Abstract
A method for generating printing data on the basis of which a disk label is creatable includes the steps of a) generating graphic data representing said disk label at a graphic data generating location (2 to 5), b) transforming said graphic data into said printing data at a printing data generating location (2 to 5), wherein said graphic data generating location (2 to 5) and said printing data generating location (2 to 5) are parts of a communication network (6), respectively, wherein steps a) and b) are controlled by a network capable client (3 to 5) being part of said communication network (6).
Claims26
Method for generating printing data on the basis of which a disk label is creatable, wherein
- a) graphic data representing said disk label is generated at a graphic data generating location (2 to 5),
- b) said graphic data is transformed into said printing data at a printing data generating location (2 to 5), characterized in that said graphic data generating location (2 to 5) and said printing data generating location (2 to 5) are parts of a communication network (6), respectively, wherein steps a) and b) are controlled by a network capable client (3 to 5) being part of said communication network.
Method according to anyone of the preceding claims, characterized in that said graphic data is visualized to a client's user on a low dpi value basis, whereas said printing data is generated so as to have a high dpi value.
Method according to anyone of the preceding claims, characterized in that said printing data is adapted to different printing units by respective printing data conversion processes which convert said printing data from a first printing data format to a second printing data format, respectively.
Method according to anyone of the preceding claims, characterized in that said printing data comprises postscript data or picture data of other picture formats.
Method according to anyone of the preceding claims, characterized in that said printing data comprises CMYK-color-model-data.
Method according to anyone of the preceding claims, characterized in that all steps intending to generate graphic data which can not be assigned to predefined CD-label printing areas are blocked during step a).
Network capable client (3 to 5) having means for locally and/or remotely controlling/performing all processes needed for generating printing data on the basis of which a disk label is creatable.
Network capable server (2) offering functionality directly usable by a remote client on said server (2) and/or installable on said remote client (3 to 5) in order to be remotely used, characterized in that said functionality is adapted to locally and/or remotely controlling/performing all processes needed for generating printing data on the basis of which a disk label is creatable.
