Markzware FlightCheck 7.5 Mac Ground Controls:
Page Setup Output
These settings deal with output settings that affect the actual data of the file.
Output Resolution – This Ground Control will trigger if no output resolution can be determined in the document.
Depending on your workflow this can be good or bad.
Halftone Screen – This Ground Control will trigger if the halftone line screen value cannot be determined.
Use Printer’s Screens – This Ground Control will trigger if a document has been set to use the line screen value obtained from a specified printer or Printer Definition File (not Adobe Acrobat PDF).
ASCII Data – This Ground Control will trigger if the output data has been set to ASCII. This is done in your print screen.
Some RIPs or output devices may not handle ASCII data properly, this all depends on your particular workflow.
Binary Data – This Ground Control will trigger if the output data has been set to Binary. This is done in your print screen.
Some RIPs or output devices may not handle Binary data properly, this all depends on your particular workflow.
Here is a video that shows how FlightCheck can preflight documents before printing:
FlightCheck warns if output resolution/halftone line screen value can’t be determined,
line screen value is from a specified printer, output data is set to ASCII/Binary, and more.
