Introduction
Product Features
The Splash G630 Color Server is a complete color
printing system for use on an Apple Po wer Macintosh
platform. The G630 is fast, powerful, and accurate
and is the ideal solution for printing color critical
proofs and high-quality short runs. The Splash G630
Color Server is a FedEC-certified proofing system
that is a benchmark for the graphic arts industry.
This User Guide describes how to set up the Splash
G630 Color Server and install and use Splash client
software on Macintosh and Windows-based computers. Splash client software enables a Macintosh- or
Windows-based computer to send print jobs across an
appropriate network to the Splash server, which processes the jobs and sends them to the printer. If you
are unfamiliar with your platform’s procedures for
printing or integrating printers within the network
environment (Windows 2000/NT, AppleTalk, Unix,
and Novell), please refer to the manufacturer’s documentation before attempting to use the Splash server.
Product Features
•
ColorTuner quickly and easily makes color
changes to any document (a single page or the
entire document) at the server without having to
reopen and edit the original file in the original
application. Color changes can be made globally
(RGB or CMYK) by adjusting either the overall
intensity of a specific color or the highlights,
midtones, or shadows. Direct color substitution
mode will change the selected color for a single
page of a document or the entire document to a
new color. Smoothed color substitution changes
all occurrences of a single color to another color,
allowing the user to tweak the dominant color in
an image.
•
Set Builder selects individual jobs and/or
documents and prints them as a single set.
Production features can be applied including
Copies, Collate, Duplex, Staple, Rotate, Face up,
Output bin, and Reverse order.
•
Secure Access enables the Splash server
administrator to limit who is allowed to print to
the server . It requires the client to enter a user ID,
password, and account number or any
combination of these fields, prior to sending a job
to the server.
• Splash Imposition creates imposed documents
from the print driver , PPD, or Job Option windo w
at the server.
• Spot Color Editor provides the ability to edit the
value output for any spot color. Spot colors may
also be created and deleted. In addition, users can
revert all spot colors to the original factory
values.
• Expanded imageable areas are supported for
12x18 and SRA3 paper sizes.
• Hot Folders/Hot Download Folders enables the
download of graphics files directly from the
Macintosh client workstation to the Splash
server, using specified job print options.
• TIFF-IT 8.8 Support adds spot color support to
TIFF-IT P1, in addition to CMYK only.
• Composite Spotproof is an exclusive Splash
feature which simulates Pantone (including the
newer 147 colors in both composite and
separations), Toyo, DIC, and HKS spot color
matching systems. Spot tints (less than 100% of a
specific spot color) can also be printed accurately
since they are calculated from the actual spot
color and are not a CMYK processed color.
• Splash Intellicolor allows the printing of
documents that contain mixed RGB format
(TIFF, EPS) elements and mixed color space
(CMYK, RGB, spot) elements without any
complex and time-consuming adjustments. The
Splash server is the first PostScript server to
separately color-correct RGB and CMYK
formats within the same file.
• Continual Print automatically processes and
prints most files at copier rated speeds. Complex
jobs with large bitmaps on each page may not
print at engine speed.
• CopyCal creates color profiles that enable the
printer to simulate the color output of any other
color printer.
Splash G630 User Guide

Registration Card
• Acquire without Photoshop enables images to
be easily scanned at the Splash server without the
requirement of additional applications, such as
Adobe Photoshop.
• T wo-up Imposition imposes tw o letter/A4 pages
on a single tabloid/12x18 or A3/SR3 page. The
second image is rotated to create a straight edge
for binding. Two-up Imposition is compatible
with all job and page options except for Staple.
When Two-up Imposition is selected, the setting
for the Staple option is ignored. The default
setting is Off.
• Drag and Drop from Server Queues supports
dragging copies of spool files from the server
queues to the Mac desktop.
• GCR Preserving Profile retains the original
Gray Component Replacement (GCR) values of
the original file. This creates better quality prints
that represent more accurately the output of a
press by replacing all neutral color areas with an
appropriate amount of black, using only the
minimum amount of cyan, magenta, and yellow.
This option only affects color matching with new
style 4D profiles. Old style profiles are
automatically GCR preserving.
• Auto Grayscale overrides the color gray
specified in the RGB color space with true singlepass black (using K colorant of CMYK) printing.
This produces a true looking gray versus a
“muddy” look of a CMY gray. This option w orks
with both 1D and 4D CMYK profiles.
• Internet or Intranet Web Print Queue
Manager enables remote clients on any
computer platform to view and control print jobs
at the Splash server. Requires a TCP/IP
connection to the Splash server and Netscape
Navigator 4 or later, or Microsoft Internet
Explorer 4 or later web browser.
• Mirror Image printing flips pages about the
vertical axis to reverse the images. This is perfect
for transfer applications such as T-shirt transfers
and window decals.
• Profile Creator supplies high-quality ICC
CMYK profiles through a target which can be
measured by using a spectrophotometer (not
provided by Splash). This feature is appropriate
for highly accurate profile creation required for
prepress and press environments.
• System ConfigurationReport enables the
system administrator to view all system
parameters in a multipage report.
• Thumbnails can preview images of all pages of a
document on the Splash server interface.
• Translated server components in Brazilian
Portuguese, French, Italian, German, and Spanish
are included with the Splash server.
