Error

Symptoms

Error: 'Separation Colour already in surface' when outputting CIP3 files.

Cause

Solution

The problem occurs when the value '/CPC_OutputProofAsSingleJob' is True.

To Fix:

Open the process template in a text editor

Search for /CPC_OutputProofAsSingleJob (it should be false)

Once the change is made it is possible that the customer could get back to the same state:

For example:

Change the 'Output to' JTP to either 'EXPOSE' or 'Print Console'

Turn Printlink ON and change the format to 'One per sheet'

The Process templpate will now have the '/CPC_OutputProofAsSingleJob' set to True

To see the error; output 2 signatures from workshop using the PT you just edited (you will see only 1 process indicator..there should be 2)

Open the Process template in a text editor and change '/CPC_OutputProofAsSingleJob' from TRUE to False and it will work again.

Permanent fix:
