PURPOSE: A method and an apparatus for optimized image processing are provided to include different printing jobs on a single output medium, such as a lithographic plate. CONSTITUTION: A typical printing press employs one or more imaging stations, each having a dedicated image processing apparatus(100). The image processing apparatus(100) includes a buffer memory structure(104), a resultant image buffer(108), and a drive unit(110), all in electrical communication with a control unit(102). The buffer memory structure(104) includes one or more buffer memory pairs(106). Any number of buffer pairs(106) is within the scope of the present invention. In one embodiment, one buffer memory pair(106) is provided for each raw image data file that is a component of the final image. In a further embodiment, one buffer memory pair(106) is provided for each imaging device(112) needed by each raw image data file. Each zone corresponds to one imaging device(112).
