Plate Setup
If the selected device condition uses a plate setup in the
selected snapshot, this plate setup is displayed here. Otherwise,
this list displays
None
.
This list is not available if the
Plate Characterization
option is
selected. It is also not available when a process template is
configured for continuous-tone (non-screened) output.
Plate Line
You establish the behavior of a particular plate, screening, and
plating line by plating a tint ramp, manually measuring the
resulting dot area on the plate, and entering the values in the
Plate Setups dialog box in the ColorFlow software.
A ColorFlow plate line is associated with only one plate setup.
In your shop, you may use a platesetter and chemistry to
process several different screenings. To model this, in
ColorFlow, create similar plate lines in the other plate setups.
You can name them to match the equipment in your plant. You
may want to create several plate lines to indicate when
chemistry changes occur. For example, if you routinely change
solutions on Mondays, you might create different ColorFlow
plate lines for Monday, Wednesday, and Friday.
If the
Plate Setup
list displays a plate setup, the
Plate Line
list
contains all ColorFlow plate lines controlled by the plate setup
in the selected snapshot. If the
Plate Setup
list displays
None
,
the
Plate Line
list also displays
None
.
This list is not available if the
Plate Characterization
option is
selected. It is also not available when a process template is
configured for continuous-tone (non-screened) output.
ColorConvert section of the Loose Page Output process template
This process template section defines how Prinergy handles color
converting during loose page output.
Color converting, as part of loose page output, transforms the color
description of colored objects in a PDF page to the appropriate final
output color space, and then to the appropriate color space of the loose
page output device. As a result, the loose page output simulates the
intended final output.
JTP
Select the job ticket processor (JTP) to use for color conversion.
You set up JTPs using Prinergy Administrator.
