RIP Proof

RIP (Raster Image Processor) Proof is a workflow item that is mainly used to proof the details of job input data. The difference with ROOM Proof is that raster data from before the screening is used.

Colour conversion from the final output colour space (press colour space) to the proofing device colour space (proofer colour space) is performed for the output data (3rd stage of colour conversion), and it is output in continuous tone.

Note

Direct colour conversion to the proofer colour space can also be performed, without performing the colour conversion from the document colour space to the press colour space (2nd stage of colour conversion).

Screening can be set for the proofer in accordance with the system configuration.

 

In [RIP Proof], the following items can be set.

ID Setting Description

1

Imposition

You can configure the imposition used for proofing.

2

Device Parameters

You can configure settings related to the proofing device and rasterised PDF. The setting contents vary according to the selected device.

3

Split Job

Configure the settings for job unit splitting and JDF output of split jobs.

4

Media (Proofer)

Digital Print Media (Digital Press)

You can configure the settings related to the proof media.

When a proofer is selected in [Device Parameters] - [Device], the settings for the proofer are displayed.

When [Generic DP] or another digital press device is selected in [Device Parameters] - [Device], the settings for the digital press device are displayed.

5

Print Range

You can configure the record to output for proofing in variable jobs.

6

Screening

You can configure the applicable dots when performing dot proofing.

Note
  1. This can only be set when [Device Parameters] - [Device] - [Generic Proofer] is selected, and [Mono 1-bit] is set in [Device Parameters] - [File Details] - [Pixel Format].
    If a device other than [Generic Proofer] is selected, the screening setting of the proof media profile selected in [Media] - [Profile name] is applied.

7

Separations

You can manage print processes related to items such as the ink specified in the job, the ink to print, and the print order.

8

Colour Management

You can configure settings related to the colour conversion to the proofer colour space (3rd stage of colour conversion), and the PDF colour conversion.

9

Slugline

Configure items such as the position, content and font of the slugline to be printed for proofing.

Note
  • When [Use Slugline] is enabled in [Imposition], the slugline of the workflow item that uses the imposition settings is applied.

10

Digital Print Settings

You can configure when outputting to a digital press device.

11

Blueline Marks

You can configure to output bluelines and rulers during proofing.

12

Export Settings

You can configure settings for outputting a JDF that describes job settings to other systems.

Note
  1. The [Export Settings] may not be displayed depending on the device selected in [Device Parameters].

13

PDF Format

You can configure settings for the source PDF to be output to other systems.

Note
  1. [PDF Format] may not be displayed depending on the device selected in [Device Parameters].
Note

The displayed setting items differ depending on the workflow item connected to [RIP Proof], selected device or job. Settings that cannot be used are not displayed.

The normal workflow in printing processes is to output for proofing before outputting to [Plates]. For this reason, when [RIP Proof] is connected to [Plates] by dragging and dropping, [Hold] is added automatically between [RIP Proof] and [Plates].
If you do not want [Hold] to be added automatically, drag and drop [RIP Proof] while holding down the Alt key.

When a variable job is edited again and saved, the retry target for [RIP Proof] cannot be selected by sheet or by record.
