New
video tutorial: "What is the Color Library?"
Discover how the new Color Library in Prinect
Production brings consistency and efficiency to your color management. By
centrally storing all color data in a single, synchronized database, it
ensures consistent color target values across all connected systems — from
prepress to press. Say goodbye to outdated color tables and time-consuming
manual corrections. Instead, benefit from a seamless workflow with fewer
sources of error and significantly accelerated production processes.

If an EVD file contains several layouts, these layouts are displayed when you
open it so that you can select which layout you want to import.

Adopting
the orientation of the folding sheet from the layout of the original job
In the case of ganging optimization without layout, jobs are placed on the
print sheet with the orientation 0° or 270°. Rotations of 180° or 90° are now
also possible if this is specified in the product part template or the source
job sdf.
|
|
|
|
Sheetbrake
search enabled by default
For printing forms with back printing, the Signa Station automatically
searches for free areas for the sheet brakes in the layout and writes their
position into the JDF. This allows these areas to be communicated to the
press and evaluated there (depending on the press). The press can then move
to the appropriate areas according to the current sheet brake configuration.
