The intelligent door to the new digital world of printing.

JTMan is a print room software suite that allows users to electronically submit jobs from their own computer using a job ticket. For the print room operator, it also provides a job manager that allows them to centrally manage incoming jobs and even build complex jobs like booklets on their PC. It is ideally used for Universities, Councils, law firms, or any organisation that has an in-house print room.

Countless different applications are currently used for creating PC documents for the in-house print shop, the offset printers or the copy shop. As far as this,work processes normally function smoothly. But if the document, that now consists of completely different file formats, is to be printed a real problem arises: the data created is no longer correct, graphic files are simply not printed out. In brief: the elaborate document can only be partly printed, if at all. But there is a more intelligent, easier way to do this irrespective of applications: with and the digital printing systems from Konica Minolta.

The time and material-consuming pre-press phase for traditional offset printing is eliminated in digital printing. Using -, the data is compiled directly on the computer. Processing is quite simple. The self-explanatory menu and the well-ordered design of the documents make it child’s play to process even complex printing jobs. These, of course, include impositioning, creating chapter divisions, “cut & marry”, professional booklets, automatic creation of a uniform type area for front and back cover plus lots of other professional functions. And has yet another intelligent feature for up-to-date inhouse printers: the job ticket, a form with which each member of staff can send his individual order for a print product to the CRD. Here, too, it makes no difference in which application the document was created. Set up as a PDF, EPS or PostScript file, jtman opens the door for the print-room manager to simple processing and programming with the Konica Minolta Document Production Systems.

With their speed, the variety of trays for different types of paper, their direct duplexing technology and versatile finishing options, these systems offer the ideal basis for perfect prints. Open the door to the new digital printing world for your company with and Konica Minolta Document Production Systems.
