  1. Locate the imposed PostScript file ImposedFlat_OPI.ps file.
    This file requires Prinergy Evo to interpret OPI comments and place the high-resolution image files in the refined PDF. Prinergy Evo users should know which of their supplied input files will require image replacement.
  2. Submit ImposedFlat_OPI.ps to the Prinergy Evo default RefineToPDF-OPI process template.
    If you need more information about OPI image replacement or other graphic arts digital workflows or concepts, you may find PocketPal: A Graphic Arts Production Handbook (18th edition or newer) helpful. This book is produced by International Paper.
  3. Observe that the refine process fails. Use Item History in the Process Viewer to check why the process failed.
  4. Start the Process Template Editor and open the default RefineToPDF-OPI-Factory process template.
  5. Note which options are currently shown in the Normalize area, in the Images box.
    These options determine how Prinergy Evo handles images and image replacement.
  6. Next to the Search Path Order box, click Add.
  7. Select a location where Prinergy Evo will search for images referenced by OPI comments contained in input files.
    1. Under the File menu select Save as.
    2. From the list at the top of the Save Process Template window, select Process Templates.
    3. Select a folder to store the new process template.
    4. Name the process template. For example, Refine to PDF-OPI-Activity12.
  8. In the File Browser dialog box, browse to  the Activity 12 folder, select the Images folder, and click Select "Images".
    Prinergy Evo also supports relative image search paths.
  9. Save the process template with a new name—for example, YourNameActivity12—and then close the Process Template Editor.
  10. Submit ImposedFlat_OPI.ps to your new YourNameActivity12 process template.
  11. Use Item History in the Process Viewer to observe the messages that Prinergy Evo provides while it processes the file.
    1. Select View by Process.
    2. Select the ImposedFlat_OPI.ps process.
    3. Click Item History. 
  12. When the process is complete, go to the Activity 12 folder and inspect the new PDF file in Acrobat.
    • Note that the file shows an imposed flat, rather than a single page. This is called a flat-based imposition to distinguish this type of imposition file and workflow from a page-based imposition file, which uses a PJTF or JDF to link an imposition to pages and marks.
    • You should now see all images that were used in the file.
  • No labels
