Job Ticketing in the Electronic Age

Cloning Previous Tickets
And here's one last virtual printing trend (well, trend-turned-reality): cloning.

Cloning is "the ability to create a new job ticket from a prior job ticket," explains Doby. "For repeat work, as found in the insert, magazine, label and carton industries, the user can clone the jacket from the prior job and change only what is needed. Production errors or other considerations learned during the last run and stored in the job ticket can be carried forward to the next job. Version control is maintained to keep track of revisions due to change orders."
