Animate ink limit

Fiery ImageViewer helps you to see what pixels in the job are near the total area coverage (TAC) limit and any pixels that have been adjusted past the ink limit using Fiery ImageViewer curves or spot color edits.

To turn on the animation feature, start Fiery ImageViewer, open a processed and held job, and press ctrl+shift+L.

Flashing yellow areas in a job show pixels that are near the total area coverage (TAC) limit.

Flashing red areas in a job show pixels that are at or beyond the total area coverage (TAC) limit.

The total area coverage limit is loaded from the connected server. The limit can be manually adjusted or overwritten in the Fiery ImageViewer Preferences by turning on the Ink Limit for Animations option for viewing images only in Fiery ImageViewer.

Note: When ink limit animation is turned on, you are not seeing an accurate soft proof. The eye icon at the upper right of the Fiery ImageViewer window turns amber with a diagonal line to show that soft proofing is disabled. When animation is disabled by clicking ctrl+shift+L, the eye icon turns green to show you that soft proofing is turned on.
Note: The Animation ink limit feature is not available for all Fiery servers.
