TIFF format. You can choose the TIFF format:
- Standard.
- BigTIFF.
Info
BigTIFF is a variant of the TIFF file format without size limitation. This option can be selected if you encounter issues with very big jobs and if the controller supports it. Don't hesitate to consult the manufacturer's documentation directly.
Media tab
-
Information: at the top of the window, you are able to see information about your media. There you have access to two actions:
- Save: when you click on this button, the current media settings are saved to the selected media profile (printer, media, resolution, mode) so there will be applied for any new job using the same print configuration. If you don't save, the changes you made are only applied to the current job.
- Reload: will revert back to default as set during profiling or the last saved changes.
- Horizontal compensation (%): we recommend not to modify this. Any deviation is likely to be mechanical on the printer's side.
- Vertical compensation (%): this can be useful if you detect an increase or decrease in the length due to heating or media tension which is common when printing on vinyl or textiles for example. To calculate the compensation, click Compute and follow the software’s instructions.
-
Thickness (microns): Enter the media thickness in microns (from 0.00 to 50000.00). If disabled, the media thickness set on the printer's panel will be used.
Info
Microns, or micrometers, are a unit of measurement equal to one-thousandth of a millimeter (0.001 mm) or one-millionth of a centimeter (0.0001 cm).
In the printing industry, microns are essential for measuring small dimensions, such as ink particle size, paper thickness, screen mesh size, etc., all of which significantly affect print quality and detail.
Comment tab
On this tab you can see comments coming from the EasyMedia module. It can include comments from the global media window and from the profile project window.
