CO n F i g u r a t i O n
Click the Configure button to open the Preview Configuration dialog.
Treat Process as Spot `
is option is typically off. However, when viewing color separations that
are a combination of process and spot colors, setting this option = ON
can help to obtain an improved view of the color blends.
Show True Pixels Resolution `
Many printers have different horizontal and vertical resolutions. e
image that appears in the viewer is automatically adjusted to account for
this, when Show true pixels resolution is unchecked. Checking Show true
pixels resolution will show the image without this automatic adjustment,
which will cause the image to appear stretched.
Cache Size `
If the viewer is drawing too slowly, and additional memory is available on
the hard drive, then increase the size of the memory cache to increase the
viewer speed.
Units `
Select the units of measurement from the drop list (pixels, inches, or cen-
timeters). e units of measurement appear in the bottom right corner of
the View Raw Data dialog.
im a g e in F O r m a t i O n
Clicking the Image Info button will open an Image Info dialog. e dialog includes a list of
information specific to the image including the printer, resolution, color planes, image size, and
file location.

black, within the image preview.

Variable dot halftone support is incorporated into the print modes provided with FastRIP. By
applying one of the FastRIP-provided print modes, variable dot halftones will be automatically
used with the given print job.
With respect to on-screen previews, note that a monitor display is not capable of previewing vari-
able dot output because a monitor display contains only one size of pixel on-screen. Further, the
limited number of monitor pixels may cause the preview to appear faded, though this fading will
not be present in the actual print.
