Why you should complete this activity

This activity will demonstrate the benefits of an OPI workflow, especially for a flat-based imposition workflow.

If high-resolution images for an input file are not embedded in the file, you can specify OPI replacement image paths that specify the location or locations of the images. OPI paths can be used to search within local folders, mapped drives, or network locations that Prinergy Evo software has permission to access. If your input file's images are located in two or more folders, you can add a search path for each image folder and then specify the order that you want Prinergy Evo software to search the folders.

Time required to complete this activity

What you'll learn

• How different Prinergy Evo factory default refine process templates handle OPI image references
• How to configure OPI image search options in a refine process template
• How to distinguish flat-based imposition files from page-based imposition files

What you'll need

In the location to which you extracted the activity files, find the Activity 12 folder and these files: 

• ImposedFlat_OPI.ps
• The files in the Images folder

Or, if you prefer to use your own files, find:

• A PostScript imposed flat input file that uses OPI reference to high-resolution images located elsewhere
• The high-resolution image files referenced in the PostScript input file

What you'll do

• Interpret Process Viewer messages about image replacement.
• Modify refine process template options to specify an image search path, so that Prinergy Evo Normalizer can resolve OPI image references.
