Messaging When Asked About What They Wanted in a Next Generation RIP Workflow People Said: “Reduce my production costs without compromising quality” “I need more production automation” “I need to stay competitive on color quality and price “ It can be difficult and time consuming to profile new media” “PDF Files not being handled correctly costs me time and money!” “I need greater control over my workflow and output quality”

Messaging What’s New In X 10 Flexible and Automated Print & Cut Workflow Improved Profiling Process Better File Handling & Enhanced User Experience

High Level Overview Flexible and Automated Print & Cut Workflow

High Level Overview Quick Set Changes We consolidated all of the Cutter options to the main dialog of the Quick Set Cutter Path Prefix is now enabled by default

High Level Overview RIP-Queue Considers Cutter Selection for Nesting and Unattended Printing Added Contour Cutter as a Job List column Jobs are nested based on Cutter selection “I need greater control over my workflow and output quality”

High Level Overview Automated Application of Setting And Path Control Tools Automatically select predefined cutter settings through Cut. Contour suffix Layers in design create layers in cutting Disable layers by un-checking boxes Select any cut path and hide or delete it from cutting More Detailed information in the Cutting Workflow training

High Level Overview Improved Profiling Process

Improved Profiling Process Easily Navigate Through Media Manager

High Level Overview Fast Easy Profiling Advanced tools hidden by default Streamlined UI and Easy to follow Steps “I need to stay competitive on color quality and price “ It can be difficult and time consuming to profile new media”

Automated Ink Restrictions Print and Read Ink Restriction swatch for most printers Use the Ink Restriction print dialog to eliminate bleeding per channel Ability to adjust Ink Restrictions under Advanced “Black Diamond” step “ It can be difficult and time consuming to profile new media” “I need greater control over my workflow and output quality”

Streamlined Calibration Print > Read > Next Automated Profiling One Step Calibration Target Densities under Black Diamond “ It can be difficult and time consuming to profile new media” “I need greater control over my workflow and output quality”

New Basic Ink Limit Advanced Tools for grater Control Multiple Ink Limit Options Simple swatch for easy selection Only non-automated step “ It can be difficult and time consuming to profile new media” “I need greater control over my workflow and output quality”

Dynamic ICC Build Options and New Enhanced Color Gamut Mapping ICC Presets auto select based on Ink Configuration ICC Options under Black Diamond “ It can be difficult and time consuming to profile new media” “I need greater control over my workflow and output quality”

Improve i-1 Device Support Switch between Patch and Strip mode on the fly Default mode is determined by which device the swatch is printed with Swatch read with a high variance highlight in red May not be wrong, simply a warning More information can be found in the Profiling Workflow training

Notes about drivers & new ink restrictions technology Some drivers do not have new ink restrictions technology ü Existing profiles still work Some drivers that have new technology may not work for every mode ü Please let us know if you encounter a problem ü Please use the legacy profiling process as a work around Virtual Pixel resolutions are not supported in new technology OEM Dot Patterns are not supported in new technology

Better File Handling & Enhanced User Experience

Other New Features in X 10 Streamlined Quick Set UI Moved some of the most common items to the Basic Quickset screen Smart 16 -Bit Processing Added to ONYX 32 -Bit color engine for better color while maintaining production speed Job Based RIP Options Take Advantage of professional tools to set and define workflows that easily handle more complex jobs ONYX Links™ Web Customer Support Integration Easily Access Support Resources and Keep Production Going Native PDF/PS Raster Image Processing For more reliable and optimized file processing “Reduce my production costs without compromising quality” “I need to stay competitive on color quality and price “PDF Files not being handled correctly costs me time and money!”

UI changes New look and feel New banner with easy to find icons Clean flowing interface Same look across all modules

UI changes New Job / Quickset Options Bit Depth 8 -Bit Smart 16 -bit Cutter Selection Choose your Cutter device as a job option Configure RIP settings Override system defaults to build job workflows Basic Quickset screen contains some of the more often used options

“Smart” / Selective 16 -bit “Smart” means the software can choose when to apply 16 -bit processing Default will remain 8 -bit (bias towards performance) 16 -bit should be auto-enabled in the following cases with Smart 16 -bit enabled: 16 -bit TIFF Images PS/PDF Images with 16 -bit raster elements PS/PDF Images with large (output size) gradient blends

“Smart” / Selective 16 bit Possible Concerns Slight color differences in output This is most noticeable in large gradient blends Potential performance impacts All elements in the image will be processed with the same bitdepth 16 -bit may perform slower Varies depending on the complexity of the image

Configure RIP settings per job Configure RIP Settings Global settings under Setup > Postscript > Configure RIP Job Settings in quicksets under the Postscript Tab Also find this by viewing job information in RIP Queue Also available in print options in Preflight No longer bound to global settings for all jobs. Ability to build workflows based on jobs being run

Configure RIP settings per job Possible Concerns Most options that we may change here would be workflow related and troubleshooting related Changes made to jobs in preflight will not update Quicksets Workflows can be built with these options however we may not know if a file needs that workflow until it fails
