The full name of DTP is the abbreviation of Color Desktop Publishing System, Desktoppublishing, which is named because of its small size and can be placed on the desktop. I'll tell you that the fastest update of the novel is the eye. Hurry?

Historically, the color desktop publishing system is a new type of prepress processing equipment launched in the 90s, which is composed of two parts: desktop color separation and desktop electronic publishing.

Its advent fundamentally solves the defect that the electronic color separation machine has a weak function in processing text and cannot make a good combination of graphics and texts.

Joe. John. From Ling Shizhe's experience of teaching DTP face-to-face, Geshke has a strong hunch that Ling Shizhe seems to have the ambition to unify or establish a set of DTP standards.

Joe. John. Geshke did not guess wrong, Ling Shizhe does think so about the future of DTP, first-class enterprises build standards, second-rate enterprises rely on technology, third-rate enterprises make products, Ambrera company, as an international large group, how to establish a set of its own standards, in order to meet the status of international large companies.

However, the establishment of standards is not easy, limited by the hardware conditions of this era, Ling Shizhe knows too well what the DTP system of Ambrera Company is, compared with the standard DTP of later generations, the so-called color publishing system of Ambrera Company is just a thing that must have its own table, and it is a thing that cannot be simplified.

It only retains the most basic structure of DTP, and it can only print black and white pictures, and it is the simplest graphics and word processing, not to mention the complex graphics and color pictures in later generations, so if you want to make DTP the industry standard, Joe. John. There is still a lot of work to be done.

The color desktop publishing system is divided into three subsystems: output, processing and output from the overall structure. Each subsystem has a corresponding set of hardware and software.

1. The basic function of the DTP input device is to scan, separate colors and input the original into the system. In addition to the text input is the same as that of the computer typesetting system, the input of images can be carried out using a variety of equipment, such as scanners, electronic color separators, video cameras, plotters, and satellite ground receiving stations. Scanners are used the most. The software consists of the device driver software and the operating system of the PC.

2. DTP's processing equipment and processing equipment are collectively referred to as graphic workstations. The basic function is to process the original data entering the system, such as: color correction, revision, imposition and creative production. And add text, symbols, etc., to form a complete page of picture and text, and then transfer to the output device. The software consists of the image processing software Photoshop; graphics software coreldraw; typesetting software PageMaker; 3D image production software strate-studiopro and other components.

3. The output device of DTP, the output device is the equipment of the color desktop publishing system to generate the final product. It is mainly composed of two parts: a high-precision laser phototypesetting machine (also called a graphic recorder) and a RIP (raster image processor). At the same time, there are color printers, laser printers, direct plate making machines, plate processing machines, direct digital printing machines, etc. Software: RIP, driver software, font library.

Fourth, high-end networking. The color desktop publishing system is connected with various models of electronic color separators, which is called high-end networking, which is another way of working of the desktop system.

From the above simple descriptions, it is self-evident how complex DTP is, so Ling Shizhe decided to separate DTP and set up a separate company. It's called Umbrellaadobe. He is also responsible for all the software and hardware development, production and sales of DTP color desktop publishing system.

"The boss, who is the president of this new company?"

"Just you Joe. John. Gershke, while Ambrera Software's new president is led by John Brown. Brooklyn. Abel is here, you prepare, and you will hand over in a few days. In addition, you have to keep in mind that there are two categories of DTP, Apple produces printers and other DTP output devices, which are used in the commercial field, and enterprises use it only to print company documents and enterprise reports, and you engage in DTP hardware equipment. Its customers are mainly concentrated in publishing houses and printing houses, and they take DTP is used to print books, comics, posters, etc. Jim has to do a good job of dividing the work. ”

"Okay boss, I'll leave without anything else." Ling Shizhe waved his hand, Qiao. John. Geshke went out.

Over the next few days, Joe. John. Gershke frequently collaborated with John. Jim contacted to discuss how to formulate the relevant technical standards of each subsystem of DTP, and came up with a preliminary DTP standard plan after multi-round consultation.

This scheme is very similar to the mature DTP color desktop publishing system standard of the Republic that Ling Shizhe saw in his previous life, so he corrected a few mistakes. The color desktop publishing system standard, named Adobe DTP, was finalized.

The reason why the standards of the later Republic were selected instead of the standards of Adobe was that the DTP standard of the Republic had a simpler structure and was much lower than that of Adobe (less than half of Adobe). And whether it is printing quality or printing quality, it is not worse than Adobe, and the printing efficiency and accuracy are also higher than Adobe, which is a mature and reliable system.

Later generations of publishing houses that were not internationally renowned closed their own printing houses, and all book printing was handed over to domestic printing houses for OEM. Suffice it to say that this standard system is reliable and of high quality.

The time soon entered February, Li Li's belly was getting bigger and bigger, and various charity activities had already stopped, all of which were attended by her sister Li Qian. Li Li's pregnancy is a major event for the Ling family, and her mother Zhang Yuzhen came to Raccoon Town to take care of Li Li as early as November last year.

Li Li was pregnant for the first time, and there were a lot of Renchen reactions, but her physical foundation was very good, and with the careful care of Zhang Yuzhen, a person who came over, she quickly adapted to it.

On this day, Ling Shizhe was in the office to correct the documents, and Navali came to his office to tell him that an agreement had been reached with North American Iron and Steel United, and Ambrera Company would take a 30% stake in the steel smelter in Montreal with titanium alloy steel technology, and North American Iron and Steel United Company would also promise to provide us with high-quality and cheap special steel and guarantee supply at any time.

This is good news, many enterprises in the previous republic, in the critical period of development, foreign steel companies or material companies. Stop supplying to domestic enterprises for no reason, or simply sit on the ground and raise prices, causing domestic enterprises to waste good opportunities for development, or projects that should be profitable become unprofitable. There were even losses.

Although Ambrera is nominally a Canadian enterprise, because Ling Shizhe is Chinese, he does not dare to guarantee that these European and American steel companies will not give him such a hand during the critical period of Ambrera's development.

When I first started. Ling Shizhe thinks that the reason why these European and American companies are so kind to domestic companies is only because they are domestic enterprises, because China and the West are opposites. But after dealing with European and American companies for a long time, Ling Shizhe found how naïve his original idea was, because these European and American companies not only do this to domestic enterprises, but also to their own countries.

Therefore, we signed a long-term and stable material supply contract with them as early as possible. At present, Ambrera does not have much demand for steel, but with the commissioning of the inverted three-wheeled motorcycle gradually becoming mature, the demand for steel will increase in the future, and then it will be necessary to find a second supplier, Ling Shizhe's target is Canadian Steel.

The steel produced by North American steel companies has many advantages over Europe and Japan in terms of quality and price, although the steel produced in Europe is also good, but the output cannot be compared with the steel companies in North America, so the price comparison is also relatively high; Although the production of Japanese steel is large, the type and quality of steel are not comparable to those of North American companies.

Moreover. Both the United States and Canada have long passed the period of large-scale national infrastructure construction, and the demand for steel has decreased significantly, so the price of steel in the United States has also fallen sharply, and many steel mills are under-operated. Or even close the door altogether. Therefore, it is the right time to speculate on the bottom of the steel company at this time.

In March, the digital drawing tablet was successfully developed and began to enter the trial phase within DreamWorks, and if there are no problems, it will soon be on the market. This digital drawing tablet can't compare with the later generations. Later generations of digital drawing tablets all had liquid crystal displays, which were not much different from a tablet.

And this digital drawing board is no different from the common computer writing board in later generations, although there is a color function, but the color can only display 32 colors, compared with the tens of millions of colors in later generations, this digital drawing board can be described as simple to the extreme, can only display static pictures, 3D and animation can not be displayed at all, although so, its appearance has also increased the speed and quality of the painter's painting several times.

In mid-March, after more than half a year of hard work, the first DBME double-decker passenger car of Ambrera Locomotive Factory successfully rolled off the assembly line.

Under the push of GE's ND5-I diesel locomotive, the DBME double-decker coach painted in sky blue and maple leaf color slowly drove out of the tall assembly workshop of the locomotive factory. Andrew, plus Ling Shizhe and his party, picked up scissors and cut off the several meters of red silk hanging on the carriage port.

Unlike the domestic ceremonies, the Canadian ceremonies are extremely simple, and after the ribbon cutting, the governor of Quebec, Joseph. After Andrew gave a speech of less than 5 minutes, the whole ceremony ended. Then Governor Andrew just took a brief look in the car and left in a hurry.

After the ceremony, the people dispersed, leaving only Navali and Ling Shizhe standing in front of the double-decker bus.

Navalli works in North America all the year round, the air transport industry and heavy-haul freight railways in North America are extremely developed, and the passenger railways are much worse, in the seventies and eighties, even Canada is not as good, in the United States passenger trains often have to give way to freight trains, the famous "Coast Starlight" luxury train in the United States has set a world record of only 2% punctuality rate in three years. As a result, in the 70s and 80s, Americans took very few trains for their daily trips, except for time travel.

The two climbed onto the platform and walked into the carriage, Ling Shizhe glanced at the door on the right-hand side, and found that the original folding door had also been changed to an integral automatic sliding door common to later railways.

The Canadian version of the DBME double-decker bus has a golden hue on the side walls of the car, a dark red carpet on the brownish-yellow floor and a row of creamy rectangular lights inlaid in the center of the top of the car. The light gray individual seats are arranged in a 2+2 way of civil aviation. After ascending to the second floor of the carriage, the view suddenly opens up, and the large aluminum alloy windows look pleasing to the eye. The wrapping of the seat is very good, and to Ling Shizhe's surprise, a small board table is actually provided on the backrest of the front seat.

After a careful look, Ling Shizhe shook his head, although the carriage is very luxuriously decorated, but it is unsatisfactory in the details, Canadians are the same as the Americans, and they don't care much about the details. There is also the exterior painting of the bus that has to be changed, it is too ugly, Ling Shizhe appreciates the beige and dark blue painting of the later Republic of China buses.
