"Trafik's Four Core Elements"

Trafik's extreme scalability gives it huge advantages over previous generation technology. Modules can be combined in any number at any location, on any number of computers, yet remain seamlessly integrated.


Client Editor (CE)


The CE module is the print layout and positioning tool

The CE module launches automatically and initiates print jobs when the "Print" option is selected in any application. Job- defining functionality provides interactive on- screen proofing and editing (crop marks, copies, page ranges, in- job nesting), colour options (brightness, saturation), template application, tiling, and more. Alternatively, the CE's editing capabilities can be limited to suit less experienced users. Once a Job definition is complete, a comprehensive job ticket including optional costing and finishing information is attached to the file which is zipped automatically and transferred to the ADMIN SPOOLER for processing. - handles print management set- up and control


Admin Client (AC)
The AC module is the flexible workflow control module for the Trafik system

The AC module of Trafik manages individual tasks and the print workflow. It provides the interface to Trafik's sophisticated colour and output- device management features, which include Calibration, Media Management, Job Accounting, Multiple Printer Management, System Security and Feature Key unlocking.


Admin Spooler (AS)

The AS module is the "engine" in the system that provides power at the point of print

The AS module applies the management parameters set by the ADMIN CLIENT to the print jobs submitted by the CLIENT EDITOR. Where Trafik modules are running on multiple computers the AS with its in- built web server is capable of publishing itself on a network, whether LAN or INTERNET, where it acts as the communication hub for the whole system. The AS also applies the Security Management by checking access privileges for CLIENTS and their jobs. It handles the print queues, manages load, job and media sharing between multiple printers, monitors job requests and output device set ups to match ink/ media combinations and optimally holds or releases jobs. It also reports job status to CLIENTS, archives and ultimately launches the RIP SERVICE.


RIP Service (RS)

The RS module rips the print- job.

It is where the actual colour correction, screening and PostScript interpretation takes place. Each output device driven by Trafik has its own dedicated RS.
