Change media profiles in the RIP (optional)

Introduction

By default a standard media profile is selected when the Touchstone ALPS Engine sends a print job to the Arizona printer. When you want to use a different media profile it is advised to copy an existing media profile and change it in the Media Manager.

NOTE

This manual provides you with basic information in order to change media profiles. Profiling is an expert task which requires additional information and tools not covered by this manual. Contact your local support organisation when you want to create or change media profiles.

Procedure

  1. Select the Arizona printer and click on [Media Manager]
  2. Select the Arizona printer icon and click on [Media library] above.
  3. Click on the media profile that you want to change and click on [Make Copy].
  4. Enter a new name for the media profile and click on [OK].
  5. Click on the Print Mode and click on [Edit].
  6. Follow all the steps to change the Print Mode settings. For more information on the general steps use the Onyx documentation.
    IMPORTANT

    Some steps in the procedure to edit media profiles and print modes, allow you to print test prints or calibration prints:

    • [Basic Print Mode Settings]  → [Print a Test Image] 

    • [Ink Restrictions]  → [Print Specialty Ink Restriction Chart] 

    • [Ink Restrictions]  → [Print Swatch] 

    • [Ink Restrictions]  → [Print a Test Image] 

    • [Calibration]  → [Print Swatch] 

    • [Calibration]  → [Print a Test Image] 

    • [Ink Limits]  → [Print Swatch] 

    • [Ink Limits]  → [Print a Test Image] 

    • [ICC Profile]  → [Print Swatch] 

    • [ICC Profile]  → [Print a Test Image] 

    Test prints or calibration prints are printed without elevation. However, when you print a test print or a calibration print with the "Alto" effect or with the "Brila with a white undercoat" effect, the job will be printed on top of a set of white layers. As a result of this, these jobs will still have a few layers when displayed in the Touchstone ALPS Engine user interface.
