Printing PrePress Files - GAP Files
The Graphic Art Port (GAP) is a port through which you can import
various file formats used in the Graphic Arts industry. GAP files are already
rasterized. The Spire CXP6000 color server only needs to prepare the files
for printing, which means adjusting the file resolution and rotation.
Importing GAP Files
To print a specific page, import the assigned file for the specific page. To
print a specific job, import the assigned file for the specific job.
Supporting GAP Files
The Spire CXP6000 color server can import and convert the following file
types:
•
Brisque jobs
•
TIFF
•
TIFF IT
•
CT / LW
The system converts these file types to “pre-rasterized” PDF files. GAP
PDF files behave the same as any other PDF file and have the same job
parameters.
Note: While the assigned job file is imported, the file is converted to a PDF file
that is displayed in the Spire CXP6000 color server queues. The PDF file can be
programmed and printed as any other PDF file.
Note: The Spire CXP6000 color server supports the following GAP file formats,
pre-separated and composite.
