3D Proofer

3D Proofer displays the document output status and binding status in 3 dimensions.

When settings such as page creep, document orientation, paper thickness and varnish coating are configured, the output results can be simulated and checked in detail.

The fold pattern in the brochure format can be displayed in 3D by executing [Split page for brochure] in [Reading Order] context menu.

In addition, 3D Proofer can be exported as a JAR file that can reproduce the 3D display within computer environments in which XMF is not installed. By distributing these JAR files, proofing that is closer to the actual output can be performed in a wide range of environments.

Note

As the display modes of 3D Proofer, [Document Mode] is available to display the status before the rendering process, and [Rendered Mode] is available to display the status that reflects the rendering results.
In Rendered Mode, the rendered data can be displayed in a preview, and the gutter and creep settings can also be reflected.
The following displayed contents vary depending on the display mode.

Display Item Display Mode
Document Mode Rendered Mode
Source image for display PDF data generated with Page Preparation Rendered RGB image
Reflection of imposition information Only the imposition pattern setting can be configured. Only the gutter setting on the spine side can be configured.
Display after bleeding Available Available
Reflection of fold pattern Available Available
Image resolution 72 dpi PDF data Rendered image in the resolution specified in [3DOptions] pane

To open the 3D display in Rendered Mode, Generic Proofer must be installed in Configuration Tool. For details on Configuration Tool settings, contact the administrator.

To use Rendered Mode, [Plates] must be included in the job product.

In variable jobs, the following applies.

Caution

The binding edge cannot be displayed in Rendered Mode.

Depending on the performance of your computer, pages sized A3 or larger may not be displayed correctly. Whether an image is displayed correctly depends on your graphics board and the pixel count of the displayed image.
