A method for producing normalized (or “washed”) graphic image files that have a consistent file structure, the graphic image files thereafter being used to produce a consistent print ready file structure. A source, or unprocessed, image file is first converted into a vector-based medium file and stored. This vector-based medium includes a PDF file format, with the conversion routine using Adobe Distiller for producing PDF files. The vector-based medium file is thereafter retrieved and converted into a consistently structured file, which can be used by a variety of applications associated with a printing process. The consistent structure file includes PostScript, and in particular ASCII Level 1 PostScript. The washing routine is intended to be performed as an Prepress operation to creating the overlying print ready file, and can be automated as needed. This Prepress operation can run on a farm service and managed by a master farm server.
