RIP Proof

[Imposition] Pane

You can configure the imposition used for proofing.

Note

The displayed setting items differ depending on factors such as the workflow item connected to [RIP Proof] or the assigned sheets and signature groups. Items displayed in grey or items that are not displayed cannot be set.

Restriction

[Section Proof] and [Work Style] cannot be selected because Jet Press/J Press/Jet Press F/J Press F/Jet Press R is not a two-sided printing press.

ID Setting Description

1

Use Imposition From

Set when the same imposition as the imposition set in [Plates] or [Digital Press] connected to [RIP Proof] is used.

Check the checkbox, click [], and select the workflow item that is used by the same imposition settings.

Note
  • The following applies when [RIP Proof] is connected to [Jet Press]/[J Press], [Jet Press F]/[J Press F], [Jet Press R] or [Jet Press W]/[J Press W].
  • When a workflow item connected to [Use Imposition From] is specified, [RIP Proof] inherits the information of [Surface Inks] from the connected workflow item.
  • When a workflow item connected to [Use Imposition From] is not specified, [RIP Proof] inherits only the information of [Product Inks] from the connected workflow item.

2

Use Slugline

Set when [Use Imposition From] is checked. When the checkbox is checked, the slugline settings configured in the workflow item selected in [Use Imposition From] are applied.

3

Use Cut and Stack

Displayed for variable jobs. Check the checkbox to use a cut and stack imposition in the variable job.

Stack Sheets: Enter the number of sheets per stack when using a cut and stack imposition. The number of sheets can be set according to the number that can be cut at one time by the cutter.

Sets: Displays the number of stack sheet sets to be generated according to the number of sheets entered in [Stack Sheets], the number of job records, the number of pages per record, and the imposition layout.

Note
  • In the default setting, [DoubleSided(Cut and Stack)] is selected in [Template] and [F8-7] is applied as the imposition pattern.
  • The following applies to cut and stack impositions in variable jobs.
  • In Imposition View, only the imposition layout for 1 sheet is edited, and when the job is run, sheets in which all the pages included in the job are assigned are generated and output.
  • Only an imposition layout with 1 signature placed on 1 sheet can be used.
  • In [Template], only an imposition template that can be applied as a cut and stack imposition can be used. If there are multiple sheets in the selected imposition template, the 2nd and subsequent sheets are deleted before applying the template. Also, if multiple signatures are placed on 1 sheet in the imposition template, the 2nd and subsequent signatures are deleted before applying the template.
  • When editing in Imposition View, settings that do not satisfy the conditions of cut and stack impositions cannot be used. Also, the setting cannot be changed to a binding style other than cut and stack.

Edit Template: Edit the imposition or template of the selected signature group.

Note
  • In variable jobs, when [None] or [Double Sided] is selected in [Template], the imposition layout cannot be edited.
  • When a sheet in an imposition layout is deleted or added while editing a variable job again, if the workflow item with the changed imposition is not selected as the retry target when the job is saved, the job will fail. In this case, retry the job or workflow item from the Queue screen.

2x2 Imposition Splitting

When the checkbox is checked, the set imposition is divided into 4 surfaces with 2x2 pages imposed. This setting is used when data, such as input data with 8 or more surfaces imposed, is difficult to output for proofing without change.

Caution
  1. This setting may not be configured depending on the document, such as when the 2x2 pages number-up cannot be set after the imposition is divided into 4 surfaces.

11

Paper to Plate Offset

Enter the paper position for the plate as X-direction and Y-direction offset values relative to the origin point at the bottom left.

If [Centre] checkbox is checked, the paper is automatically set to the centre of the plate.

To place the paper by specifying the distance from the centre of the plate, check [Centre] checkbox, and enter the distance (offset value) from the centre of the plate in the text box to the right of [Centre]. Enter a positive value to place the paper rightward or upward from the plate centre. Enter a negative value (-) to place the paper leftward or downward from the plate centre.

Note

In variable jobs, even if [RIP Proof] settings are saved as a workflow item template, [Use Cut and Stack] and [Template] settings are not saved.
