2 CombiPress support
●
Industry trend: Hybrid presses / combination presses
Hybrid press = printing process that combines 2 or more inline printing methods
Eg. Digital + flexo, flexo
+ screen,…
Multiple printing processes within 1 press => multiple printing characteristics: trapping, preflight, distortion
12
2 CombiPress support
●
In ArtPro, PackEdge & Plato 12: assign per separation a printing process
-> AE 12 splits the file into the different processes via the ‘Extract Inks’
ticket (part of AE base)
-> when connected to AE 12 Server, Job Parameters will also check
the Printing Method

5 Pantone LIVE
What is Pantone Live?
The project is a partnership of Pantone-xrite, Esko
and Sun Chemical to deliver a digital color database in the cloud that is integrated with tools for designers, brand owners, prepress and printers.

6 Layer Flag Handling
●
Printability and visibility flag is now saved according to the Adobe PDF standard when exporting and importing PDF
●
Hiding a layer will put the layer on non-printable
●
‘Make Layer visibility and printbility’
is now undo-able

ArtProArtPro 1212 Collection ToolCollection Tool
31
7 Collection Tool
A collection is a temporary set of objects, based on a selection
●
Collection can be made:
-
based on any selection
-
via the ‘Select by Attribute’
window (former ‘Selector’
window)
32
7 Collection Tool
●
Collection window:
Window > Collection
●
Allows easy navigation through any group of objects:
highlight, zoom in and select the current object from the collection window

8 Thin Parts
Thin Part Detection and Fixing
●
works on all objects in the file, also live text
BUT traps will not be considered as thin parts
Allows to search within a selection for areas where objects are thinner than a given minimum width
35
8 Thin Parts
Detect all thin Parts within user selection
●
Prepress > Thin Parts…
or double click the ‘Fix Thin Parts’
option in the toolbar
All thin parts will be flagged If the thin part is between 2 parts of the object above the Threshold
36
8 Thin Parts
Collect and step through Thin Parts in collection tool
●
Thin parts will be gathered in a Collection window but will not contain any real objects
-> virtual outlines of places where objects are thinner than the threshold
37

9 PowerTrapper Enhancements
TCP File Support
●
Color Pairs are stored within the ArtPro
file
–
when opening an ArtPro
file where trapping is applied, Color Pairs are available
–
insert ArtPro
file will not load the Color Pairs of the inserted ArtPro
file
–
when an AP 12 file in older versions the Color Pairs will not be
loaded
-> saving the AP in an older version will remove the Color Pairs
43
9 PowerTrapper Enhancements
Select Trap Tool Enhancements
●
Double click the ‘Select Trap’
tool:
-
in case there are no trapping objects, the PowerTrapper
window opens
-
in case there are trapping objects, the ColorPair
window opens
●
Selecting trap in document will jump to the relevant color pair and expand when needed
44
9 PowerTrapper Enhancements
Existing Traps
●
Traps created with the Instant Trap are now respected
ON: already trapped objects remain untouched
OFF: already trapped objects will get ‘new’

Multiple Sessions
●
History of trap sessions:–
each trap action will be stored in a trap session
–
the trap session will also save the trap Color Pair list
–
stored in the TCP file, saved in the AP file

To give a custom name to objects and groups in the Layer window:
-
original object properties are kept
-
visible in Object Info:
50
11 Named Objects & Groups
●
Additional selection criteria to select based on Object Name in ‘Select by Attributes’
window
(former Selector window)
●
Export to Normalized PDF:
Named objects & Groups are recognized when opening in PackEdge or DeskPack
Limitations 1. objects can get reassigned when object is restructured (eg. gradients, placed pictures.
2. stroke names are lost during a PDF roundtrip3. Extra group levels may be added -> named object on a lower level

ArtProArtPro 1212 Improved Structural Design SupportImproved Structural Design Support
52
12 Improved Structural Design support
●
In Plato, it was already possible to import all layers from an MFG file:
–
Varnish information
–
Sheet definitions
–
Dimensions
–
extra info about the Step and Repeat
●
For Suite 12, ArtPro
has an improved CAD import to match that behavior.
–
All CAD layers are imported as one structural layer with sublayers
–
Better CAD round trip to other Esko
software (Automation Engine, PackEdge) and Adobe®
Illustrator®
53
12 Improved Structural Design support
54

of the CAD file
-
hidden layers will become visible after import in AP
-
empty layer on top (in case of import in new file/job)

White Underprint
●
Cfr. PackEdge and DeskPack
●
Prepress > White Underprint…
Tool in Toolbar (customize)
●
Creation is based on selection
●
New layer
-> layer name = separation used to create the white underprint
●
‘Only visible parts’

58
13 White Underprint & Rich Black
Rich Black
●
Cfr. PackEdge and DeskPack
●
Prepress > Rich Black…
Tool in Toolbar (customize)
●
Rich Black: used to enrich all objects in a selection containing a specific ink with a user-
defined amount of another ink
=> to obtain a darker, more saturated color in print
●
An offset can be used to avoid the need of trapping afterwards
●
New layer
-> layer name = Rich Black Layer
