Brisque Impose Application Note #9
Page Remake Cycle

Question:

How do I replace individual pages from within an Imposition Job?

Explanation:

When corrections need to be made to individual PostScript files that have already been ripped, re-printing and re-RIP the PostScript file is a very time consuming job, especially if it is very large.

Solution:

There are four ways that you can do this:

The following outlines the basic page remake cycle for all four possibilities:

  1. Make the corrections to the pages in your document.
  2. Print the pages to a file of a different name(s) than the original file.
  3. RIP the file(s) on the Brisque, making sure that they are RIPped at the same LW resolution of the original pages.
