As long as the channels used in the ICC profile are available in the set of channels defined during the linearisation. At this point an industry normalisation profile from FOGRA or GRACol or a custom profile can be chosen. ProfilingĪfter setting up the linearisation for the chosen channels the wizard will offer to select a default ICC profile for this device. Or print the wedge, located in the application directory, using another method. Use the print button to send the “Silk calibration wedge.pdf” to the printer. After selecting an existing point pressing Delete/Backspace will remove the point from the curve. Or click in the graph to add a point and move it.

Only if the job has those channels they will be used.

Unlike with other printers this will not result in those channels actually being added to the job. Using the + and – buttons more ink channels (and thus linearisations) can be added/removed. When a channel in the job is present with the name specified here those halftone settings are copied.

The inks are presets for later jobs to be send to the printer. The process starts by assuming an CMYK as ink set. Linearisation of silkscreen presses differs from linearising other digital presses. Please note that the printer/queue selection selection page will be skipped when a printer is selected already in the main window it’s printer filter. The Silkscreen calibration wizard is invoked when creating a new VISU PMM and when in the printer/queue selection page a Silkscreen printing queue has been selected. PrintFactory 6.3.2 or higher is needed.You can include tiling alignment marks by enabling the Tiling marks check box. % of page width - lets you specify the percentage of the page width the tiles will occupy Tile overlap - lets you specify the amount by which to overlap tiles In the Image position and size area, enable the Print tiled pages check box. For more information, see Working with imposition layouts. You can also choose an imposition layout, such as 2 x 2 (4-up) or 2 x 3 (6-up), from the Imposition layout list box. Reposition images to - lets you reposition the print job by choosing a position from the list boxĮnabling the Reposition images to option lets you specify size, position, and scale in the corresponding boxes. In the Image position and size area, enable one of the following options:Īs in document - maintains the image size as it is in the documentįit to page - sizes and positions the print job to fit to a printed page To specify the size and position of a print job You would, for example, tile a print job that is larger than your printer paper.
