Section Proof

In Section Proof, you can not only browse the imposition settings but also configure settings that are unique to section proofs such as the split pattern, work style, media, signature and dynamic marks.

Section Proof is one of the imposition setting items of the workflow items [RIP Proof] and [PDF Export].

Set Section Proof for RIP Proof when outputting with a proofer, and set Section Proof for PDF Export when outputting to PDF files.

Caution

If the reference imposition or pagination settings are changed after setting Section Proof, the settings of Section Proof are cancelled. Configure the section proof settings after you finish configuring the reference imposition or pagination settings.

When outputting the signature group of the pagination settings as a section proof, if the page is edited in 2D Viewer after setting the section proof, the section proof setting will be cancelled.

Note

The following figure is an example of settings in [RIP Proof] - [Imposition] pane.

Check [Use Imposition From] checkbox ([Generate Stitched PDF] checkbox in the case of PDF Export), click [] and select [Plates].

To perform section proofing with reference to the imposition of [Jet Press]/[J Press], [Jet Press F]/[J Press F], [Jet Press R] or [Jet Press W]/[J Press W], check the [Use Imposition From] checkbox, click [] and select [Jet Press]/[J Press], [Jet Press F]/[J Press F], [Jet Press R] or [Jet Press W]/[J Press W].

You can use [RIP Proof] to output the signature group of the pagination settings as a section proof. To output a section proof of a signature group, select [Use Signature Group], and use [Template] to select the signature group to output the section proof.

In [PDF Export], you cannot perform section proofing with reference to the imposition of [Jet Press]/[J Press], [Jet Press F]/[J Press F], [Jet Press R] or [Jet Press W]/[J Press W].

  4. If an imposition setting of the split source is as follows, [2x1 Imposition Splitting Centre Face Up] and [2x1 Imposition Splitting Centre Face Down] are disabled.
  5. There is no fold line information.
  6. There is a signature such as a letter fold or 8-page accordion fold signature that cannot be split into 2x1.
