■
The Splash Acquire plug-in module, for scanning locally with the printer/
copier using Adobe Photoshop. Scanning is performed directly into the Splash
Server (not over the network) to avoid network transfer delays.
■
The Splash Export plug-in module, for printing scanned images in
Adobe Photoshop directly to the printer/copier. This command prints directly
to the copier to avoid network transfer delays.
■
RIP While Receive. Splash RIPs a file as it is received whenever it is not
processing another job, which adds tremendous productivity gains in most
customer environments.
■
Continual Print. For many documents, Splash can process and print files at
copier-rated speeds. This feature is applied to print jobs at the printer driver.
■
Spool File Handling Options. For situations where the same, complex
PostScript file is reprinted from time to time, the ability to save the spool file
at the Server can lead to significant productivity gains. The Splash Server can
be configured, if necessary, to spool all incoming files.
■
Job Ticketing. Macintosh users can enter identification or job information to a
comment field for each job. Comments entered at the printer driver can be
viewed at the Splash Server and in the server’s printing log.
■
Save as TIFF. This feature allows designers to send a file to the Splash
Server—and then to view a bitmap of the processed file—without leaving their
workstations. Combined with separations support, this allows a designer to
view overprint and trapping effects during the design process, without the need
to actually make a print and go to the printer/copier to retrieve it. Most DTP
applications do not allow these effects to be viewed directly on the screen in
the application. This can significantly increase productivity during the
design process.
■
Progressives support. You can print up to four sheets of paper for a color
document with any combination of C, M, Y, and K color passes on each sheet.
This allows you to examine the result of adding each color pass to a print job.
