A default color setup can be identified for a Prinergy job at the time the job is created, or afterwards. The default color setup provides all of the necessary color control elements for different processes in a Prinergy workflow, including the refine, loose 1-up artwork output, layout output, and final output processes.
If needing to use a different color setup once a default color setup has been defined for a job, a new color setup can be selected in the refine process template. Color setups selected in a refine process template will override the job's default color setup.
- Start Prinergy Workshop.
- In Job Finder, right-click your group (XX_Main Group) and choose New Job.
- Type the name
XX_ColorFlow(where XX is your initials). - In the Options section of the dialog box, select Job Attributes.
- In the Set Job Attributes dialog box, locate the ColorFlow area.
- Place a check mark beside Enable ColorFlow.
The ColorFlow job attribute defines a default color setup to be used as part of the job. The default color setup will provide color control elements to be used for various processes in the Prinergy workflow.
If required, the default color setup for a job can be changed during the refine process. - In the Default Color Setup list, select a color setup. For the purposes of this activity, select Sample Color Setup. The Sample Color Setup is shipped with the Prinergy system. Click OK.
A default color setup is a collection of several device conditions and color control elements (curves, device profiles, and device link profiles) that are required to match a common target on all reproduction devices.
When you refine a job's input files using a refine process template in which ColorFlow is enabled, the color setup that is assigned to the refined 1-Up Artwork is either the default color setup for the job, or a different color setup depending on how the refine process template is configured.
The default snapshot can also be defined. The default snapshot is Approved and the other available option is Current State. For the purposes of this activity, select Approved. - In the Create New Job dialog box, click Create.
