2.2.2. Alignment resp. fit of variable images

In this version, the methods and options for aligning and fit of variable images have been revised and simplified. The following options are available:

  1. Open the VDP Editor
  2. Create a placeholder for a variable image.
  3. Change to the control panel Image Format
  4. Define the alignment and image adjustment options in the settings area Image Settings

Figure 3: The Format tab with the alignment and image fit options for variable images

The following options are available for aligning the image in the placeholder:

  • Horizontal Align [5] – Images can be left-aligned, center-aligned, and right-aligned in the placeholder

Figure 4: The Horizontal Align options: Align to left edge - Align horizontally centered - Align to right edge

  • Vertical Align [6] – images can be aligned top, center and bottom in the placeholder.

Figure 5: The Vertical Align options: Align to top edge - Align to vertical center - Align to bottom edge

  • Image adjustment options [7] – Determine how the respective images in the placeholder should be adjusted proportionally. Two options are available:
    • Fit image - keep proportions: The variable image is displayed in its entirety. This may result in unprinted margins - depending on the selected horizontal and vertical alignment.
    • Fill image - keep proportions: The variable image is adjusted in the placeholder at the width or height. Parts of the image - depending on the selected horizontal and vertical alignment - can be cut off as a result.
  • Stretch [8] – Images are not fitted proportionally (distorted) in the placeholder. The horizontal as well as vertical alignment does not matter.

Figure 12: The Analyze tab with the new option Show Transparency Grid

No access to separations

As soon as the option Show Transparency Grid is activated, the individual color separations for process colors and spot colors can no longer be hidden or shown. Therefore, this option must be deactivated again.

2.4.2. »Page Geometry« – Adopt values to selected page(s)

Since version 1.12.0 it is possible to edit the size of the page geometry boxes intuitively. As of version 1.12.1 it is possible to determine to which pages of a multi-page document the entered values should be applied. Proceed as follows:

  1. Open a multi-page Article or a multi-page Print Item of an Order resp. Production Job.
  2. Open the PDF editor by double clicking on the Print Item preview.
  3. Therein choose the Page Geometry tab.
  4. Define the desired sizes and positions for the Page Geometry Boxes.
  5. Define for which page area [16]  of the document the changes should be adopted.

Figure 13: The Page Geometry tab with the possibility to apply values to page ranges

2.4.3. »Page Geometry« tab – warning for incorrect nesting

Basically, any position and size of the Page Geometry Boxes can be set. However, a certain order should be given for the nesting of the individual frames. When Page Geometry Boxes are not nested correctly according to ISO 15930 - the ISO standard for PDF/X - this is made visible by displaying warnings. The following constellations are to be avoided according to the ISO standard:

  • CropBox overlaps or is larger than MediaBox
  • TrimBox overlaps or is larger than BleedBox
  • Trimbox, BleedBox and/or ArtBox overlap or are larger than CropBox or MediaBox
  • ArtBox is smaller than TrimBox

As soon as the nesting of the Page Geometry Boxes in the PDF editor is not done as specified, corresponding warnings are issued. The following warnings may appear:

  • General Warning  [18] - this warning appears as soon as the recommendations from the PDF/X ISO standard are violated. Moving the mouse over the icon will display a warning that the Page Geometry Boxes have not been nested correctly. You can fix any of the occurred issues  by clicking the Automatic Correction [19]. This correction removes all warnings in one step by correcting the nesting for all Page Geometry Boxes. Please check afterwards if the correction also corresponds to your expectations.
  • Warning on the respective Page Geometry Box [17] – this warning appears for the Page Geometry Box that causes the warning. The values can be corrected manually, which will eventually make the warning disappear.

2.5. Kongsberg Cutters

In this version, the official standard specified by Kongsberg - ISCRIPT - has been implemented to offer full integration of the cutter. From version 1.12.1, the first stage of full integration is available. For this purpose, a new cutter type - Kongsberg iPC - is offered, which may be selected and created in the workflow.

When creating the cutter, the configuration - I-CUT PRODUCTION CONSOLE | i-script 2.0 | without JDF - is created, which can be modified and used accordingly.

Figure 15: The Add Cutter dialog with the new cutter device type Kongsberg iPC

First step of complete integration

In this version only the first step of the complete integration of the Kongsberg cutters is published. In the next versions this integration will be further developed and completed.

The integration in version 1.12.1 includes the file format proposed by Kongsberg and 1 QR code to read the necessary information. Working with multiple QR codes will be implemented in the next steps.

2.6. Data Preparation

In the course of development of version 1.12.1 a new fixup was added and already existing fixups were extended in functionality resp. in regard to usability.

2.6.1. New fixups

The following fixup was added in version 1.12.1:

Add Dieline for defined Text

The Add Dieline for defined Text fixup may be used to add an overprinting dieline for the defined text in the size of the texts frame.

Use this fixup if you want to cut out the label on the cutter as a separate area, in order to glue the label on the back of the Print Item.

Figure 16: The dialog for the Add Dieline for defined Text fixup

Derive Text from metadata

This fixup may currently only be performed for the defined text. In future versions it will be possible to derive the text from metadata information in order to use the fixup in an automated process.

2.6.2. Improvements in existing fixups

In version 1.12.1 the following fixups were improved as well as partly rebuilt.

Add Caption

The Add Caption fixup adds a caption - the selected text - to the selected edges in the specified position, font, size and color. Furthermore, in the advanced settings this caption can be provided with its own Dieline.

In the Basic Settings tab of this fixup the available fonts [20] in the workflow may be used to create the caption. It is also possible to create your own Dieline [21]  for the caption in the Advanced tab immediately after creating the caption.

Figure 17: The tabs Basic Settings and Advanced of the Add Caption dialog

Move Spot Color Objects to the foreground

The fixup Move Spot Color Objects to the foregound moves objects for the selected spot colors to the foreground. The objects of the first spot color are on the top level after application, spot colors named below are hierarchically arranged below.

In version 1.12.1 only the possibility to add or delete spot colors has been changed.

Figure 18: The edited Move Spot Color Objects to the foreground dialog

Create Colored Bleed

The fixup Create Colored Bleed creates a colored bleed - CMYK or spot color - to extend the background area.

With version 1.12.1 the fixup was extended with the possibility to create the color area for the bleed not only in CMYK but also as Spot Color. You can use system-wide defined spot colors in the selection menu or create a new spot color by clicking on the symbol [22].

Figure 19: The Create Colored Bleed dialog with the its new possibility to use spot colors at the same time

2.7. SDK versions

With version 1.12.1 a new SDK version is available. Therein some improvements were implemented and bugs on the part of the manufacturer were fixed. The following SDK version has been updated in this release:

  • Global Graphics HHR version 13.2 - Increase RIP speed for repeating elements in conjunction with the IHVD/EHVD option.

3. Improvements

The following improvements have also been implemented in version 1.12.1.

3.1. Duplicate Fixup Chains

In this version, the duplication of Fixup Chains has been revised. When performing this action, a dialog is now displayed in which the name and the automation key may be entered. Furthermore, from this version on, the uniqueness of the key is validated by internal checks and possible warnings are issued.

When duplicating Fixup Chains proceed as follows:

  1. Change to the menu Administration > Fixup Chains.
  2. Choose a Fixup Chain that is to be duplicated from the list of Fixup Chains.
  3. Activate Duplicate in the footer of the area.
  4. Choose the desired configuration in the dialog.
    • Rename definitions manually - Activate this option if you want to define a new name and a new key in advance. If this option remains deactivated, the name and also the key will be changed accordingly by the system, so that the designations become unique.
    • Name – Enter the desired name for the Fixup Chain which is to be duplicated. If nothing is changed, the name is changed by the system so that it remains unique. If a name is duplicated, then a corresponding message is issued, stating the name already exists.
    • Key – Enter the desired key for the fixup chain which is to be duplicated. If nothing is changed, the name of the key is changed by the system so that it remains unique. If a key is duplicated, then a corresponding message is issued, stating that this key already exists. Note that the key may only consist of capital letters and may not contain any special characters or spaces.

Figure 20: The Duplicate Fixup Chain dialog

3.2. Routines

In this version, the dialog for editing routines has been improved in its handling. Thereby, the user interface, the descriptions and the translations were adapted.

The following adaptions were made:

  • The input field for Initial delay has been removed, as this value has no effect on scheduling.
  • The name of the routine may be edited and appears in the list of routines.
  • The description of the routine is displayed in the dialog under the header.
  • If the Activated option is disabled, then all setting options are disabled.
