produit. Nos clients tireront un avantage considérable de cette 13e version, car elle permet d’appliquer le RIP encore plus rapidement aux fichiers d’emballage, tout en réduisant la quantité de ressources matérielles requises. » HYBRID ajoutera cette 13e version à CLOUDFLOW 20.10.

« La plate-forme Harlequin RIP a été utilisée dans Elan depuis sa sortie initiale », souligne Richard Lee, PDG de Delphax Solutions. « Elle a été sélectionnée principalement en raison de sa qualité et de ses performances. Depuis, le RIP a augmenté ses performances et ses fonctionnalités, ce qui a permis de réduire les coûts matériels associés requis pour exploiter nos périphériques hautes performances. Associée à l’assistance de l’ensemble de l’équipe de Global Graphics, elle a facilement justifié la décision d’intégrer la plate-forme Harlequin, mais également l’équipe Global Graphics, à notre gamme de presses de production numérique à jet d’encre haute vitesse, aujourd’hui comme à l’avenir. »

Harlequin Host Renderer est pris en charge sur Microsoft Windows 32 et 64 bits, Linux 64 bits et Mac OS.

Global Graphics powers Miyakoshi’s high-speed digital press

Japanese manufacturer looks to roll out Global Graphics’ technology across all digital presses.

Global Graphics® Software has licensed Fundamentals™ to Miyakoshi Printing Machinery Co. Ltd. to create a new software engine for the Miyakoshi MJP20AXW high-speed, high-resolution digital press for commercial and transactional applications. The new engine will be available in presses launched at the end of this year and Miyakoshi plans to adopt it across its entire digital fleet.

The Miyakoshi MJP20AXW is a four-color duplex press which will operate at 160 meters/min and 1200 dpi resolution. The new engine will be driven by Fundamentals which bundles together Harlequin® Direct from the new Direct™ graphics pipeline announced by Global Graphics in April this year with PACKZ and CLOUDFLOW from Global Graphics’ partner company, HYBRID Software. The result is a powerful pipeline that links together seamlessly all the processes in the print production workflow from job submission through to delivering data directly to the Miyakoshi printhead electronics.

Global Graphics’ Technical Services team is working alongside Miyakoshi engineers on the project.

Mako adds value to Racami transactional workflow

PDF files from multiple sources are “cleaned up” seamlessly before onward multi-channel processing.

 

Global Graphics Software has licensed its Mako™ SDK to Racami, the authors of the Alchem-e™ customer communications management platform (CMM). Mako converts incoming documents into PDF and optimizes these files for onward processing through multiple delivery channels such as email, web viewing, bill payment, and printing.

Alchem-e™ is widely used by the insurance, financial, healthcare, book publishing, and marketing sectors to support the mass production and distribution of customer communications.  Corporate clients are often looking to reduce operating costs, comply with government regulations, speed up printing times, and automate processes.

One of the challenges in the industry is standardizing the multitude of data and print streams that are commonly used. This is important because the variety of file formats and the inconsistency in how they are constructed causes work to slow down or be of poor quality. Data preparation slows down, printers slow down, jobs are constrained to specific workflows and equipment. Normalization is key to solving this problem and companies use Alchem-e™ with the embedded Global Graphics Mako technology to speed up processing, reduce file sizes, and produce higher quality output.

Matt Mahoney, executive VP of Sales and Marketing at Racami comments, “As companies mature with multi-channel communications for marketing and transaction processing, they benefit from clean optimized PDF files. We are extremely happy with our choice to work with Global Graphics. We embed their Mako technology into Alchem-e and offer it as a stand-alone PDF preflight tool. Global Graphics is one of the best companies we’ve worked with because they are so responsive.”

“It’s exciting to work with Racami because they regularly bring us new challenges,” says Global Graphics Software’s Paul Hagen, VP of sales. “We investigate these straightaway and because we give our customers access to the product manager their requests are quickly translated into an item for our roadmap.

“Mako is multi-functional like a Swiss army knife. Racami started off using one of the blades to transform incoming files into robust PDFs.  We’re pleased to see them using other facets of this very capable technology with PDF optimization. It’s an interesting application of our technology and we sense that they have a growing market presence and great brand awareness.”
