- Differentiate between the appropriate uses of inkjet and half-tone proofing devices.
- List the characteristics of the most common output device families relating to electronic prepress.
- Describe the types of media associated with various output devices.
- Apply colour management with ICC or Device Link profiles in the Colour Control module of the Process Plan for proofing output.
- Map spot colours to the correct colour library for the best simulation with proofing devices.
- Combine surplus spot colours to a single separation for successful printing plate production.
- Select the appropriate screening parameters based on production requirements for half-tone proof, film or plate output.
- Set and revise trapping characteristics based on expectations of the ultimate printing condition.
- Configure workflows: directly connect output devices, remote machines or third party devices.
