Job Ticket Hotfolder

This hotfolder type is not included in the standard GMG ColorProof version and requires an additional license. Please contact your local dealer for details.

A Job Ticket Hotfolder provides an XML interface for an easy integration of GMG ColorProof into any workflow system which is able to write a definable XML output file. All you need to do is copy your input file in a Job Ticket Hotfolder along with the XML job ticket created by your workflow system.

The job ticket can contain specific color management parameters to define the processing, for example, the proof standard name. This way you can use multiple proof standards with just one connected workflow.

How to use multiple proof standards with one workflow

  1. Create a Job Ticket Hotfolder in GMG ColorProof, defining an input folder for your files.
  2. Create a workflow in GMG ColorProof and connect it to the Job Ticket Hotfolder.
  3. Drop the files you want to proof and XML job tickets with proof standard information referencing the input files via file name into the defined Job Ticket Hotfolder.
    The referenced input files are processed according to the defined parameters of the job tickets and the connected workflow.

This way, you can automate your color management system and reduce the administrative effort of setting up and managing a large number of different proof workflows.
