In this video, we're going to create a canvas wrap in Job Editor.
I'm going to begin by opening my file into Job Editor.
In preparation for this file, I need to rotate 90 degrees. So I'm going to select [Preview and Size] tab,
choose 90 degrees, and select [Apply].
This file requires the dimension of the height to be resized. So I'm going to change that height to 24".
Now that I have the rotation and size set. I need to control my bleed amount. So I'm going to go to my
[Finishing] tab and I'm going to be in my [Bleed] tab and I'm going to enable my bleed.
The requirement for this bleed is for a 2" bleed. So I'm going to set
my numbers all around for a 2" bleed area. Also I want to set my Bleed Type to be color.
And I'm going to sample a color from my image.
So I use my eyedropper, and select my color. If I don't like that and I want to change it.
I can select my eyedropper again and choose a slightly different color.
At this point, I have my 2" bleed for my canvas wrap.
However, I also require an additional 1" around this outer area.
And this does not have to be any type of printed subject matter. So I'm going to go down
to my Trim Box,, and I'm just going to add 1" additional overall. As you see,
that will just be media base. There is no printing that takes place in that trim size.
So, I have an additional 1" of extra media space past that point of my 2" bleed.
And my 2" bleed again is a custom color setting.
Now I can choose the type of marks I want to use.
And I'm going to select frame. In addition, I may go to my Marks tab and
set for a [Crop Outline] around this area. It is just depends on what type of marks
you may want to use. Now that I have all of my settings created for this canvas wrap.
I begin to notice that this would make a very nice Quick Set.
While I'm in Job Editor, I'm able to go to File > Export As a Quick Set.
In this screen, I'm able to choose any additional options I'd like to have as part of my Quick Set.
I'm going to save this. And I'm going to save this to a location that
I have specifically made for my exported Quick Sets.
I'm going to give this Quick Set an appropriate name such as "Canvas Wrap".
Now, keep in mind, if you are creating different settings to canvas wraps, different dimensions,
different types of marks, you can give these very unique names - “Canvas Wrap for 2" Bleed”
or “Canvas Wrap for Full Bleed” and distinguish them uniquely.
So I'll save that in my folder, and now I'll submit my job to the RIP-Queue.
Now we see our completed file with all the canvas wrap settings that we need.
At this point, I would print my file and I would just continue on with my next jobs.
Let's take a look at the Quick Set that we exported. We've exported that information
out of Job Editor. And it contained all the settings that made this canvas wrap possible.
I could import that information into my Quick Sets and use that time and
time again. This is going to keep me consistent, repeatable, reliable, and save
me time because I won't have to do these things manually. I will just apply the
presets of the Quick Set whenever I need to perform this canvas wrap technique.
I'm going to go to Configure Printer, stop my processing. I'm not ripping or printing.
And my first tab is my Quick Sets. In the lower right corner, I'm going
to [Import] and I'm going to choose the Quick Set that I just created that was my canvas wrap.
And now I have that canvas wrap with the same parameters of what I created and
set in Job Editor. Now for future uses, all I need to do is open my job,
select that particular Quick Set, canvas wrap. There's no need for me to go to Job
Editor and make any changes. This Quick Set will contain all the parameters that
created that particular canvas wrap. Open the file and it's going to apply those
conditions to my file and I'll be ready to print that. Now I see this file with
the Quick Set parameters applied based on the conditions I set in Job Editor.
That saved me time. I didn't have to do this manually. All the information was
applied automatically by the conditions in the Quick Set.
