[. . . ] 3 3 ProofReady Plugin - Quick Reference Guide 3 Getting Started The way in which you create a page setup depends on the Harlequin RIP version that you are using. In the Eclipse Release or later of the Harlequin RIP, instant color management is possible by simply selecting a ProofReady profile. See Section 3. 2 on page 7 for details. TM In former RIPs, instant color management is possible by selecting a supplied calibration profile that includes a default color setup. See Section 3. 1 below for details. 3. 1 Creating a page setup in pre Eclipse Release RIPs To create a ProofReady page setup in versions of the Harlequin RIP prior to the Eclipse Release, you need to select a supplied calibration profile that includes a default color setup, as described in the procedure below. 4 AG50240P3 Rev. [. . . ] Note: If you are using a sheet-fed device, refer to the full manual for details on how to control top and bottom margins. Click Save As and enter a page setup name in the Save As text box. Click Save in the Save Setup dialog box and then OK in the Page Setup Manager. 6 AG50240P3 Rev. 3 ProofReady Plugin - Quick Reference Guide You can now use this page setup when printing to produce color managed output. 3. 2 Creating a page setup in Eclipse Release or later RIPs To create a ProofReady page setup in the Eclipse Release or later of the Harlequin RIP, you simply need to select a ProofReady profile, as described in the procedure below. For each numbered step of the procedure the corresponding numbers in Figure 3. 2 highlight where choices are made in the New Page Setup dialog box. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 Figure 3. 2 Creating a page setup in Eclipse Release or later RIPs AG50240P3 Rev. 3 7 ProofReady Plugin - Quick Reference Guide Open the Page Setup Manager and click New. Choose the device required from the Device menu. Click Configure device to modify configuration settings as desired. See the full manual for details of options. Choose a profile from the ProofReady menu that matches the currently selected ink/paper type. The correct resolution for the profile is automatically selected and should not be changed. For example, (D-E Commercial Matte 720) is a supplied profile for Dupont/Epson Commercial Matte Proofing Paper based on a resolution of 720 x 720 dpi. Use Genlin in the normal way to measure the printed target and create an import file. See the Harlequin RIP OEM Manual for details on how to use Genlin. In the RIP, open the Calibration (Dot Gain) Manager using the menu option Output > Calibration Manager. Choose the correct profile (the same name that you chose in step 2) from the Profile menu and click Import. A useful convention is to use the same name as the reference calibration profile used in the page setup. Reference calibration profiles are distinguished from user-generated calibration sets by the use of parentheses ( ) around the name. Click OK twice to close the dialog boxes. You can return to "Getting Started" on page 4 to create another page setup that uses this calibration set rather than the reference calibration profile. The calibration set that you have created includes the same default color setup as the profile chosen in step 2. 4. 2 Calibration in Eclipse Release or later RIPs The first time that you create a calibration set for an uncalibrated device, we recommend that you print and measure an uncalibrated target approximately three times to ensure that your calibration set is accurate. Once you have created an initial calibration set, the procedure to recalibrate the device requires that you print and measure a calibrated target just once. These procedures are described in Section 4. 2. 1 and Section 4. 2. 2 below. 4. 2. 1 Calibrating a new device You should follow these steps when calibrating a device for the first time using the Eclipse Release or later of the Harlequin RIP: 1. [. . . ] In step 6, you must also select the latest calibration set in the Calibration Manager and click Edit from uncalibrated target instead of clicking New. Save the final calibration set with an appropriate name, for example, Dye D-E Commercial Matte 720-F. You should remove all the intermediate calibration sets, for example D-E Commercial Matte 720-1, D-E Commercial Matte 720-2 and so on from the Calibration Manager. Modify your page setup so that it uses the final calibration set. [. . . ]
