File Formats
Prinergy VPS+ software will open preview files with file name extension .VPS produced by Prinergy workflows.
VPS+ will also open high-resolution TIFF files with a file name extension of .TIF, provided they are 1-bit files.
Additionally, VPS+ can open LEN files for viewing.
Prinergy Output
When outputting files form Prinergy, always select Advanced TIFF Tags in Prinergy Output Process Templates, in order to embed color definitions and geometry information in VPS and TIFF files. If Advanced TIFF Tags are included in the files, VPS+ will recognize spot color names and display their color equivalents.
VPS+ is able to extract geometric information (such as trim size, bleed and imposition page number) for imposed VPS/TIFFs output from Prinergy workflow systems. This geometry and position information is written as proprietary Kodak tags into the headers of the files. VPS+ has UI selections that allow display of imposition information, press sheet, page and bleed edges, page numbers and type safety edges.
There is no ISO standard for imposition tags, so VPS+ is not able to read proprietary imposition tags from TIFFs produced by other workflow systems.
