The Future of Automated e-Commerce--Harry Waldman

The icon automatically starts a procedure that flight checks the job. If the job passes flight check, it is automatically sent to the printer's server by FTP. The quote, which is now a job ticket, is sent to a production control computer. Of course, a copy of the job number stays with the job at all times for identification. The job is RIPed and trapped automatically, and is sent to a digital press to be printed. All almost untouched by human hands in a fraction of today's time, at a fraction of today's cost.
