color conversion, and optimization) is best. The general recommendation for input
files is to still do a full refine.
Press-ready PDFs
A press-ready PDF file is a file for which the printer only needs to
impose, perform a last Prinergy Virtual Proofing System (VPS) check,
and do the final output. The printer site is not expected to perform any
modifications on the input files, since the publisher has checked that
color conversion has taken place, traps and overprints are present in
the file, preflight problems have been corrected, fonts have been
included, the file RIPs correctly, and so on. The printer assumes that all
settings in the files are as the page-preparation site intends on final
output.
The bypass refine process
To bypass refine, process your PDF input files using the Bypass Refine
process template, which only registers your PDF input files with
associated colorant and geometry attributes into the Prinergy system;
it does not change the contents of the file.
Important: Because no preflighting or corrections are performed, take care to
proof your output. You should proof to an appropriate separation-capable proofer,
such as to the Prinergy VPS software or to a Trendsetter Spectrum platesetter, to
ensure that the separations and page content RIP and output as expected.
Note: Apparent document size discrepancy between input and refined PDF as
seen in Workshop is a result of information that is added to the refined page. That
is, colorant information is put into the PDF to allow Workshop to display painted
colorants for each file.
Bypass Refine process template
Use the bypass refine process template to register your press-ready
PDF files into the Prinergy system and to avoid refining the files.
Bypassing refine ensures that the content does not change, and saves
processing time and resources.
CAUTION: Because no preflighting or corrections are performed, proof all output
to ensure separations and content output as expected.
