[Plate Slugline] Pane

In [Plate Slugline] pane, configure items such as the position, content and font of the slugline.

Note

A slugline is text or a barcode which defines job information. File names, colour correction with curves, ICC profiles, print dates, and other important setting information can be defined. A slugline is used for identifying a job, archiving, and proofing.

The settings of [Imposition View] - [Plate Slugline] are the same as those of [Slugline] of workflow items. When either one of setting items is changed, the other setting item is changed as well.

To reflect the changed settings in the preview, click [].

To display a slugline in the preview, click [] on the toolbar (viewer tools) and set the dynamic marks to display.
