InferenceSpecInput

Type: Input

Inline component specification for operation inference

Fields

Name	Type	Default	Description
backColorCount	Int		Number of colour units printed on the back side; 0 for single-sided work. Used for press constraint matching. Null leaves the constraint unchecked (permissive).
componentKind	String!		Component kind (e.g. CONTENT, COVER)
finishing	InferenceFinishingInput		Finishing operations to apply after printing. Omitted means no finishing operations are inferred.
frontColorCount	Int		Number of colour units printed on the front side (e.g. 4 for CMYK). Used for press constraint matching. Null leaves the constraint unchecked (permissive).
hasSpotColors	Boolean		Whether any non-process (spot) inks are used. Defaults to false when omitted.
preferredPrintProcess	String		Preferred printing process: "offset", "digital" or "inkjet". Null lets the estimator/scheduler choose.
productionKind	String		Production kind (e.g. SADDLE_STITCHED, PERFECT_BOUND)
quantity	Int		Production run quantity (number of finished copies)
requiresEndpapers	Boolean		Whether endpapers are required (case binding) — adds an endpaper production branch. Defaults to false when omitted.
requiresHeadBands	Boolean		Whether head/tail bands are required (case binding). Defaults to false when omitted.
requiresPreCut	Boolean		Whether the substrate must be cut before printing (parent sheets to press sheets). True for offset from parent stock, false for pre-cut digital stock. Defaults to false when omitted.
requiresPrinting	Boolean		Whether this component is printed at all. False for blank endpapers, pre-printed inserts or board components — no printing operation is inferred. Defaults to true when omitted.
spotColorCount	Int		Number of spot (non-process) ink channels required. Checked against a press's spot-colour capacity (a press with 2 spot heads cannot run a 3-spot job). Defaults to 0 when omitted.
substrateCoating	String		Substrate coating (e.g. "COATED", "MATTE", "UNCOATED"). Evaluated against work center media constraints; null leaves those constraints unchecked (permissive).
substrateHeightMm	Float		Substrate height/length in millimetres. Evaluated against work center sheet-size constraints; null leaves those constraints unchecked (permissive).
substrateThicknessMm	Float		Substrate caliper in millimetres. Evaluated against work center thickness constraints; null leaves those constraints unchecked (permissive).
substrateWeightGsm	Int		Substrate weight in gsm (grams per square metre). Evaluated against work center stock-weight constraints; null leaves those constraints unchecked (permissive).
substrateWidthMm	Float		Substrate width in millimetres. Evaluated against work center sheet-size constraints; null leaves those constraints unchecked (permissive).
totalPages	Int		Total content pages (e.g. 64 for a 64-page text block). Drives fold patterns and signature structure. Null for non-paginated work such as flatwork.
