1. Cloud technology is not a brand new technology
Some people regard cloud technology as a new technology that creates a new future. I can agree if it can create the future, but the cloud uses powerful hosts for information collection, calculation, storage and transmission. This was 30 or 40 years ago. In the era of high prices and low-end, the host spent tens of millions of yuan, hundreds of millions of yuan, and a unit can only use ten or twenty terminal operations, save data and search and download according to permissions, and The terminal has very little computing and storage space.
After 1985, personalized microcomputers emerged. It took personalized work space and capacity. Therefore, the computing power of PC personal computers has been strengthened, making the transmission capacity of the network unable to keep up, and the storage space has grown significantly. The utilization rate of the entire computer is on the low side. Operators have been waiting for computer calculations 20 years ago. Today, even the strongest operators, the computer CPU calculation utilization rate is less than 5%, and most of the time is idle. In the future, the computer with the fastest calculation ability only pushes the CPU calculation utilization rate to a complete waste mode of 1% and 0.1%, which is extremely limited for improving work efficiency. It is unrealistic to want to use the expensive and large bandwidth T1 and T3 lines between the human brain and the personal computer to connect them. Therefore, twenty years after the rise of the personal computer, people want to return to the previous master-slave architecture. PC personal computers eliminate or leave only one cloud terminal, or simply use very low-cost terminals and cloud technology to connect to the cloud, and even use wireless Internet connection, so Jobs designed the ipad There is no need to store a lot of memory, USB and many external slots. In the future, iCloud (iCloud) will be used as the host server. In this way, everyone may agree that the master-slave architecture in the cloud is nothing new.
However, in the future, thousands of tens of thousands of calculus computers of the cloud technology will be aggregated together, and their calculus capacity is tens of thousands of times 20 years ago. In addition to the development of software, it used to be a day ’s calculation. Even if it is finished, and multiple CPUs are looking for work that must be calculated and support each other. The access capacity and capacity of hard disks or other storage spaces and flash memory are not comparable to that of a personal computer PC, so it is possible to change the entire world in the future. In the way of information use and transmission, the printing industry is no exception, not only using a large number of image files and text, vector page information, so it is a natural thing to change from using PC to cloud-based computing and storage.
2. How does the printing industry use cloud technology?
Printing is a plane information reproduction industry. There are three main contents in the printed matter, one is text, the other is image, and the third is graphic file. When the pre-printing operation in 1985 moved to the DTP desktop version system, the text was written in words Code files exist, images exist as dot matrix files, graphics files or font files exist as vector files, and point-to-point architecture exists. Because the commands of the three and page combinations all go under the digital file, the printing industry has put pre-press operations It is simplistic to use only four CTP photosensitive (hot) plates to record the full page of printing. This was unprecedented convenience and simplicity in the past, and because the printing of all three contents was digitized, the printing industry only Eligible to apply cloud technology.
How does the printing industry use cloud technology? The first is the collection of page materials. At present, the online printing industry is one of the largest users of receiving files in the printing and many industries. The number of artifacts per day, and three or four thousand customers at the same time have to pass in the files. It is commonplace to receive such a large amount of information. It is very convenient to construct a server to receive on the cloud, and there is no need to worry about a lot of information at the same time. At the same time, there is a sudden amount of information. If the network combination company is enough on the network, there is generally printing. The company must also be enough. As for the future of variable-print unprinted printing, the amount of file transmission is much larger than the current general printing and combined edition, which is also a great development potential of cloud technology.
To do page editing combination on the cloud, first of all, you can store a large number of page composition materials, such as text, images, etc., then the editor does not have to spend time to download these huge amounts of page materials, as long as the terminal is opened to command wirelessly with small bandwidth The editing tool on the cloud, complete the page on the cloud under the cloud calculation, if a lot of work can be ten people, one hundred people work on the cloud together, because the computing space, OS system, page software, font library, etc. are rented , More work, more rent, let more people go to the cloud to work, no work is returned to all manufacturers, maintain good production flexibility, only see the page effect on the terminal, the real files are all stored in the cloud storage space, how much rent how much How much does it cost? You do n’t need to buy memory yourself, so cloud technology has the advantages of high efficiency, low cost, and no software and hardware depreciation.
At the end of print output, you need to download print files from the cloud. You may download files from several gigabits to thousands of gigabytes. According to the current transmission rate of only 20Mb per second, it can be as little as ten minutes or more. It takes only hours to complete the transmission. Not only is the work efficiency poor, but it is often impossible to make a business. Therefore, the use of optical fiber communication to the home can solve such transmission needs. The output of a large number of pages, that is, to go to the cloud to combine the layout, still do not need broadband Internet access or wireless Internet access in the operation, but to use the large files on the cloud, in the enterprise cloud or printing cloud or even cross-cloud transmission, basically no problem Therefore, it is necessary to use CTP plate printing, to inkjet, electronic imaging plateless printing, the download of high-efficiency files will be a necessary and expensive investment, otherwise it will not be a big deal.
3. What benefits will cloud technology bring?
First of all, there is no need to purchase a lot of computer hardware. It is a pity not only to depreciate it on weekdays. When it is used in large quantities, it is necessary to buy dozens of more sets of software and hardware. Today, software is often more expensive than hardware, and it costs a lot to update the version. If you rent the hardware, first of all, the computer hardware with a large system architecture is only 20 ~ 30%. Not only is the cost low, but the cloud computing can be greatly transferred to the available units, so the CPU calculation efficiency is several times to more than one hundred Double efficiency is not a situation where the average personal computer has more empty time and lower cost efficiency. Therefore, the use fee of software and hardware has been greatly reduced. Also in storage, the unit cost of capacity has also been reduced by a large amount, and when using plateless printing for the printing industry, it must be spread first and then printed, changing the current opportunity of printing first and then transmitting. This is a very important transformation of the printing industry. An important tool that takes advantage of the massive storage and transmission effects of cloud technology. At the same time, under the massive concentration of cloud technology, information security and management may be more secure than personal computer security.
4. CMS color management requirements for printout in different places
If you want to use cloud technology, you want to get the same color reproduction in two places, or even in dozens of different places. Using the same color management tool, according to different local equipment and materials to do ICC Profile characterization reproduction file is a feasible method, so under the cloud technology, the premise of doing decentralized printing, an effective CMS color management mechanism is an absolute necessity The conditions of the color, so it is necessary to reflect the consistent color reproduction of the CMS color control guide, the name and data of the reproduction tool on the cloud.
