In the "Manual" Mode overlap mode, a Dieline encloses the overlap, which is set manually for each Tile. The overlap can be configured separately for each tile. This means the overlap can look different for Tile 1 and Tile 2.

Proceed as follows to configure the tiles manually:

1. Select the Overlap Mode Manual.
2. Switch to Tile View [13].
3. Use the page navigation [12] to navigate to the desired Tile.
4. Determine the values for the Overlap [16] and the Printed Overlap [19].
5. The number in the yellow bubbles shows how many tiles have separate configurations for Overlap [14] and Printed Overlap [17].
6. Use the page navigation [12] to switch to the next tile. Again, specify the desired values for the currently selected tile.

Figure 8: A Tile in the Manual Overlap Mode with different parameters for Tile 2

7. Alternatively, enter the values for the Overlap and the Printed Overlap in one dialog. Consequently, click Configure Overlap [15] or Configure Printed Overlaps [18].
8. In the respective dialog e.g. Printed Overlap, click on the values [19] that should be changed.
9. A separate window opens in which you can edit the values for the respective tile again.
10. Click on Save [21] to save these values.
11. Confirm the values again by clicking Save [20] to apply them to the Imposition or Reset the changes you have made.

Figure 9: The dialog Overlap Configuration

In the Only for Overlaps mode [22], the Dieline encloses the overlap - excluding the outer borders - on both sides. Please note that editing the values in this mode is only possible in the Overall View [23]!

Figure 10: A tile in the Overlap Mode Only for Overlaps

In the overlap mode Overlaps and Outer Borders [24] the Dieline encloses the overlap on all sides of the Tile as well as the edges of the Tile. Please note - editing the values in this mode is only available in the Overall View [25]!

Figure 11: The Overlap Mode Overlaps and Outer Borders

The overlap mode Adapted to Construction [26] corresponds to the previous behavior in Tiling mode. In this overlap mode, the Dieline only encloses the defined overlap in the construction direction. Please note - editing the values in this mode is only possile in the Overall View [27]!

The Fixup Add Wind Slits can be used to create a grid of wind slits in the selected size according to the defined number of columns and rows. By entering the offset for top/left and bottom/right, the position for the top left and bottom right wind slit can be defined in the grid.

Figure 15: The Basic Settings tab in the dialog of the Fixup Add Wind Slits

The following options are available for creating wind slits:

• Templates [36] - Settings selected in the dialog can be saved as a template and thus applied to other Articles/Print Items.

Basic Settings

• Number of Columns [37] – specify the number of wind slits in the horizontal direction.
• Number of Rows [43] – specify the number of wind slits in the vertical direction.
• Offset [38] – determine how far away from the edge (ImageBox) the top/bottom and leftmost/rightmost point of a wind slit should be placed.
• Diameter horizontal [39] – determine the width of the semicircle that will be placed as a wind slit on the Print Item. Please note that you enter the diameter of a circle. The semicircle is therefore only half of the circle.
• Diameter vertical [44] – determine the height of the semicircle that will be placed as a wind slit on the Print Item. Please note that you enter the diameter of a circle. The semicircle is therefore only half of the circle.
• Spot Color Name [40] – select the Spot Color with which the Dieline for the wind slits should be created. As a general rule opt for a system-wide technical Spot Color that is available for selection alongside all other system-wide Spot Colors.
• Line Width [41] – define the line width of the Dieline.
• Rotate [45] – if, for whatever reason, the wind slits have to be rotated, select this option. The following options are available:
  • 180° – the wind slit will be rotated by 180°.
  • 90° counterclockwise – the wind slit will be rotated 90° counterclockwise – i.e. 270°.
  • 90° clockwise – the wind slit will be rotated 90° clockwise.
  • 0° (Apply page rotation parameter only) – the wind slits themselves are not rotated. However, if a side rotation is set, this option will be carried out.

Advanced

• Layer Name [46] – enter the name of the Layer on which the wind slits should be created. If you don’t want to create a separate Layer, remove the name from the input field.
• Conformity of Processing Steps according to ISO 19593-1 [47] – Wind slits should be created by default in accordance with ISO 19593-1 on the Structural layer in the Structural group of the Cutting type. Further information on the ISO standard can be found in the description Processing Steps ISO 15931-1.

The Fixup Scale Page Content - Width and Height can be used to scale the page content of the TrimBox to a specific size by entering the target size for the width and height. The existing Bleed is adjusted according to the scaling.

Figure 16: The dialog of the new fixup Scale Page Content - Width and Height

The following options can be used to scale the page content by specifying the target width and target height:

• Template [48] – settings selected in the dialog can be saved as a template and thus applied to other Articles/Print Items.
• Scale Method [49] – select which scale method should be used. The following options are available in the selection menu:
  • Fit from inside (Scale page edges proportionally) – scales the image area of the ImageBox to the specified size. Only the resolution of the images is adjusted according to the enlargement or reduction as the proportions are retained. The short edge of the target size is used for the calculation. Please note that if you enter a value for the Width and the Height, the other value is adjusted accordingly.
  • Fit from inside (Add white space) – with this sizing option, the user can enter the value for the Width and the value for the Height independently of each other. This means that the aspect ratio usually no longer remains proportional to the original size. Furthermore, the image area of the ImageBox is fitted to the specified Width or Height and accordingly filled with a white space.
  • Fit from outside (Cut page) – with this option, the user can enter the value for the Width as well as the value for the Height independently of each other. This means that the aspect ratio usually no longer remains proportional to the original size. Furthermore, the image area of the ImageBox is adjusted to the specified Width or Height and the image is cropped.
  • Fit from outside (Scale page edges proportionally) – scales the image area to fit the specified size from the outside. As the proportions are retained, only the resolution of the images is adjusted according to the enlargement or reduction. The Width and the Height of the target file is used for the calculation. Please note that if you enter a value for the Width and the Height, the other value is adjusted accordingly.
  • Stretch to fill – with this scaling option, the user can enter the value for the Width and the value for the Height independently of each other. The image box is completely filled with the image, even if the image area has to be distorted disproportionately as a result.
• Scaling by percentage [50] – shows the current scaling of the Width and Height of the TrimBox with 100%. By entering a different value, the Width and Height of the TrimBox are recreated based on the selected scaling method.
• Scaling absolute [51] – shows the current scaling of the Width and Height of the TrimBox with 100%. By entering a different value, the Width and Height of the TrimBox are recreated based on the selected scaling method.
• Width [52] – the value for the target size for the width is entered here.
• Height [54] – the value for the target value for the height is entered here.
• Pages [53] – for multi-page files, it is possible to select the pages that should be scaled. Examples for entering the page selection are provided in the infobox [55]. The following entries can have an effect on the page selection:
  • All – All pages are scaled.
  • 8 – Page 8 is scaled.
  • 1-6 – Pages 1 to 6 are scaled.
  • -3-1 – the last 3 pages are scaled.
  • even – all even pages are scaled.
  • odd – alle odd pages are formated.
  • 1-5,8,13-16 – pages 1 to 5, page 8 as well as pages 13 to 16 are scaled.

Forthis Fixup, the user guidance has been improved and the Blend Mode [55] for the line that should be created was added. Find a detailed description of the Fixup in the article Create Line on selected Box.

Figure 17: The dialog of the Fixup Create Line on selected Box

Depending on the Total Ink Coverage the Fixup Create Spot Color depending on Total Ink Coverage can create a separation in the selected Spot Color from the current page content. The higher the total color ink coverage, the lower the percentage value of the ink coverage in the separation. Use this Fixup, for example, to create a white channel dependent on the total ink coverage - or any other system-wide defined Spot Color - to reduce ink costs or ink application. The following new feature is available from version 1.17.1:

• Exclude Spot Colors that are defined as "Output as Separation" [56] – by activating this option, all system-wide defined Spot Colors that are defined as "Output as Separation" are excluded from the Fixups.

At first glance, no changes have been made in the Fixup Crop to Visible Area. However, in 1.17.1 the functionality has been improved so that the TrimBox remains on the visible area of the Print Item, while the BleedBox is placed on the safety margin.

Figure 19: The dialog of the Fixup Crop to Visible Area

With the Fixup Add Grommets/Drillholes add grommets or drillholes to the selected horizontal or vertical edges. Select whether a certain number of grommets should be added or define the spacing. Define the size and color of the grommets/drillholes that should be created in the "Advanced" tab. The following new features are available from version 1.17.1:

• Create Grommets for [57] – In this selection field choose whether grommets or drillholes should be created from the ImageBox or the ImageBox + Bleed.
• Offset (Top, Left, Bottom, Right) [58] – it's only possible to enter positive values that shift the offset of the grommets inwards from the selected box.

Figure 20: The dialog of the Fixup Add Grommets/Drillholes with the new options

With the Fixup Set TrimBox to the Dieline it is possible to set the TrimBox to the selected Dieline and the BleedBox at a defined distance from the TrimBox. The Print Item is then cropped to the BleedBox. The following new features are available from version 1.17.1:

• Select Dieline [59] – the "Overprint status" of the selected Spot Color is displayed in the selection list from this version onward.
