Advanced parameters
-
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.
-
TIFF Compression: You can choose the compression of the TIFF file. The default ZIP offers a good compromise between file size and performance and doesn't normally need to be changed but, if your production requires another compression, the options are:
- ZIP
- LZW (Lempel-Ziv-Welch is a fast and efficient compression algorithm, best suited for upscaled images where many pixels have the same color)
- Packbits
- None
- ZIP 1, 3, 5, 7, and 9
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.
Comments 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.
