The following tabs are available in the "Page properties" view:
•"Colors" tab
In this tab, you can view the properties of page lists.
"Name" box
If necessary, you can change the name of the page list.
The other information cannot be changed here.
A description of most of this information can be found here: Columns in the Page Lists view.
Here you can view information about the colors in the selected page list. You can change the print order by vertically dragging and dropping the color patches. Further information can be found here: "Colors" Group.
"List of colors" list box
You can choose between the following views:
•All Colors
The table displays all colors defined in the job.
•Existing Colors
The table only displays the colors that are available in the currently selected element (layout, sheet, surface).
Prerequisite: Existing colors are only displayed if pages have already been assigned to the page list, as the "existing colors" refer to the colors contained in the page contents.
This is where you define what will happen with the selected color. To do this, click on the corresponding color(s) (multiple items can be selected). Then select one of the following parameters from the drop-down list.
Note: If you select multiple colors, the selected destination will be defined for all selected colors.
•Output
The color is only output in the master version, i.e. all other versions are not output. If you want all versions to be output, you must enable the "Output (every version)" option.
•Output (every version)
In versioned jobs, the color is output in every existing version.
•Process
This option is only available for spot colors and causes the selected spot color(s) to be converted to process colors for output.
•Ignore
The color is ignored for output.
•Full Varnish:
This option is only available for spot colors. A "Full Varnish" color is ignored during CTP output (no plate is created) but the color still contains a color code. This color type is intended for varnishes that are applied to the entire print result after the other color separations have been printed. A full varnish is not assigned to a specific color separation and therefore does not receive a plate product ID.
•Spot Varnish:
This option is only available for spot colors. A "Spot Varnish" color is applied to a certain color separation after printing. This means that the varnish is assigned to a certain process color (spot varnish color). A plate is not generated from a spot varnish as well, however a spot varnish is assigned to a specific plate. Accordingly, a plate product ID is assigned automatically to a spot varnish.
If a color whose printing plate still does not have a plate product ID is set to "Spot Varnish", a dialog displays where you must enter the missing plate product ID. This plate product ID must be unique. In other words it must not be the plate product ID of a separation that is not a spot varnish. This is included in the "Assign Plate Product ID" dialog. A warning displays if applicable. If a spot varnish plate product ID was already assigned, you can assign this plate product ID to another spot varnish color.
Note: You decide between "Full Varnish" and "Spot Varnish" only at this point and not in the "Colors" section. Only the "Varnish" property is assigned there.
•Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, Black or Spot Colors
If one of these options is selected, the selected color is mapped to another color, i.e. redirected. A color that has been assigned to another color in this way shows the property "Alias" in the "Defined" column.
