Page creator workflow
If you prepare files but do not make film or plates at your site,
coordinate workflow details with your printer.
Handing files to the printer site
In order that your workflow outputs files as intended, it is
important
to
do the following:
●
Coordinate with your printer site to perform tests with reasonably
complex sample files.
●
Communicate with your printer site that when they input the
Prinergy pages, they should not perform additional processing on
the pages. Otherwise, another proof cycle may be required.
Accordingly, if the printer site uses Prinergy, they should refine with
as few settings as possible (Refine-no options, Optimize-no
options), to ensure they don't inadvertently change the file from the
publisher's intention. (For example, refining with
Set Black to
Overprint
or
Set Colors to Knockout
selected in the ColorConvert
section of the refine process template can change the appearance
of traps.)
As a 'page creator,' you refine and deliver files (usually pages; not flats)
to a printer, who has specific output requirements based on his
operation.
