Plate sheets are printed after imaging and uniquely identify an imaged plate set of a sheet.
When is a plate set sheet printed?
The manager you are using determines when a plate set sheet is printed.
•Prinect Prepress Manager Standalone:
A plate set sheet is printed automatically as soon as you submit a sheet to an "ImpositionOutput" sequence (even in case of a single separation).
•Prinect Prepress Manager + Prinect Pressroom Manager:
A pallet sheet is printed automatically as soon as all plates necessary for the next printing operation have been imaged.
What information will be printed?
The content of the plate set sheet varies according to the accompanying paper template you selected. By default, three templates are available:
