Preserving cutting data from Preps

Use this procedure to preserve cutting data in a Preps imposition so that the data is available for a downstream cutting system.

1. From a Preps Pro job, print a PJTF with the Embed CIP3 Cutting Data option selected in the Print dialog box.
2. Import the PJTF into a Prinergy job.
3. When outputting to final output, in the Press Interface box of the PrintLink section, select Heidelberg CPC32 Version 2.0.

A PPF file is created in the folder as specified in the process template.
Add this PPF file to your cutting software.

Note: To have the print dialog option Embed CIP3 Cutting Data automatically enabled on output add this preference to your configuration file.
