The Control Unit Development department manufactures the digital front end for a market-leading high speed commercial printing press that prints on continuous forms. The control unit is a high performance computing application comprising hardware and software. It consists of a rack of Linux servers that receive print jobs in the form of job settings and page description language, for example, PDF or AFP. The control unit performs layout of pages of printed matter into sheets that are printed at high speed and resolution on a continuous substrate or web and produces digital images that are sent at high speed to the print engine while the web is in motion.
