Abstract
A system and method for pre-print visualization of a job to be printed are described. The method includes submitting the content of the printing job, and associated printing environment data, in order to create a virtual rendering of the job in 3D on a user interface. In one embodiment, the rendering may be a low-resolution rendering and in another embodiment or later step, the virtual rendering would employ print-quality representations of content. The virtual rendering further allows a user to observe job-specific aspects and change a point of view relative to the rendering, including selecting and viewing individual pages of the print job. The method and system may be employed to facilitate obtaining user approval for production of the print job before forwarding the job for production.
