Use GMG to convert and print a proof

Files are automatically downloaded from an FTP server and print a correct proof using GMG ColorProof based on the file's naming convention.

This flow is compatible with: FullSWITCH and PowerSWITCH (Windows only).

Information

All files uploaded to a specific FTP server are downloaded automatically by SWITCH. SWITCH also checks a hotfolder where files and folders can be dropped into.

Files are filtered based on the file name: files containing "_BW" right before their file extension go to the GMG BW hotfolder; "_color" files go to the GMG color hotfolder.

GMG ColorProof is used to send the files to the proofer. This is possible because you can setup GMG ColorProof to collect files from a hotfolder and to print them automatically to a proofer.
