Abstract: A printing system includes a printing station; a finishing line controller for controlling operation of one or more finishing devices arrangeable in-line with the printing station and a first communication link between the printing station and the controller for communicating job commands from the printing station to the finishing line controller to be translated into finishing action commands by the finishing line controller and communicated to said one or more finishing devices.

Abstract: Various systems, methods, and computer programs embodied in a computer-readable medium for print fulfillment in a print facility having a central print orchestrator and a plurality of print sub-processes, where each print sub-process implements a partial print fulfillment of a print job. In this respect, a job ticket that describes the characteristics of a finished document is modified to include a print process workflow and print sub-process workflows. The print processor workflow directs the routing of the job ticket to print sub-processes and the print sub-process workflows direct a partial print fulfillment of the finished document in a print sub-process.
