In this video, we will explore new tiling features of version 12.1.
I will start by opening a file into Job Editor.
Once in Job Editor, I can access the [Tiling] tab.
To begin I will enable tiling, and now I can see I have my [Tiling Setup] tab and my [Tiling Mark] tab active.
The next step will be to go to the [Preview and Size] tab and adjust
the proper role size we're using our printer.
I am using a 36 inch roll. I’ll select that and click [OK].
Now I can see the automatic tile line appear on my image file.
I’ll return to the [Tiling Setup] tab
and now I can make my adjustments for my tile panels.
For my 36 inch roll printer, I can see that I have a maximum width of 35.78 inches.
The tiling software automatically adjusted 2 columns to compensate for these panels.
We can notice in the default tile the width is set to the 35.78 maximum size for each panel.
In this case, I can have 2 tiles of my columns that will accommodate the 35.78 inches.
However, if I want to adjust this and make custom sizes, I can adjust this up here in the columns tab.
[Number of tiles], I could indicate individual column amounts by arrowing up
or swiping the number and typing in a value.
By indicating the number of columns, the software will automatically evenly divide the sizes
to come up with a total amount of columns. I can also adjust this by rows.
I'll reset this back to 2 columns. Additional controls to include bleed and trim would actually
activate to include the finishing bleed and trim features.
So I’m going to go into the [Finishing] tab.
And in my [Finishing] tab, if I had bleed enabled and if I indicated a bleed amount,
and furthermore if I indicated a trim amount,
these additional feature sets would be included in my tiling.
I’ll return to the [Tiling] tab, and now we can see the effects of include bleed and trim.
As I disable this check box. You'll notice the tile line markers are adjusting.
Including bleed and trim will directly relate to our [Finishing] tab and
take into consideration the bleed and the trim box settings.
I'm going to reset those back to zero and disabled my image bleed, and return to tiling.
We can also include [Overlap]. The controls for overlap are below in the [Overlapped Tile] section.
Here I can indicate an amount to overlap and we can see in our preview an immediate reflection of that overlap.
By entering a 1 inch overlap, we’re going to have a 1 inch split left and right
which will be a half-inch image overlapping on the left and the right side of our tile markers.
This will allow us to line up our subject matter by content visually.
If I activate [Weld Overlap], a portion of that 1 inch overlap becomes non-printing or non-imaginable.
This would be used if the ink on media is interfering with the weld process.
In some cases we need to enable [Weld Overlap] to make non-printing area in that overlap.
So that the world may adhere or take.
In the [Tile Marks] tab, we can control the type of marks we would like to indicate on this print.
Tile overlap marks, we can control top, bottom, left and right.
This mark show you where the tile overlap begins and ends to make it easy to overlap and align your tiles.
Further controls for the overlap marks are underneath our [Configure Mark Setting].
We can control the [Type of Line], meaning a Solid Line Black or White, and we have fitness controls.
A dotted Line Black or White with thickness controls, and Line length and Gap Line controls,
or an Alternative Line where we are going to produce black, white, black, white lines (Dash line), alternatively.
We can control our thickness, and again, our line length and gap amounts.
All three of these line types can be controlled to print in the image area, bleed area, or trim area as necessary.
[Zero Line Tile Marks], this option prints of black cross heir with a white inner portion in the middle of the tile overlap area.
These marks show the center point of each tile allowing you to accurately place tiles.
Zero Line Marks for crop will define the area of your image that will not be printed.
The [Zero Line] for sewing will allow you to add accurate marks for your job for folding and having after the jobs been printed.
In either case were able to control where these marks are placed based on top, bottom, left, and right.
And again our mark option settings are the same where we can control a Solid Line Black or White,
Dotted Line Black or White, Alternative Black, White, Black, White (Dash line).
And also we can control our Thicknesses and our Line Length and Gaps.
Furthermore, we can control where these marks are going to be placed within the Image area, Bleed area, or Trim area.
One more feature of our tiling setup is the [Submitted Tiles as Separate Jobs].
When we activate this checkbox, we’re going to receive an ocean tile panel job for column 1 as well as column 2 as well as column 3.
These will appear in our RIP as 3 separate job panels. Should we decide to turn on the [Submit Tiles a Separate Jobs] checkbox?
We must keep in mind that back in our rip software.
If we are using the [Placement Strategy] and here is the checkbox on to[Flip every other tile],
this will not take effect because each of the tiles are separate jobs doesn't see it as one composite job made up of multiple tiles.
So keep this in mind if it's important for you to have the checkbox on for [Flip every other tile].
Then in that case, you would not have the checkbox on to [Submit Tiles as Separate Jobs].
This will conclude our presentation and Tiling Setup features.
