Tell me about the preview

 

Job preview

The job preview in the settings of a virtual printer or job allows you to verify the settings you have made. The preview is available in the Print settings, Layout, and Slugline areas.

There are two preview types:

  • Schematic preview
  • Preview of the real job

Schematic preview

The schematic preview shows the effect of settings made in the Layout area for printers and for jobs not yet ripped.

Example:

 

 

Preview of the real job

For jobs already processed or jobs where the Hold job before printing option is enabled, a job preview is generated. The preview features several further options.

Example:

 

The job preview is generated by a RIP run of its own as soon as a job is started. This preview is no substitute for the actual output and is therefore not suitable for proofing purposes. However, it may, for example, be convenient for identifying jobs already printed that are to be reprinted or for checking the layout.

Clicking the preview image opens another browser window showing an enlarged preview picture. You can view each single page of the job in this window and zoom in and out if required. Please note when zooming in that the preview displays the result of a specific RIP run with a low resolution and zooming in therefore does not yield a better resolution.

The problem is neon color in the preview
