Make-Ready

Printgroove JT Man 5

Printgroove JT Man 5 is Konica Minolta’s software solution for Make-Ready and professional print workflow automa-tion. It is optimised for use in CRDs and in-house printshops of public organisations, universities and corporations, and provides essential functionality to minimise costs and maximise return on investment.

ESSENTIAL TOOL TOOPTIMISE PRINT PROCESSING

Using a job-ticket based print workflow, Printgroove JT Man 5 provides customers with a tool for the easy and convenient ordering of print products. Print providers can route print jobs via the intranet directly from the source application to the printshop. There they can choose from a wide range of intelligent print functions to administrate all incoming jobs. Powerful Make-Ready functionality is included for professional job editing.

Printgroove JT Man 5 gives print providers and CRD managers an efficient templates feature. Operators only need to set up templates once and make great time savings on repetitive pre-press work forever after. Late job editing enhances the flexibility of the printroom, while the colour split functionality makes producing mixed colour and b/w jobs considerably more economic.

KEY FEATURES General

– Dashboard: The newly integrated dashboard helps keep track of orders and outstanding tasks. The calendar shows the orders by delivery date, order date, or print volume. An overview of recent and new orders as well as orders in progress is also provided.

– PDF workflow: This provides enhanced processing speeds compared with previous JT Man versions, which were based on DPML.

– MIS/ERP integration: Print data can be exported from the application to MIS and ERP systems via a CSV file.

– Status tracking: Informing customers that their order has arrived and advising them of the print job status is easy. Operators simply choose from a list of work steps and corresponding status types that they want to work with. All they need to do is create a suitable e-mail message for each one. The messages are then gener-ated and sent to customers automatically.

Templates – Configuration editor: The settings of printers, media,

products and services can all be changed in a single window.

Colour split

– JT Color Split (optional): This module helps avoid colour printing where it is not essential. The operator can check how many and which pages of the incoming print job contain colour and can change those elements to black & white where colour is not essential. The option also allows the printing of only the coloured pages of a document on a colour printer and the black & white pages of the same document on a b/w printer. After printing is completed, JT Color Split makes sure that the pages are collated in the correct order. This procedure can significantly reduce printing costs.

Job editing

– Job editor: This provides a convenient tool to adjust paper size and weight; change jobs from colour to black & white and vice versa; change the finishing mode; add or delete tab sheets, slip sheets or empty pages, and much more.

– Real-time preview: Operators can switch instantly between three different kinds of previews (page preview, sheet preview and list view), and can make modifica-tions regardless of the selected view.

Additional Printgroove JT Man 5 modules

JT Color Split Can significantly reduce printing costs by changing colour pages to black & white output, or by separating mixed jobs and only printing relevant pages on a colour device.

JT Accounting Connector Integrates card payment systems (cash cards, prepaid cards, bonus systems) into any printing business. For instance, provides the combination of Printgroove JT Man 5 with the external Pcounter (Control System) or SafeQ (Ysoft) accounting applications.

JT Hot FolderAutomates the transmission of print files to the Printgroove JT Man Server, improving speeds and flow of recurring print jobs. PostScript or PDF files are saved in the JT Hot Folder, linked with the stored print settings and printed accordingly.

JT Terminal Server Transmits print jobs to the central printshop via a terminal server; perfect tool to integrate Printgroove JT Man 5 into the terminal server environment of an enterprise.
