SoftProof <br />
The Softproof application is used to proof a job on the screen. There are many tools available to check every aspect of <br />
the job at any stage of production or processing. SoftProof can be used in conjunction with or instead of a hardcopy <br />
proof. Using a calibrated monitor and configured press settings, proofs <br />
can be viewed and verified onscreen with precise colour accuracy. <br />
All job plates are shown and can be turned on or off, or changed as <br />
desired. Colour attributes and plate characteristics can be changed to <br />
see the effects of different printing processes, including paper types <br />
and the effects of show-‐through from the reverse side. The data can be <br />
exported to various file formats, including CIP3 and PDF. An Ink Key <br />
Viewer can display a job as it would be on the press, with the values for <br />
each key shown. The ink weight can also be calculated and over-‐ink <br />
areas identified. The proof can also be verified using the Displays <br />
application to give a pass or fail status in accordance with colour <br />
standards. <br />
Layout <br />
The SoftProof application consists of a large, central viewing window for jobs; a visual Tools menu on the left and a <br />
View panel to the right; a Navigation Thumbnail at the top right; and a status bar along the bottom of the window. <br />
Navigation Thumbnail <br />
This thumbnail shows the entire image loaded for softproofing. The area currently shown in the <br />
main viewing area is represented by a rectangle on the thumbnail. Mouse over and left-‐click to <br />
view a new area of the proof. <br />
Status Bar <br />
This bar shows the information about the currently loaded proof, the SoftProof Press Setting and the current <br />
calibration status of the monitor in relation to the <br />
Press Setting (See Applications > Displays for more <br />
information on screen calibration). <br />
The left of the bar displays: <br />
• Jobname (Original/Printed Preview) and current zoom level % <br />
The right of the bar displays: <br />
• Current Press or Camera settings, along with the <br />
Embedded ICC Profile for the image (if applicable). Use the tick box to override the currently selected Press or <br />
Camera profile and enable the embedded ICC profile. <br />
Clicking on the Press or Camera profile button will popup a menu with the option to choose another Press/Camera <br />
setting if available. <br />
When Calcheck Managed is enabled (Client Preferences > Colour Management) a small tick <br />
or cross representing the Calcheck status will be displayed in the status bar at the bottom <br />
right of the SoftProof window. <br />
Hovering the mouse pointer over the cross or tick shows a tooltip (when Tooltips are enabled) displaying information <br />
including: <br />
• The ICC Profile used by the monitor (normally created using the Displays <br />
application, Calibrate option). <br />
• The Calcheck Chart assigned to the Press/Camera Settings currently used in <br />
SoftProof and the current Calcheck Status of the monitor. <br />
