Workbench Data Types
There are sixteen (16) data types (databases) within the Workbench that can be used and configured to accurately
process jobs. Each will be explained in detail. The data types are:
• Bookfilter – Allows for the polling and mapping of planning files for softproofing large multi-­‐section or multi-­edition
jobs. This is a standard feature for Veripress and available as a Softproofing Add-­‐on for Blackmagic.
• Calcheck Chart – Used to provide a validation check for a hardcopy proof or a monitor.
• Camera – Setup a camera ICC profile for use with the SoftProof application when viewing RGB images.
• DotGain Curve – Used to compensate for or represent dot gain on the final output.
• Gradation Curve – Used to adjust colour in a job by applying a curve to the individual process colours.
• ICC Tweak Set – Build up a library of colours that need “tweaking” for accurate output.
• Job Genie – A programmable file search filter used by some RIP input filters for polling and stitching together
jobs and publications.
• Media – Used to control configuration settings for Output, Colour Correction, ICC profiles and Output
Screening.
• Output – Determines where processed jobs are to be output.
• Pagesetup – Consists of modules to be configured to process and manipulate jobs for the desired output.
• Press – Contains the colour and dotgain attributes of a press. Used by the SoftProof application to show the
effects of printing a job on a particular press.
• Regular Expression – Used in conjunction with the RIPs for autoproofing jobs based on matching particular
rule sets.
• Replace Colour Set – Used to match and replace certain colours as they pass through the system.
• RIP – Configure a polling path and auto proof settings for RIP data proofing.
• Signature Group – Create or import signatures for de-­‐imposition.
• Special Colour Set – Used to identify and match colours when jobs are polled and processed.
Data Types - User Interface and Context Menu
The Bookfilter, Media, Output, Pagesetup, Pagesetup Pools, Press, RIP and Signature Data Types have multiple
configuration panels or sections governing the different functions they control.
These data types have a row of buttons or tiles across the top of their configuration panels allowing the user to
instantly jump to the section named. If any of the panels are not required, they can be hidden by using the “X” in the top
right corner of each. To show any hidden panels, click on the panel name in the row and it will appear. Shift+click will
hide them again.
A contextual (right-­‐click) menu is accessible in any of these individual sections, allowing the user to access the Find
function, Jump to another section, or change the background colour of the panel for easy identification.
