xv About the documentation

Introduction

This manual describes how to set up, install, and conﬁgure the Splash G3535 Color Server™ for Apple Mac OS and Microsoft Windows computers. The Splash G3535 Color Server is a high-end Color Publishing Print Solution for use on Power Mac OS G4 platforms. Splash client software enables Mac OS or Windows computers to send print jobs across an appropriate network to the Splash G3535 Color 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 NT/2000/XP, AppleTalk, Unix, Novell, and Microsoft TCP/ IP), see the manufacturer’s documentation.

xvi Product features

Product features

The new and commonly used product features of the Splash G3535 are described in the following list.

•

Color Tuner

—allows you to make 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. You can make color changes (RGB or CMYK) globally by adjusting either the overall intensity of a speciﬁc color or the highlights, midtones, or shadows. Direct color substitution mode changes the selected color to a new color for a single page of a document or the entire document. Smoothed color substitution changes all occurrences of a single color to another color, allowing you to adjust the dominant color in an image. The Splash G3535 enhancements include selecting Spot Colors for substitutions, limiting the selected area for color effects, and editing individual colors after global changes have been applied.

Screened Dmax

•

—allows you to obtain dot accurate and color accurate calibrated output for print jobs that use the Screened job option. In addition, it displays 100% ﬁlls as solids rather than screened areas. This provides an enhanced prooﬁng capability for screened devices to produce the best screened color output.

Print Info

•

—allows you to print a customizable info strip for your jobs. The Print

Info Strip includes information regarding the user, job, color, and media type.

•

Set Builder

—allows you to select individual jobs and print them as a single set. You

can select from the following options: Copies, Collate, Duplex, Staple, and Rotate.

TIFF-IT P1 and 8.8, PDF-X, CT-LW, and PSD native ﬁle formats

•

—allow direct handling

of many pre-press jobs sent to the Drop Folders.

•

ColorCal

—allows you to select from a standard set of RGB and CMYK Color Proﬁles or create custom CMYK proﬁles to calibrate the printer to produce the most accurate CMYK and RGB color output possible. ColorCal also offers two unique calibration features: AutoGray and Splash Proof calibration. AutoGray adjusts the gray balance of the printer. Splash Proof uses a special set of selected print settings to output a speciﬁc prooﬁng style.

• Secure Access—enables the server administrator to limit who is allowed to print to the server. It requires you to enter a user ID, password, and account number or any combination of these ﬁelds, prior to sending a job to the server.

xvii Product features

• Secure Printing—allows you to password-protect a job from the printer driver, so it can only be printed at the server print queues when the password is entered. Only you, as the owner of the job, can reprint the job from these print queues.

• Duplex Alignment—allows the server administrator to enter vertical and horizontal offsets which are applied to all duplex jobs. These offsets align the print margins for both sides of the duplexed job. Duplex Alignment also supports separate offset values for each tray.

• Splash Imposition—creates imposed documents from the print driver, PPD, or Job Option window at the server.

• Spot Color Editor—allows you to add and delete spot colors, as well as change the value output, for any particular spot color.

• Hot Folders/Hot Download Folders—allows you to create multiple Drop folders and Hot Folders. You can then download graphics ﬁles directly from a Mac OS or Windows computer to the Splash G3535 using speciﬁed job print options. The folders are standard Mac OS folders which are shared over the network. Windows and UNIX client systems are supported via SMB ﬁle sharing.

• Composite Spotproof—allows you to simulate PANTONE (including the newer 147 colors in both composite and separations), Toyo, DIC, and HKS spot color matching systems. You can also print spot tints (less than 100% of a speciﬁc spot color) accurately, since they are calculated from the actual spot color and are not a CMYK processed color.

• Show Composite CMYK Overprints—allows you to view overprints included in PDF ﬁles or composite ﬁles from various publishing applications, improving speed and workﬂow.

• Splash Intellicolor—allows you to print jobs that contain mixed RGB format (TIFF, EPS) and mixed color space (CMYK, RGB, spot) elements without any complex and time-consuming adjustments.
