What is PPP?
Elan GMK Precise Page Positioning (PPP) is a desktop application use in document management, printing and book production to automate page positioning negating the need to manually clean up scanned images before submitting them to the printing or PDF conversion process.
Who uses PPP?
Whilst digital printing is of course dominating the industry now there are organisations who have a requirement to reproduce existing paper books with total accuracy.
PPP is used in document management, printing and book production for the high quality reproduction of existing paper books.
Why PPP?
01
Easy to integrate
PPP integrates easily into workflow, and is used as a tool between the scanner and impositioning software. PPP can be integrated into other Elan GMK solutions, where it serves as an external, high performance image processor or as a plug-in to add advanced image processing capabilities.
02
Cost Effective
PPP processes large volumes of raster files, and creates clean images for print-on-demand applications, document management systems and PDF publishing systems. The image processing process provided by PPP is highly automated reducing the need for manual intervention and contributes to cost reduction.
03
Quality Control
PPP is used to position scanned images on an imaginary plate or canvas with a very high degree of accuracy and reliability. A wide array of inspection and editing options give you absolute control over the margin registration process. This makes PPP particularly useful as a quality control tool.
