Follow this procedure to set up a process template before you send files to a digital printer.

  1. Prepare the digital printer by ensuring that:
    • The print queue or hot folder of the digital printer specifies the imposition method, such as saddle stitch or perfect bound.
    • You know the location of the print queue or hot folder, so that you can identify it in the process template in step 8 of this procedure.
  2. Create a new process template and select:
    • Output from PDF to create a process template that you can use to send individual pages or page sets to a digital printer
    • Output from imposition to create a process template that you can use to send an imposition plan to a digital printer
  3. From the Output To list, select either PDF (Vector output) or PDF Raster.

    1. Select the Match Colors section and expand it.
    2. In the Proof Profile box, type or locate the ICC profile of the printer to ensure that colors are matched.
