Virtual Proofing System
To soft-proof individual or imposed pages you can create a file for
viewing with Virtual Proofing System software. With Virtual Proofing
System software you can:
●
View the imposed layout (imposed proof only)
●
View separations
●
View backups of surfaces (imposed proof only)
●
View safe protect box
●
Zoom in on specific content
●
Turn on trim lines
●
Check measurements
To create a soft proof, follow the instructions in
on page
and select a Virtual Proofing System software
process template.
To view VPS files, right-click the pages, surfaces, signatures, or
separations that you want to view--anywhere that a VPS file has been
created--and select
Open VPS Files
in the context menu. Alternatively,
select
File
>
Open VPS Files
.
Note: You cannot open VPS files from the Pages pane if the VPS files were output
from the Page Sets pane—the resulting VPS files from each location are different.
When outputting VPS files from the Page Sets pane, it incorporates geometry
information from the associated imposition, whereas outputting VPS files from the
Pages pane includes geometry from just the page.
For information about using Virtual Proofing System, see the Virtual
Proofing System documentation.
About document screening
The following limitations apply when you select
Use document's
screening, if present
in the
Screening Mode
box on the
Calibration &
Screening
section of an output process template:
●
Possible screen angles are 0, 15, 30, 45, 60, 75, 90, 105, 120, 135,
150, 165. Screen angles you specify from the desktop software are
rounded to the nearest applicable screen angle.
●
For any object, unless you're mixing AM and FM screens, set the
screens for all separations to the same frequency. In other words,
you can have the bumper of the car in an ad screened at 175 lpi and
the hood screened at 133 lpi, but you shouldn't have the bumper's
cyan separation screened at 175 lpi and its magenta separation
screened at 133 lpi. Setting all separations to the same frequency is
easy to do, as many software applications support a screen all
separations at same frequency feature.
●
There are no standards for dot shape names-Ellipse in one software
application might have a different orientation or shape than Ellipse
in another software application. When you select
