WARNING: Output will fail if the color setup does not match the color setup
assigned during refine, unless the
Allow undefined color setup or color setup
mismatch
option is enabled.
It is possible to select from four modes for output to halftone devices
or files. These modes control the curves that are applied upon output.
Print Production
This halftone output mode reflects the standard operation of
Prinergy and ColorFlow for production. When this option is
selected, curves are applied to each output separation, as
described next:
●
The
print calibration curve
for the separation, determined by
the selections from the
Snapshot
,
Device
, and
Device
Condition
lists, and possibly modified at run time by the
settings in the Tonal Control dialog box, is applied to
separation input tints.
●
The
plate calibration curve
, determined by the selections from
the
Plate Setup
and
Plate Line
lists, is applied to the
separation tints modified by the print calibration curve.
Note: If
None
is selected from the
Plate Setup
and
Plate Line
lists, the
plate calibration curve is linear (has no effect).
This option is not available when a process template is
configured for continuous-tone (non-screened) output.
Print Characterization
This halftone output mode is used to print and measure the
response of a print device. When this option is selected, curves
are applied to each output separation as follows:
●
The
device curve
for the separation, determined by the
selections from the
Snapshot
,
Device
, and
Device Condition
lists, with no modifications from the Tonal Control dialog
box, is applied to separation input tints.
●
The
plate calibration curve
, determined by the selections from
the
Plate Setup
and
Plate Line
lists, is applied to the
separation tints modified by the print calibration curve.
Note: If
None
is selected from the
Plate Setup
and
Plate Line
lists, the
plate calibration curve is linear (has no effect).
When this option is selected, the
Device
list contains all curved
print devices in the selected snapshot, and the
Device
Condition
list contains all ColorFlow device conditions in the
selected snapshot that use the selected device. If the selected
device condition uses a plate setup, the
Plate Setup
list displays
