Anti-Aliasing
Select this check box to enable anti-aliasing, and then in the
at
Ratio
list, specify a ratio for anti-aliasing.
Anti-aliasing is a technique of improving the appearance of
output by minimizing the "stair step" effect on rasterized
output. It does so by rendering to a higher resolution than the
intended output, and then downsampling to the intended
output. This generates "averaged" pixels which softens the
"stair step" effect on low-resolution output. The ratio value for
anti-aliasing refers to the factor used to determine the
intermediate resolution. A higher ratio results in higher quality,
but can have an effect on output speed. For example, if the
output is a 300 DPI 8-bit TIFF, and the anti-alias ratio is 4,
Prinergy will render an intermediate output at 1200 DPI (4 x
300 DPI), and then downsample to the user-requested 300
DPI. Anti-aliasing is only available for 8-bit (256 shade) output.
Fail if font problems detected
Select this check box to fail the output process if a file has
missing fonts.
Note: This feature is not available for vector outputs (PDF, PS2, PS3, EPS,
DCS Vector, PDF/X-1a, PDF/X-3, CT/LW, and DELTA).
Ignore Embedded Fonts in Marks Files
Select this check box if you want Prinergy to ignore embedded
fonts in a marks file and to look for the fonts in the
system
fonts
folder.
Important: You must install the fonts in
%ServerName%\%AraxiHome
%\AdobeExtreme\bin\fonts
, or the output will fail.
Convert Text to Paths
This check box converts fonts to outlines before a file is RIPed.
This option was added in Prinergy 3.0 when the CPSI 3016 RIP
was included with Prinergy. This option helped situations where
the 3016 RIP failed to process the fonts on certain jobs.
This option has limited usefulness now, but is included as a
potential workaround in rare cases where fonts are not
rendered correctly by the RIP. It is not recommended that you
enable this on on a permanent basis. When using this option for
specific jobs, it is recommended that you ensure that both
proofs and plates are output with this option.
