Chapter 28:
Exporting Files from Composer
There are two Export commands in the File menu of Composer:
♦ Export
♦ Export to Hot Folder
The Export command allows you to export selected text or shapes, specific vinyl colors, or the
entire file from Composer. Files are exported and automatically converted to many different
formats through File > Export or File > Save As. The Export process is described in "Exporting
all or portions of a file." To achieve high-quality exported files you must pay close attention to
your Color Management settings.
The Export to Hot Folder command automatically saves selected objects or the entire file as an
EPS file that can be interpreted by ImageRIP Pro or ImageRIP Plus by Onyx for printing and
plotting. The Export to Hot Folders dialog box is described in "Exporting to a Hot Folder."

Exporting all or portions of a file

When exporting files you can choose to export the entire file or selected parts of it using the
Export What? dialog box. If you are exporting selected text, shapes, or images, you must select
them before clicking File > Export or the Selected option is not available. To export specific
vinyl colors, turn on Vinyl when Export What? displays and choose the colors to export from
the drop-down list that shows the vinyls in the job.
To export all or portions of a file

2 Choose what to export:
♦
All (the entire file)
♦
Selected (previously selected text or shapes)
♦
Vinyl (specific vinyl colors)
