Setting up the first press sheet
When you start to build a press sheet for a job, you can use an
existing Preps template that contains a signature with a suitable
predefined layout, or you can build an entirely new press sheet layout:
• If a suitable template exists that closely matches the job
requirements, you can select and add a template signature and
modify it as needed for this job. The original template remains
unchanged.
• If no suitable template exists, you can start an entirely new layout
by adding a media object to represent the plate size, or a stock
object to represent the paper size, or both of these resources.
Creating a press sheet using a template
1. Open an existing job or start a new job.
2. Add a new blank press sheet based on the current sheet or on
another sheet, or work with the current sheet.
3. In the Templates list, expand or collapse folders by clicking the
triangles, until you find the template that you want.
4. Click the template triangle to expand its list of signatures.
5. Double-click a signature or drag it to the workspace.
Starting a completely new press sheet
1. Start a new job (COMMAND/CTRL+N) or insert a new press sheet
(COMMAND/CTRL+T) into an existing job.
2. Add the resources that define the press sheet size. You can drag a
resource to a position, or double-click it to add it in its default
position.
If you start a press sheet with media only and no stock: When you
print, you can choose to print to a stock size that is the same as the
press sheet’s media size. Or you can cancel and return to the press
sheet to add a stock.
If you start a press sheet with stock only and no media: When you
print, you can choose to print to a virtual Press Sheet Size device,
which sets the media to be the same size as the press sheet’s stock.
Or you can cancel and return to the press sheet to add a media.
