Display Settings

The display of [Imposition View] can be configured.

Transparency

You can make the main side of the sheet transparent and check the alignment and content of the reverse side. Set the transparency with the slide bar. Set the transparency from 0% (no transparency) to 100% (display only reverse side).

Note
  1. [Transparency] can only be set when Imposition View is started from [Plates] or [Jet Press W]/[J Press W].
  2. The orientation of the reverse side changes according to the setting of [Work Style].
  3. To prevent confusion between the main and overlay images, the transparency control cannot be set to 100%; when it is released at a value that exceeds 90% it will automatically snap back to 90%.
  4. Drag the sheet with [] while pressing the Shift key to move the selected sheet and check the reverse side.
  5. The transparent display is not applied to objects placed outside the paper.
  6. When [Rendered Mode] is selected and [Display Stretched] is checked, the transparent display cannot be used.

Flip: Reverses the front and back of the sheet.

Note
  • When [Work Style] is set to [Work and Turn] or [Work and Tumble], [Flip] cannot be used.

Document Mode

Displays the page image based on input data (PDF).

Low Resolution Image: When a low resolution image is generated, displays the page image with low resolution.

Note
  • Low resolution images are generated when [Create low resolution preview images for viewer] is checked in [Page Prep Preferences] of the job settings.

Display Media Transparency: Displays transparency by displaying areas with no objects as a chequered pattern. This makes it easy to distinguish between "white" and "transparent" for background colours using white spot colour inks.

Display Nesting Layout: Sets the display of the nesting layout overlapping areas for flexo plate data in JDF format that was imposed by nesting with another imposition application or package printing application. When the checkbox is checked, the bottom image in the overlapping area is visible through a transparent display.

Note
  • To use nesting layout display, a flexo device-dedicated screen licence is required.
  • This setting can be configured only when [Display Mode] - [Document Mode] is selected.
  • This is only applied to jobs for which page preparation has been completed.
  • If both [Simulate Paper White] and [Overprint Preview] checkboxes are checked, the transparent display is not used in the overlapping area of the nesting layout even if [Display Nesting Layout] is checked.

5

Rendered Mode

This setting can be selected for a job for which the rendering process is completed.

Displays the page image based on rasterised data which is created after the rendering process.

 

The following items can be set in accordance with the job settings.

When the checkbox is checked, displays the page image based on the selected setting.

Display Stretched: When the rendering process is set with the stretch setting, displays the stretched page image.

Display Reversed: When the rendering process is set with lateral reversal, displays the mirror page image.

Note
  1. In [Rendered Mode], only the preview can be displayed. The imposition settings cannot be changed.
  2. When using [Size compensation] to scale the data and output it to a flexo device, the rendering results of [Plates] are displayed with the size compensation applied.
  3. The calibration of Jet Press W/J Press W is applied during the output processing after rendering. As a result, the result before calibration is applied is displayed in [Rendered Mode].
