Plate sheets are printed after a plate set has been imaged and uniquely identify an imaged plate set of a sheet.
When is a plate set sheet printed?
The installed Prinect Manager variant determines the time when a pallet sheet is printed. The following variants are available, depending on whether only Prinect Prepress or Prinect Integration with Prinect Prepress and Prinect Press is installed as a prepress system:
•Prinect Prepress Standalone:
A plate set sheet is printed automatically as soon as you submit a sheet to an "ImpositionOutput" sequence (even if only a single separation is imaged).
•Prinect Prepress + Prinect Press:
A pallet sheet is printed automatically as soon as all plates necessary for the next printing operation have been imaged.
