Preparing Files for Graphics Inspection

Using partial Inspection/Selection tools helps users define specific portions of any loaded file to be verified in Graphics Inspection.

1. Overprint

Clicking the Overprint icon for Master or Sample panel displays a simulation of how blending and overprinting appear in the color-separated output, this however won't be applied during the inspection. It will essentially provide an overview of the differences by ‘printing’ the differences on top of each other with the two versions. Toggling Overprint option also re-loads the files.

The default is toggled ON.

2. Layers & Separation

Layers & Separation will show the identfiied layers in the document. These layers will provide a basis for comparison by creating a layered view for the alterations.

The identified layers will be shown under the Layers button.

Separations will show identified separation parameters.

Changing Separations will automatically enable Overprint, as per the info message that pops up when clicking on Separations.
