|---|---|---|
| Printer (and loaded medium) | The Printer list contains all printers that have been set up in the Output view. Next to the available printers in the drop-down list, the loaded medium is shown in parentheses. The loaded medium is the print medium that you selected when setting up the printer. | Media Synchronization between Printer and Software |
| Medium | You can select a print medium that is currently not loaded in the printer for the job from the Medium list. The job will be created in the status Waiting for User Action. The job will be automatically printed after you have changed the medium in the printer configuration in the Output view (select printer and click the Change Media button). | |
| Calibration Set | Only calibration sets are available that support the selected printer–medium combination. The print mode is defined in the calibration set. |

| Paper Tint Simulation | Paper tint option which can be turned off to print proofs without a paper tint simulation. Please note that removing the paper tint simulation affects the color accuracy. The option Fill Gaps fills the gaps between images with paper tint simulation so that the proof job appears more homogenous and is easier to cut. Also, irritating visual effects due to differences between the simulated paper tint and the original paper tint of the proof paper are avoided. This option is supported only if the same proof standard is used for all images in the proof job, as the paper tint is dependent on the proof standard. | Paper Tint Simulation |
| Spot Color Priority |
When an image with spot colors is added to a job, GMG ColorProof automatically searches the spot color sets linked to the database for the spot color channel names in the image. The Spot Color Priority defines the order of sequence in which the spot color libraries are searched. Especially useful for power users using multiple printers and load balancing: You can easily and fast "copy and paste" spot color settings including activation/deactivation status and priority from one printer to another and from one workflow to another by using the corresponding toolbar buttons. You can also apply the settings to all connected printers. This feature also helps to keep your settings synchronized, for example, when a new spot color database is added. This feature is available even across different printer types, as long as the printers are in the same printer family (as defined in the calibration set). |
