Blending the Old With the New
TransPromo technology is smart. The output to drive color printers is often not the output produced for existing printers. Issues such as this have provided the rationale for the development of "downstream" TransPromo-enabling technology.
In downstream implementation, the output from document composition remains the same as today and the printstream is intercepted and engineered prior to actual printing. In the printstream engineering process, the printstream is ripped, key information mined and decisions made based upon user-defined business rules. Next, digital assets (copy) are integrated and the printstream is reassembled in the desired PDL. The information mined can be in the form of records, tagged logical elements or, most significantly, the actual content on the document itself.
