Flujo de Perfilar - ProductionHouse y ONYX ICC Usando Pantone Mejoras de ONYX 7.0 Preguntas Contactos When you begin your profiling workflow it’s important to do proper printer maintenance for optimal printing conditions. This also means knowing what controls you want the front panel of the printer to control and knowing those settings so you can decide later what printer properties you want the RIP to control. Most of the printer options are accessible in the RIP and if they are set will override what the front panel displays. Knowing which controls are done where helps when you make your selections in the <Media Options>. Profiling for purpose: how is the profile going to be used, desired output conditions determine your purpose. ONYX® Software for Superior Printing Workflow

Calibrating is the process of synchronizing the media, ink, resolution, and dot pattern combination for your printer to ensure consistent output Profiling establishes your target output (density and color) to ensure the highest quality prints Features/Functions: Manage Media Types – Create new media and modify existing ones. Modify Ink Configurations – Set the ink type (e.g. UV, Dye, etc.) and configuration (e.g. CMYK, CMYKcm, etc.) used by your media and printer. Enable and Disable Dot Patterns and Resolutions – Control the use of dot patterns and resolutions Also, it gives you absolute control over your color via : Ink Restrictions – Ensure placement of the proper amount of ink and prevent over-saturation of ink combinations Linearizations – Precisely determine the desired ink density for your printer. Ink density is literally the intensity of ink in one area and can be affected by resolution, dot pattern, and ink restriction (amount of ink placed) Ink Limits – Prevent over-saturation of four color combinations ICC Profiles – Utilize or create specific color information for each media, ink, resolution, and dot pattern combination UCR and GCR – Create the optimal balance between three and four-color black Seleccione Impresora Haga Clic > Media Manager ONYX® Software for Superior Printing Workflow

Crear nuevo Medio Crear un Nuevo Medio Crear un Nuevo Modo
First step, give it a name-this is for organization and categorizing You’ll see the steps on the left and the help on the right The steps are customized to your device and your printer capabilities 2) Creating a New Media a) Basic Mode Settings i. Media Group (Ink Config) ii. Media Name iii. Mode Name iv. Resolution and Dot Pattern Media Group: Is based on the ink processing options or you can add > New to rename a different Enter a name for your media Group that will help you organize your media effectively, such as UV, DYE or a media manufacture name. Media Name: Is the name of your media, could be a part # or descriptive name More about modes…Create a new Mode for an existing media. When you create a new mode, you can only select from existing medias. When Creating a New Media, after you’ve done your naming, the next step is creating a Mode for that media. Up to this point you are naming the media and basic mode settings. You must always create a new mode Create a New Media The difference between a media and a mode is the media is going to be the first in the hierarchy because the media is just the material name. A material name you might have a specific resolution using multiple speed settings…one might be uni-directional, or bi-directional…one might be 2 pass or 4 pass etc…but it’s still the same media or material you’re printing on. Media is the material. A mode just defines different printer settings for the same media. Technically you could make different printer settings (Modes) part of your media name, but you’d still have to specify a mode. When we being to “Create Profiles” you select > Create a New Media because the first couple of steps are always going to be defining a mode. Although we’re giving this media a name now, if we want to come back later for different printer capabilities, like bi-directional, we would then select > Create New Mode for that process, and be able to select a media name we already started with in the library. And that only skips these first steps. (Media Options as part of Mode or part of Media). We need to choose our media group which in the way that we do Medias internally, it’ the ink configuration name that the printer currently has loaded. (Mutho FalconII - here we have 2x4ecoSol Ultra VarDot). You can <Add> new names here by clicking the <New> button, if you want the Media group to be different name, although the Media Group isn’t actually an Ink configuration, here at ONYX we use that naming convention for simplicity. That’s how we define the name. But if your shop has multiple warehouses of media, one warehouse holds the media for car wraps, and one warehouse for outdoor signage, you can have a media group “car wraps” and “signage” group them different, but the media name is still just the material name. The hierarchy of media group internally is bases off of the ink configuration name, that we’ve set as part of our printer capabilities, but we can select >New> names if we wanted to rename them something different. It works for use where we need to post our profiles for download, it would be extremely cumbersome and confusing if we didn’t name if after the ink configuration because people wouldn’t know if we used an arbitory name here, they might be set-up with a 2x4 and after they went to the trouble of downloading, they might realize that the media is a 1x6 profile. So by having the Media group is the ink configuration it makes it easy to identify Medias that work with what you have loaded in your machine. Our media name is our material name or whatever is descriptive to use, like a part # or manufacturer name to help us categorize it. Select the Media Group and type in a Media Name and Clic > Next The next screen is the actual ink configuration drop-down. This displays those settings we determined in our printer capabilities. This you have to choose from what’s enabled. Since it’s a four color printer, it’s > CMYK, we don’t have any light inks or Spot Colors Clic > Next Crear un Nuevo Medio Primeros pasos son darle un nombre ha su Medio y definando un Modo Crear un Nuevo Modo Combinacion de Resolucion y Trama de Punto para un Medio existante ONYX® Software for Superior Printing Workflow

For example, number of passes (4pass full overlap), Bi-directional, go to advanced settings if the printer has them available. Media Thickness or heater settings or any thing that is on the front panel of the printer that ONYX has access to controlling. Sometimes there are things the RIP controls and things the printer front panel controls. If we enable a selection here ONYX will override what the printer has selected. If we choose to not make a selection here and set the option on the front panel of the printer that will take precedence. It’s always good to know where your printers at if you choose not to set the option within ONYX, so that if something goes wrong with your profile, you don’t automatically make the assumption that you either did something wrong, or that the software isn’t working correctly. If you’re not going to use the controls in the printer driver, you should be aware of what your printer settings. This I something you might do when you first load the media as part of the printer maintenence and optimal printing conditions. If you want to determine what your front panel setting are set them there and know what they are, document them as part of your profile, or know when you get to media option here, you know what you want to control in the RIP, let the printer driver options take control over certain capabilities, or not. Page sizes – just disabling the page sizes you are not going to use within Media Manage while you’re profiling. (This doesn’t keep you from printing on different page sizes later) Clic > Next Add Mode, there is a warning page, that you can disable, generally do because I know I’m going to have to make a new mode if I want different printer settings for this material. You really don’t need to see this screen again. Clic > Next Mode Name – in this case, I’m going to name it pretty specific using Res/Dot pattern (720vardot_Stochastic). You can name it whatever you want like 720_bidrirectional_4pass…or 720MD_4P_BID however you want to do it. The Mode name is going to show up in three places within ONYX: QuickSet, Preflight, and Layout. Anywhere you have to tell the RIP what resolution you’re printing with, is where the mode is going to show up. That’s one of the reasons why we type the resolution in the mode name, because you could profile at a resolution and call your mode “1”. If you don’t put the resolution in the name the only way you’ll know what resolution you’re printing at is if you queue up a job and RC in RIP-Queue and go to the printer settings. Select the actual resolution and dot pattern from the drop down and Clic > next. Again, these options are those you selected from the printer capabilities. The next step is going to be variable dot slider if you have a variable dot printer <Drop Size>. If you’re not the next step is Ink restrictions. ONYX® Software for Superior Printing Workflow

You can do as many prints a you want on the advanced; I’m trying to narrow the gap by going flat in the middle, and half of the max, and half way to the min. If I need to print it again, then I can. This is determining our relationship between our small, medium and large drops. Now we’re looking at both the dot gain, saturation, but ink restriction is more for that, we just want to make sure we’re using the right combination of dot sizes to get good saturation, smoothness verses banding. Print swatch, when Print image comes up Clic > print. When it hits the RIP-Queue, it’s going to say “Wait for Media”, toggle over and Clic > change to select the Media Name you’ve just created. It’s not a bad time to verify that you have the right page size and placement options. Typically <Conserve Media> that way if anything’s wrong it doesn’t just automatically start printing.

Drop Size Control_Var Dot We’ve printed the drop size control swatches, and it looks like on this printer (Mutoh Falcon II), for this media is not over saturated and we got good dot gain, and we don’t have too grainy. We’re looking for smooth transitions, it’s not the final ink restriction or the final ink total or anything, it’ jus vardot relationships. You’re looking for varying amounts of small, med and large dots, and we decided to go with +5. +5 are going to use more of the large dots and less of the small dots. On the negative side we end up using more small dots and less large dots. Both -5 and +5 are going to have similar amounts of medium dots, but as you approach +10 and -10, you’re going to have the least amount of medium dots.

Use Basico o Avancado Se pude adelantar un paso para imprimir un imagen de prueba. Located in ONYX / Samples/ Profiling folder Busce problemas con mucha saturacion Si busca gama maxima, mantenga las restricciones lo mas alto posible. Tinta’s Light se pueden colocar ha 10-20% menos que la tinta oscura (C=75%, lc =65 o 55%), Unos solventes dejan que bajen la tinta light hasta 50% o menos (C=75%, lc=25%), Especialmente cuando esta perfilando Impresoras con colores spot. (CMYKOG, CMYKRGB, etc) Cada impresora y tinta es diferente. Estas son sugerencias At this point you can go the Basic route and select your ink restrictions on screen Or go the Advanced route by clicking on the tab. (Suggestion: go to the “Test Print” step and print out darkinkreastrictions.tif to determine and set values with the advanced route. 4) Ink Restrictions a) Basic Tab for 4 Color b) Advanced Tab for 6 Color or multi-level printers, take into account additional channels for total ink. Smaller % increments. c) Print Swatch i. Analyze output for max ink coverage to expand gamut ii.Visual Method or Density Method i. Focus on Single channels for 100% max density (higher/better) ii. Density Method for SWOP/EURO SWOP/IRIS etc… e) Print Test Image i. Verify settings > Ink Restriction Swatch ii. Focus on 2 color combinations for balance of RGB iii. During Ink Limit step (3 and 4 color combinations) Basic and Advanced tabs, if your doing a four color printer, there is no reason to use advance. There is just no advantage (unless you want to hand enter a finer % increment). However if you’re printing a six color that has light cyan/light magenta, or any other combination like a 12 color that has orange, red, green, blue, or multiple blacks – Absolutely do Advanced. If you don’t, the software is going to take what you set in Basic and arbitriually set those other channels and there is a real good chance you’re going to end up with way too much ink. Because the only thing that is going to print out with Basic is the four channels CMYK. Print the Advanced swatch if you’re going to do anything over four colors. This is printer specific so if you have multiple levels, you’ll see those channels and have the capability to set each channel separately. They would show as c1, c2, c3 etc… The first <Print Swatch> we’re doing here is without any ink restriction being applied (our control swatch) we’re just seeing (with whatever we set our vardot slider too). Like the percentage of small, med, large dots, we’re now going to get that percentage with 100% ink applied for all channels. Clic> Print Swatch> when Image size comes up Clic > Print Image. You have image size and you have the option to rotate or print the label, you can set the number of copies in RIP-Queue, if you want to print multiples over the length of the printer. Again if we were using Advanced and printing with a six color printer, when we Clic > Print swatch we’d get an output that has channels with the gradients.

Densidades buscadas Target C M Y K Densities SWOP(C) 1.3 1.6 1.09 1.8
SWOP(UC) IRIS EURO Determining Ink Restrictions Density_Visual_Balance Look at the SWOP densities, which is the technical way for determining ink restrictions. As opposed to the subjective visual method where you look at it with your eyes and just pick. First thing you might notice, (In the lab) we always start with magenta because almost every printer we deal with Cyan is so strong that I know I’m going to have to scale it way down. So I want to see what my magenta densities are first, at 100% it’s Looking at SWOP coated it’s impossible to hit, so what we’re left with is we can scale all of the channels back into relationship to what our magenta is and do the math to find the same scale, which ironically happens to be similar to SWOP uncoated. We’ll use those values which introduced another problem (Take density measurements using Xrite DTP414 densitometer for each swatch starting with 100% patch. As we notice the cyan values, in order to set that according to our SWOP, we’ll need to set cyan to 40 and if we leave magenta at 100, our profile is not going to work or look good. Let’s move on for a moment and look at yellow and black values. Measure the swatches and we can see yellow at 100% (95-98) and black between 70-75% (78). Look for areas of transition or jumps in values. The relationship between magenta, yellow and black doesn’t bother me, they seem balance, but the cyan does pose a problem. You also want to evaluate where you want the 100% to be when it rescales, but you’re also looking for balance. Usually you can keep cyan the same as black, In this example I’ll choose 75 for cyan and yellow because its visually close, come down a bit to keep them close in range (85). And leave magenta a 100 or go done to 90. As you can tell, there is the technical side of it, the visual side of it and the balance you want to keep in mind when determining ink restriction. You don’t need to be so strict with how you come but since we’re setting ink restrictions and we still have ink limiting, calibration and ICC do we really want to try to hit our target densities here. Probably we want to try to get close, but what happens is besides upsetting the balance by setting my cyan down too far, I don’t want to ruin the gamut. Visually you want to stay as high as possible, technically you want to be close to your target density, and balance wise you want to be in range so that no one channel is stronger or it will come out in your 3 color black gradients. Even if you print the basic swatch, if you decide to hand enter a more refined value, you could use the Advance tab to access those channels and input your value. That wouldn’t disrupt the workflow Chances are the cyan is still too high and if we print out the “Ink Restriction Swatch” we can see how our values are in our output and you could go back and make adjustments and reprint a many times as necessary.

ICC Profile Version – Version 2 y 4 disponible Onyx soporta version 4 que va eventualmente reemplazar 2. Predefined Based on some initial testing we added some predefined settings for the black generation and total ink limiting. If you do not select any of the predefined settings it is displayed as custom. Inks with light black: This means the printer has an inkset with light black. This allows us to start adding black way lower. Hence the start blacks are set at 0. Inks with light cyan and magenta: Having these light inks sets some limitations on starting black quicker. No light inks: This again gives us some leeway in allowing us to start black little lower. It should be remembered that these settings were selected based on our theoretical understanding. They might need to be changed once more testing on different media and printers is done. More predefines can be added easily or the current settings can be changed if we get feedback from users. Table Size This option decides the size of the output table in the printer profile. The accuracy of the profile, and the size, increases with the number of grid points (steps in the table). It also takes longer to build a larger table. 33 grid points is acceptable in majority cases. But, when output accuracy is of prime importance users should select 41 grid points. ICC Profile version ICC introduced a new profile version in 2001 as version 4 specification. Earlier version being version 2. Version 4 should be the default choice to build ICC profiles. As the latest specification, it has numerous improvements over earlier version in terms of flexibility and interoperability with other vendor profiles. ONYX® Software for Superior Printing Workflow

La opcion deja generar el perfil para una temperatura de luz especifica. Si conoce el standard CIE de la luz, se puede applicar en esta opcion.

No es necesario genarar la tabla grande si el ICC no se va ha usar en un flujo de Proofing. Balance de gris CMY Esta opcion es para asegurar que el gris es neutral basado en combinacion de CMY Viewing Light Source This option will be available only if using spectral data type to read swatches. This allows building an ICC profile for a non D50 based target lighting. These are basically standard illuminants specified by the CIE (International commission on illumination) A - This represents an incandescent light source like a tungsten filament. C - Represents average daylight. D50, D65, D93 These D-series illuminants represent different times of the day in an outdoor setting. D50 is a standard for Graphic Arts Industry. As the number increases from the light gets more bluish i.e. more bluish component is present. F1, F2, F3, F4, F5, F6, F7, F8, F9, F10, F11, F12 These are the fluorescent light simulators. Most indoor lighting try to simulate the F2, F7 or F11 illuminants. F2 is a typical cool white fluorescent source. F7 represents a broad band daylight fluorescent source. Examples of F7 are GE and Philips daylight fluorescent sources. F7 represents a narrow band white fluorescent source. Generally, if you know the type of lighting and the brand of the bulb you will be using to view the print, you can obtain the information from the manufacturer about the CIE standard illuminant they are simulating. Then, you can use that illuminant to build the profile. If the print will be viewed outdoors, then using either D50 or D65 will be appropriate. Use Large input profile size This is similar to the Table size option explained earlier, except this option allows user to build a bigger input table. Input table is used only when the profile is used as an input profile like for cmyk based images or in proofing workflows. If the profile is intended to be used for proofing, using a large input table is recommended. It increases the accuracy of the transform. Balance CMY Gray Checking this option makes sure that a neutral looking gray is obtained using the right amounts of CMY inks. Total ink limit This option allows for ink limiting using the ICC profile. ONYX® Software for Superior Printing Workflow

Generacion de Negro Curvas de Generacion de negro cambian como el negro reemplaza gris de CMY. MaxK – Super aggresivo, linear High – aggressivo, slight curve Moderate – recommendado, comparable ha GCR3 Medium – similar a GCR4 Low – no tan aggressivo Skeleton – negro minimo NoK – CMY solamente, sin negro Black Generation We have separated the gamut of the printer into chromatic and achromatic regions. Chromatic region includes the gamut surface colors i.e. highly saturated colors while the achromatic section has the neutral colors i.e. the grays. This gives the user total control over the gamut size that can be achieved using black generation. Start black and maximum black options are self explanatory. Black generation option determines the rate of black addition for the particular gamut region. MaxK is the most aggressive while NoK will not use any black. Having a lower start black for chromatic region allows us to achieve dark saturated colors increasing the gamut size. But this might not be always desirable for obvious reasons. So we now can increase the start black only for chromatic region without compromising on our neutral darks which could still be lower. The setting of these actual values needs some experience with the printer technology and with the profiler engine. ONYX® Software for Superior Printing Workflow

Generacion de Negro Las dos curvas de Generacion de Negro trabajan en conjunto. No se affecta una con otra Las Curvas son independiente una ha otra First let me try to explain why we need black generation for building ICC profiles. As we know, in an ICC profile we have the two tables that do conversion between device space (printer inks) and device independent space (Lab). If we have a CMYK ink printer, the conversion from Lab to CMYK becomes a little tricky because an exact same Lab value could be generated using different combinations of CMY and K. But we need to pick only one CMYK combination for each Lab value. Also, in some cases it might not be desirable to have dark saturated colors. That's where black generation comes in. By selecting a particular black generation we are pre-selecting a transform from Lab to CMYK and selecting a specific gamut too. The aim usually is to get as big a gamut as possible. But having a really big gamut is not always desirable because this might show some visible black dots. So we need a little more control on how we generate and shape that gamut. The start black values decide when to start adding black ink in the CMY combination. For example, lets say that the start black selected is 50. This will ensure that there is no black ink present when the minimum value of CMY is below 50. So, CMY patch values like (49, 49, 49), (49, 58, 75), (40, 100, 90), (0, 100, 100) will have 0 black, because the min of these is less than 50. In the graph that is shown, the x-axis is this minimum CMY value and the y-axis is the black ink that we will get for that min CMY with the corresponding settings of black generation. So to answer your questions: 1. If you notice, selecting different curves just changes the shape of the curve between the points start black (on x-axis) and max black. The curves change the rate of addition of black from that start black to the maximum black. So lets say for the "achromatic" settings, if you select MaxK the rate is linear (very aggressive) i.e. uses more black ink compared to using a CMY combination to get a particular Lab value. This rate goes on decreasing as you go towards NoK. I wouldn't necessarily compare these curves to the Logo curves. I would just say that changing the curve from MaxK to NoK reduces the rate at which black is added in proportion to the CMY inks. So, NoK uses just CMY inks and MaxK gives the most weightage to Black ink. The in between curves are just different levels between these two extremes. Lets take a look at how this affects the output. If you have light cyan or magenta inks, you might need to be less aggressive in adding black for your "chromatic" settings, so that black dots do not appear in your light saturated colors. Also, using more of CMY inks compared to black ink to generate a particular gray when using "achromatic" settings has a disadvantage. A CMY gray is less "Color constant" than a gray that uses more black ink, i.e. the CMY gray might not appear gray if you view the print in different illuminations. 2. You are right, the achromatic and chromatic black generations do the exact same thing. They just do that on different parts of the gamut. The resulting output is the combination of these two settings.These controls are for the portion of the curve from start black to the max black. It does not control the portion below start black. That portion is made of just CMY inks, that's why that portion is zero (no black output). 3. The two black generations are not competing with each other and work rather in coordination. So, there is no benefit of one over the other. You need to control each separately. If you do not want dark saturated colors, then put the start black higher with a less aggressive curve on the "chromatic" controls. But at the same time if you want your grays to be made of more black than CMY inks, then start the black little lower with a more aggressive curve on the "achromatic" settings. 4. Again, the two controls are independent. You do not have to keep them close. Just select the values that works best for your need. The two curves converge at the upper end only if the max black values for them are same. Achromatic = Gris Para negro’s que no tienen precencia de color. Esta Curva reemplaza colores con Negro.

The buttons to the right allow you to “Add Alias”, Search” and “Replace” the Pantone named colors in this section of the CMT. Typically you want to create an alias instead of replacing the name because you want to keep the Pantone named colors intact. Let’s do a search for the Onyx Pantone values… Since the “Process Color” formulation suffix is not in the table, we are going to create an “Alias” for them.

The alias function allows you to edit the Pantone names to conform to the naming conventions found in the PostScript file. Adding an Alias Because we are using values referenced with the “PC” (Process Color) formulation guide and I’ve already done a “Search” to see if that reference is in my table, I now know that I need to create an Alias for it to reference the Pantone number.

When you import a .tab file into RIP-Queue, the information gets “added” to the existing table, importing does not overwrite what is currently in the table. Any Questions working with the tables? Let’s look at Media Manager next… ONYX® Software for Superior Printing Workflow

Calculo de RIP Highlight Job>RIP Log
One final note about “RIP Log”… When you open a file, the RIP-Queue “Console” reports processing and rendering activity. You may notice a stream of information that alerts you to the fact that you have a Pantone color in your file that does not match one on the CMT. If you would like to see a report of that activity, do the following: highlight the job and click RIP Log on the right-hand side above the preview. 1. Highlight the job in RIP-Queue. 2. Click RIP Log. This button is located on the right-hand side above the preview. 3. The RIP Log will display that the “Image processed successfully!” if all of your color match or it will display a list of colors “Not Found”. If the color is not found (i.e. Pantone 300 CVC), default CMYK values will be used unless you create an Alias for that named color to reference one found in the table (i.e. PANTONE 300 C).

PostScript is literally a programming language designed to describe imags and borders, lines, fills, etc. and requires an interpreter which is why we need to use a RIP (reference PosterShop standard features slide which shows that you can only rip one PostScript file at a time). The Help Menu (or the pull down menu in the open dialog) can provide you with a list of file types that Onyx supports. Native file types are not supported because standard raster and postscript file types are more universal and more than sufficient. Therefore, there was no need to pay additional royalties. :) ONYX® Software for Superior Printing Workflow

Objetivos Facilitar impresión/Corte para multiples Imágenes
Soporte de diferente tipos de archivos Agregar, Modificar, Disponer Imagenes Crear Layout personalizado Ahorro de tiempo y medios Reimprimir Layouts RIP-Queue Conserve Medios Crear multiples anidamientos simultaneamente Objectives Layout gives you easy, hands-on control over multiple images. (Same supported file types as RIP-Queue) Instead of modifying and printing images one at a time, layout allows you to Add, Modify (each image independently) Arrange them to create custom nests. (Tech Note: create custom nests-manually drag-drop or auto-arrange using >Page Tools > Layout) Now, you can do all this from a single application. When you click the Print button, the layout is processed, sent to Rip-Queue as a single nested job and printed as a single image. You can reprint the job (from RIP-Queue) and even conserve more media if you configure RIP-Queue > Conserve Media > Options. (Tech Note: You can <nests> layouts). (Tech Note: Because the image is only processed at printing and not after each modification, your changes appear immediately. 2 stage processing-the image is halftoned to a single page and then creates a contone file that prints from RIP-Queue. This file is located in the work folder for the printer. Application Settings > Quality Options controls the speed/quality of this operation). <Workflow Chart Graphic Needed> This Layout workflow allows you to select your printer and media settings, add different images, modify the image using the image tools, customize the arrangement of your images on your media, then send the job as a single image to RIP-Queue. You also have the ability to work on multiple nests simultaneously, for different printers, media or output applications. ONYX® Software for Superior Printing Workflow

Let’s Navigate… When training start by navigating the UI-screen shot slide with call out captions for the (7-including tips) main areas of interest, go clockwise around the UI and highlight points. Navigation (clockwise) Top -Toolbar (Add, Delete, Clear All, Application Settings*, Help) Right - Page Preview (Page Preview Tools, Rulers, Pop-up Navigation) Bottom – Printer and Media Settings (Print and Print/Cut Workflow button, Device and media selections, Multiple Nests) Left – Image Tools for modification, the Page Tools tab controls your initial layout and cutter marks and job list for managing image in your nest. *Image Tools (More in depth Feature Set*), **Page Tools (Layout*, Cutter Marks*) Job List (files, pages, tiles, copies). Application Tool Bar – on the top, this is where you Add/Delete and Clear All Image(s), Application Settings (cover these setting later), Help icons. You can add multiple images of different support file types to the same layout. 2) Preview Tools – just below the tool bar, you have your page preview tools (see next slide for more). Tip: Pop-up Navigator, this is located in the lower right hand corner of the page preview, and you launch it by clicking the cross-hair. You now have a full preview of your page size and you can move the window and click to reposition the preview area. Alt/copy: You can navigate the page, (similar to Adobe)-show pop-up from lower right hand corner…And preview the entire “paste board” by clicking the right-hand cross-hair icon. This opens up a floating window that you can pan around and preview where you are in relation ship to the page. 3) Page Preview - on the right, this is where all the jobs on a page are displayed. Not only can you can drag and drop images to this area, you can drag and drop images around this area to move their position on the page. This page preview area represents the selected page or sheet size. (Tech Note: The rulers are turned on/off in Application Settings> Enable Rulers.) 4) Printer Media Settings – on the bottom of the screen, this is where you can set your specific printer and media selection for each nest. In he area, you’ll also see the <print>button, we’ll cover that more when we cover printing workflows. Tip: Use the arrow on the far left to minimize this entire section when not in use. 5) Image/Page Tools, Job List – on the left, this is where you modify your images, arrange layouts and track jobs in your nest. These options control most job settings. (Tech Note: Many of these features are similar to Preflight, but Layout does not have all of the same functionality as Preflight. See - Questions) Recommended Workflow Order : Application Settings first – so that all devices are available for setup and usage. Also for the desired appearance. Printer Media controls – do this second in order, printer, cutter, media, mode, page. Add Image (or Open files using drag-drop, multiple select, or right-click.

Managing Nests - You can create, delete, and rename nests by right-clicking on the bottom of the lower left hand corner of the application window. To switch between nests, click on the nest you want to view. Working with Multiple nests – Work on multiple nest (layouts), for different media or when printing or cutting to a different device. Each nest can have its own set of printing properties. Adding Images - You can drag and drop images into the page preview. Use the toolbar icon, or right-click. Right-click also allows you additional functionality: show progress, revert to original image settings, delete, or clear all. Tip: Creating custom layouts – To manually arrange an image, click and drag the image to a location on the page preview. With the image selected, use your cursor to move images around, resize by dragging the corners, or arrange automatically by selecting Page Tools Tab Page Tools Tab – controls your initial image layout* and how the images are displayed (and cutter marks* in a cutting workflow. ) ONYX® Software for Superior Printing Workflow

Importando Datos Define campos y permite editar datos manualmente
Textos, Imágenes, Códigos de barras Propiedades de configuración Crea, Guarda, e Importa datos como *.csv Columnas existentes Nuevas Columnas Inserta o Remueve columnas como sea necesario Importing Data – You can import data from a spread sheet, direct to a folder of images, or to a specific file. When you click > ok, the images are automatically created and displayed on the page preview, and insert the data in the pre-defined fields. When you first enable the tool, you’ll see one column that is pre-defined as a Text field. One workflow options is to <Insert Columns> and define the type of data for that field, then hand enter the information. To change the type of data for the specific filed, select the header and RC to select from Text, images, Barcode. In rev 3, there is a combo box that allows you to change the column type. Once you have your data in, click > Properties for more options…each <type> has a different set of options. For example text options include: font, style, color, size, wrapping and alignment Image and Barcode options include: fit and fill selections. (Explain more about each icon during the demo…) Another workflow options allows you to import the data from a spread sheet. If you click > Import, you’ll have a choice to import into an existing column – this will place all of the data into that one column…Or into <New Columns> - this will automatically create the necessary number of columns, found in the file you select. (Known Issue: If you import into existing columns, the first column remains (unchanged) text without any data being imported into that column and you may need to remove it if it’s not used. Resolved in rev3. now the columns that are imported reflect the file that is being imported.) You can also predefine the columns for the type of data you plan to import and when you have that column highlighted you can <import> specifically into that column. Or if you have created the exact number of columns for your job, importing into existing should fill in the fields accordingly. This helps retain the properties of the data you’re importing.

Layout vs. Preflight Layout is a placement tool with image editing capabilities Quick color correction Manually create custom WYSIWYG nests or use Layout Tools to auto arrange placement Layout processes jobs printed on the same media using the same input and output profiles Use Layout if you want to reprint nested layouts from RIP-Queue, you can not edit images within nested layouts once it’s been printed Supports files with <CutContour> cutting paths Automatically generate cut paths and allows for advanced preview of image and cut data Automatic and manual tiling, each tile is separate sheet/board Variable data feature Preflight is an image modification tool with image editing capabilities Advanced color correction and filters Submit jobs after modifications and uses RIP-Queue nesting placement strategies Process jobs where each image uses a different media and different input and output profiles Use Preflight if you need to reprint an individual job from RIP-Queue with different printing properties Supports files with <CutContour> cutting paths Automatic and manual tiling, submit tiles as separate jobs Use Preflight when you want to apply QuickSet settings Layout vs. Preflight Which one to use? Layout is a placement tool, allowing for image editing, manual placement and custom nesting of images that can be reprinted from RIP-Queue as a single job. Use Layout if you are processing images with the same media profile and you don’t plan to reedit the images after they have been printed. Layout can automatically generate cut paths and allows for advanced preview of image and cut data. Layout also has a variable data feature. Preflight is a job editing tool, allowing for modification of images on a per job basis and uses RIP-Queue nesting placement strategies. Use Preflight if you are processing files with different media, plan to use QuickSet settings and advanced color correction like filters. Both support color correction, tiling and cut paths. Preflight vs. Layout Questions: Like Preflight, Layout sends jobs to Rip-Queue for processing (Or you can print direct Application Settings > Image Options) Unlike Preflight-Layout does not use Quick Sets. Layout does not include Specialty Ink Tool (white Ink), or support Color Correction filters. ONYX® Software for Superior Printing Workflow

You now get the full gamut of any inks and media. Tech Note: Gretag Engine is influence by pre-press output. Onyx engine is influenced by inkjet output and is maximized for solvent and UV inks. Most mapping utilities show you “input” gamut which is CMYK to Lab. You will only see these improvements when building profiles with the ONYX ICC engine. Here you see the “output” gamut which is the Lab values to CMYK (what your printer is capable of achieving)-and see how much more expanded the gamut is… This means that when you use the ONYX engine to create your profiles, you’ll get more vivid prints… And 5-10% more Pantone matches.

Preguntas? ONYX® Software for Superior Printing Workflow
What default profiles are included in Version 7.0? All of the default input profiles in Version 7.0 are the same ones as in Version 6.5. This was done for color consistency between 6.5 and 7.0. All of the printer media profiles included on the 7.0 DVDs are the same as in Version 6.5. None have been re-built with a different color engine. This was done for color consistency between 6.5 and 7.0. Do 7.0 media libraries created with the ONYX Profile Generator work in Version 6.x or any other previous version? No. The .OML and .PRINTINST files in 7.0 are not compatible with versions prior to 7.0. Profiles created with ONYX Profile Generator in Version 7.0 – is there no encryption on the profiles and these profiles can be exported to another ProductionHouse, PosterShop or RIPCenter? The ONYX Profile Generator license included in ProductionHouse 7.0 is a full user license and the profiles are not encrypted. However, the End User License Agreement expressly limits users from distributing profiles. They can use profiles they build with the ONYX Profile Generator with their other ONYX 7.0 licensed products. However, they can not lawfully distribute them to other users in any form. (See the 7.0 EULA Section 5.E. for details) Why did ONYX develop their own ICC Build Engine? This was done primarily to provide our customers with an engine with specific color tools and technologies for large-format solvent and UV inkjet printing. Why would resellers recommend the ONYX engine over other profiling engines? We strongly recommend that Resellers perform their own color engine comparisons to determine which engine works best for their markets and customers. The ONYX engine was optimized for the unique challenges of large-format inkjet printing, including such issues as light ink transitions, inks not balanced for grey, low ink limit media, and non-standard primary inks. The ONYX engine also includes some propriety GCR technology that increases the useable gamut. These can all result in more accurate spot-color matching and more overall spot-color matches. Can 7.0 ProductionHouse customers use the ONYX Profile Generator to profile other RIPs or printers not supported by ONYX? No, the ONYX Profile Generator is for use with ONYX-supported printers only, using the ONYX RIP only. ONYX® Software for Superior Printing Workflow
