Hot folders and virtual printers can process color bar artwork that contains an object for white flood.
Requirements:
- A Matchprint Inkjet proofer with white ink, such as an Epson Stylus Pro WT7900 printer
- A layout with Color Confirmation enabled
- A media configuration with white ink enabled
- A proofer profile for the media configuration
- A simulation device link or a pair of ICC profiles
- A color library that contains a name and recipe for the object in the color bar artwork that defines white flood
- A PDF file of the color bar artwork that includes an object for white flood
During setup of the Certified Process for Color Confirmation for user-defined color bars, you can use a hot folder or virtual printer to color manage artwork that contains an object for white flood. A recipe from a color library defines white flood. Subsequent proofs that use the color bar must use the same recipe for white flood.
- In Proofer Viewer, from the Configure menu, select Hot Folders/Virtual Printers.
- Click New.
- Perform the following actions:
- In the Layout list, select a layout with Color Confirmation enabled.
- In the Media Configuration list, select a media configuration with white ink enabled.
- In the Halftone Handling list, select None.
- Set the remaining options as desired, and click Next.
- On the Spot Colors tab, perform the following actions:
- In the Handling list, select Don't map spot colors.
- Select Look up in spot color database.
- Select the library that contains a name and recipe for all objects in the input files that you want to print with white ink, including white flood and spot colors.
- On the ICC Settings tab, perform the following actions:
- In the Simulation Color Space area, click Advanced.
- Select a device link or a pair of ICC profiles, and click OK.
- On the White Settings tab, select do not use white flood.
Kodak Proofing Software will not add white flood to the proof because the artwork includes an object for white flood. - Set the remaining options as desired.
- Click Save.
