Size compensation
|
Displayed when a press device profile ([Flexo Default Press] or press device profile created using [Flexo Default Press]) of a flexo device is selected in [Press Device].
This sets the size compensation value for each device, taking into account the stretching that occurs when the flexo media is set onto the station.
Enter the scaling percentage in [Width] or [Height] according to the direction in which the stretching occurs. If the scaling percentage is less than 100%, it decreases in size. If it is greater than 100%, it increases in size. If it is 100%, it is output at the same size.
Note
- The scaling percentage can be set in a range of 80% to 120%.
- If the initial value of the size compensation is set in the selected press device profile, the initial value is displayed.
- Scaling for screen shapes is not performed for size compensation.
- After a job has been implemented, the context menu of the Queue screen - [View Job] can be selected and the scaling result of the size compensation can be checked.
- The size compensation setting is applied only to the output of [Plates]. It is not reflected in the proof output.
- Size compensation cannot be set for TIFF Bypass jobs.
