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.
• Continual Print—automatically processes and prints most files at printer speed.
However, complex jobs with large bitmaps on each page may not print at
printer speed.
• Active Queue—is a management tool that allows you greater flexibility for
scheduling jobs.
xviii Product features
• CopyCal—allows you to create color profiles that enable the printer to simulate the
color output of any other color printer.
• Acquire without Photoshop—allows you to scan images at the Splash G3535
without using third-party applications, such as Adobe Photoshop.
• Drag and Drop from Server Queues—allows you to drag copies of spool files from the
server queues to the Mac OS desktop.
• GCR Preserving Profile—retains the original Gray Component Replacement (GCR)
values of the original file. This creates quality prints that more accurately represent
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.
Mac OS X Native TCP/IP Printing—the Splash G3535 receives jobs via LPR using a
•
Native Mac OS X application, providing stability and in many cases allowing LPR
networks to avoid running the Classic environment.

platform to view and control print jobs at the Splash G3535.
NOTE: The Web Queue Manager requires a TCP/IP connection to the Splash server
and Netscape Navigator 4 or later, or Microsoft Internet Explorer 4 or later web
browser.
• Translated server components—in Brazilian Portuguese, French, Italian, German,
and Spanish are included with the Splash G3535. You can auto-switch the server
language without having to restart the system, and separate installation is
not required.
• Import RGB, Output RGB and CMYK Profiles—allows you to import color profiles to
the Splash G3535, providing better and more customizable color management.
• Selectable Printer Screening—takes advantage of the printer’s ability to provide
