Configure a final output process template to generate a PPF file (or a text file if you will manually enter the ink key settings) for each separation. When you use this final output process template, PrintLink automatically generates PPF files from the secondary server and then outputs the files to the designated directory on the PPF file reader workstation.
Note: When you require user-readable ink key settings because you will manually enter the ink key settings in the press console, the resulting ink key settings files are text (.txt
) files, not PPF files.
For more information, see Creating a process template for an ink report and Setting up the ink report daemon (to monitor the hot folder).
Note: A higher resolution improves the preview image quality and may improve the ink key print accuracy. However, a higher resolution may also increase the processing time and file sizes.
Choose where to put the PPF files:
Location | Do This |
---|---|
Inside the job folder |
|
Outside the job folder | Click Browse and select the location. The Put Files in Directory box lists the file path. |
Important: Ensure that the directory you select has enough space to receive the PPF files generated by PrintLink.
