Release Notes 1.11.0 - Durst Workflow
With version 1.11.0, users can take advantage of several innovations in the environment of the Montage Editor, the release reports and the management of print data. In addition, improvements have been made in the area of editing and outputting print data as well as translations.
Innovations in version 1.11.0
Bright Theme
Add edge strengthening
In the assembly mode Tiling, it is possible to add an edge reinforcement. This is displayed to the user in colour and can thus be distinguished from the overlap.
Plate templates in the editor
For the first time, it is possible to store layouts for printing plates, which are required for conventional printing, as templates. These can then be used for mounting.
Assembly sheet template in the editor
From this version onwards, the user can save all assembly sheet configurations in a template and reuse them.
Colour bars in the editor
It is possible to create colour bars in the Montage Editor, which are used to activate the nozzles in the production run.
Motive templates
Motif templates are now available which can be created, edited, saved and applied to all motifs in a montage - for example, a set scaling factor.
Placeholder for labels
Additional placeholders for the cutting file name, as well as which ink saving profile (low, medium, extreme) is used, are available for selection.
Area units of measurement in Workflow
In the system settings, a preferred unit of measurement for the area - square metre or square foot - can be stored. This unit of measurement is used in all areas of the workflow.
Limit processes
The number of processes to be processed in parallel in the workflow can be limited, so the utilisation of the hardware can be better controlled.
180º Rotation
In the Transmit to Printer dialogue you now have the option to rotate each even or odd page by 180º.
Vanguard Printer
From this version onwards, direct control of a Vanguard printer is possible in the workflow. The printer can be created, managed, profiled and subsequently used for production jobs.
Approval report
From now on, release and ink cost reports are created in separate areas. In the course of this, the range of functions for creating and managing release reports, including versioning, has been expanded.
Ink cost reports
The creation of ink cost reports has been fundamentally revised, so the report is now created in the Statistics tab. This means that a report can be created directly for each ink cost calculation.
Ink cost calculation
The calculation and also the display of ink costs have been newly implemented in this version and the range of functions has been extended. In order to better compare ink costs, a new, improved view has been added.
ZIP hotfolder for multiple print series
With the possibility of controlling several print rows/lanes on a P5 350 and P5 210, this function is now also available in the workflow. The print series and the print sequence can be stored when creating a hotfolder.
Hotfolder Deletion
Deleting paused hotfolders as well as already processed hotfolder elements (motifs/orders) is now possible.
Data-Correction
- Convert to CMYK
Remove unused and/or hidden layers
Removes unused and/or hidden layers in the image.
Extract Text (OCR)
The text of the motif is extracted for the selected language using OCR and the result is saved as a text file in the Extras tab.
- Create ellipse/rectangle as technical shape
The selected geometric shape is created at the specified position in the specified size.
Merge pages
The page(s) to be placed in a multi-page document are placed on the selected page(s).
- Create spot colour channel for objects of the selected colour
Creates a spot colour channel for all objects that use the selected spot colour.
- Place objects on layer
Assigns selected objects to an existing or new layer.
- Rotate and/or Mirror Pages
All odd or even pages can be rotated 90º and 180º or mirrored horizontally and vertically.
- Convert page content to image
Converts the entire page content into a pixel image for the selected colour space.
Verbesserungen
Ausgabe-Vorlagen
An allen Stellen des Workflows wird nun dieselbe Implementierung der Ausgabe-Vorlagen verwendet.
Processing PDF/VT
In order to be able to process PDF/VT files in the workflow, another render option "EHVD" was implemented for production jobs.
Extension in the check-in process
A preflight warning is issued for very complex print data if the "content stream" of a file exceeds three megabytes.
Convert spot colours to DeviceN
The licence information tab of the system status dialogue now shows for which workflow version the licence is issued.
Licence authorisation
As of this version, the function "Use version" can be executed in the article or motif detail view via the action menu in the action bar.
Pre- and after-run for Tau/VariJet
For the Tau and VariJet printing systems, it is possible to transfer pre- and/or post-print separately to the printer without having to render the entire job.
Translations
The Czech translation has been completely revised and from this version onwards a Slovak translation is also available to the user.
Data Correction
- Delete pages
- Set scaling factor
- Create white separation only
