May not be wrong, simply a warning
More information can be found in the Profiling Workflow training
Notes about drivers & new ink restrictions technologySome drivers do not have new ink restrictions technology
Existing profiles still work
Some drivers that have new technology may not work for every mode
Please let us know if you encounter a problem
Please use the legacy profiling process as a work around
Virtual Pixel resolutions are not supported in new technology
OEM Dot Patterns are not supported in new technology

New Job / Quickset OptionsBit Depth
8-BitSmart 16-bit16-bit
Cutter SelectionChoose your Cutter device as a job option
Configure RIP settingsOverride system defaults to build job workflows
Basic Quickset screen contains some of the more often used options
“Smart” / Selective 16-bit
“Smart” means the software can choose when to apply 16-bit processingDefault will remain 8-bit (bias towards performance)
16-bit should be auto-enabled in the following cases with Smart 16-bit enabled:16-bit TIFF ImagesPS/PDF Images with 16-bit raster elementsPS/PDF Images with large (output size) gradient blends
Slight color differences in outputThis is most noticeable in large gradient blends
Potential performance impactsAll elements in the image will be processed with the same bit-depth16-bit may perform slower
Varies depending on the complexity of the image
“Smart” / Selective 16-bitPossible Concerns
Configure RIP settings per job
Configure RIP SettingsGlobal settings under Setup > Postscript > Configure RIPJob Settings in quicksets under the Postscript Tab
Also find this by viewing job information in RIP QueueAlso available in print options in Preflight
No longer bound to global settings for all jobs.
Ability to build workflows based on jobs being run
Most options that we may change here would be workflow related and troubleshooting related
Changes made to jobs in preflight will not update Quicksets
Workflows can be built with these options however we may not know if a file needs that workflow until it fails
Configure RIP settings per jobPossible Concerns
