Displaying Vinyl And Foil Information; Displaying The Foil Settings - Gerber OMEGA CP Reference Manual

Displaying vinyl and foil information

GSPPlot contains vinyl and foil usage information. This is helpful when determining whether
you have a sufficient amount of material to produce the job.
To view vinyl usage
1 Open a file in GSPPlot.
2 The Summary Bar at the bottom of the window displays the amount of vinyl being cut
and/or printed.
To view foil usage
1 Click Setup > Print Options.
2 The Foil Color list box displays the amount of foil used for each color in the
Usage/inches column.
Note: When using Gerber MAXX 2, the foil usage displayed in the Foil Color list box is just an
estimate.

Displaying the foil settings

The foil setting information allows you to see how the foils are being used within the job. The
order in which the foils are displayed is the order in which they will be printed.
♦ T (Target foil)– A target is printed on the vinyl for easy plotter alignment.
♦ O (Overprint) – Extra heat is needed to apply the foil color over another foil.
♦ P (Primer) – The foil displayed will be printed as a base coat to the object that was
assigned a Primer in Composer.
♦ S (Spectratone)– The "S" appears next to two or more foil colors, depending on how
many objects in Composer were assigned Spectratone colors. One foil will be
overprinted over another to produce a new color.
♦ D (Double Print) − Each foil is printed twice to enhance the appearance of back-lit jobs.
♦ I (Inches per minute) – An estimate of print speed of that foil in inches per minute.
