Export Profiles in Metrix Quick Impose

Jobs that have been modified in Metrix Quick Impose can be exported to the Fiery Command WorkStation Held list in preparation for printing.

To export jobs from Metrix Quick Impose, you must select an export profile. The following export profiles are available:
  • JDF
  • JDF Proof
  • PDF
  • PDF Proof
Depending on the export profile that you choose, the following are applicable:
  • In the Fiery Command WorkStation Held list, the exported layouts will have MTX_LYT as part of the file name, with the file extension as either .pdf or .jdf, depending on your selection. If you choose JDF or PDF, each layout will be numbered, as in "MTX_LYT01", "MTX_LYT02", and so forth.
  • If you select PDF or JDF, each PDF or JDF is exported as a separate layout. A file with layers needs to be exported as JDF. If the file contains layers and if PDF is selected, then the Export button will be disabled.
  • If you select PDF proof or JDF proof, only one file will be created with all the layouts for the job. When you export the job, registration marks are added.
  • If you select PDF proof or JDF proof and export the job, the Copies column in Fiery Command WorkStation will display the number 1. The Copies column indicates the number of sheets required to print the required quantity of the finished product.

    If you select PDF or JDF, depending on the number that you entered in the Required Quantity field in the Properties list in the Metrix Quick Impose window, the Copies column in Fiery Command WorkStation displays the number of copies (sheets) required to print the job. For example, if the job is to print 1000 postcards, enter the number 1000 in the Required Quantity field in the Properties list in the Metrix Quick Impose window. When you export the job as PDF or JDF, based upon the imposition method applied, the number of copies (sheets) required to print the job will be calculated and displayed in the Copies column in Fiery Command WorkStation.

  • When you export a job from Metrix Quick Impose, the properties of the job are written into the Metrix database. If you delete the job, it is deleted from the Metrix database and from the Fiery server.
