Print finishing method and apparatus

摘要

A printing and finishing system includes a printing device for producing a print according to printing parameters and a finishing device for finishing the print according to finishing parameters. In one implementation, the system includes a controller configured for two-way communication between the printing device and the finishing device. The implementation may allow the controller to adjust at least one of the printing parameters in response to at least one of the finishing parameters and allows the controller to adjust at least one of the finishing parameters in response to at least one of the printing parameters. The implementation may be configured so that the controller operates the printing device using the at least one printing parameter adjusted in response to at least one finishing parameter and operates the finishing device using the at least one finishing parameter adjusted in response to at least one printing parameter.
