CIPS--Calculating Costs, Customizing Output

Mostly, CIP3 files are sent to the press stations over a network. BARCO Graphics' server architecture supports this kind of access. The press vendor's software then works on a Windows NT PC within the same network as the BARCO server. CIP3 files are left on the server and made visible to the PC in the network. The press vendor's software then converts the data to internal ink key data.
