Wasatch Online Proofing Help

February 11, 2021

The Online Proofing driver creates and transmits proofs through email. All email service is managed automatically in the Wasatch Cloud.

You can specify recipient email addresses in the printer properties page, or at the time that you send each email. An email will be sent every time you print with this driver.

Color matching in an online proof is controlled by ICC color profiles. For views on computer screens, the standard sRGB profile is a common choice of output profile, but other choices are easy with SoftRIP's open color management. A default Imaging Configuration that uses the sRGB ICC profile is provided for download from the Wasatch Cloud.

To launch the properties for Online Proofing, first select Wasatch Online Proofing in the 'Printer Model' control on the 'Setup' menu, then click the 'Edit' button, and then the 'Properties' button.

Output Size: Allows you to specify the size of file that you want to produce, and Wasatch SoftRIP will automatically adjust it's resolution to produce that size, regardless of the original page size. The size of the image proof ranges from 1 to 8 Megapixels. Larger sizes may take longer to email.
