New Right-On Spot Color Matching (iQueue Ultimate): The Right-On Spot Color Matching System uses a unique visual gamma comparison that allows users to make custom color corrections on individual spot colors found in a digital file. No other spot color matching system gives you this much control over color conversions.
Job Cost Estimating (Ultimate): Now iQueue takes the guess work out of job cost estimating. Simply double click on a project name to bring up the Job Ticket, enter the desired run quantity then click on the Job Cost Tab to see the estimated consumables cost.
Job Ticket Editor: iQueue’s job ticket editor allows users to setup digital files to suit the desired output device. You may select or apply: Media weight, surface type, orientation, feed tray, color corrections / profiles, densities, resolution, linescreens, screening types / angles, run quantities, and much more.
Screening Options: iQueue gives you a wide variety of screening options. Select the desired linescreen (from 10 lpi to 240 lpi), screen angle, and halftone shape (Round, Ellipse, Euclidean, Line, Dual Dot and more).
Networking – Sending digital files to iQueue: iQueue is a software application that can be installed on any networked PC (or a Pentium based Mac running Windows). Because iQueue broadcasts itself as an Adobe® Postscript® printer, prepress operators can print directly to iQueue from networked Mac or PC workstations, using popular Adobe® / Microsoft® applications.
iQueue Imposition / Plate Templating (iQueue Ultimate): Now you can quickly impose digital files with single or multiple pages and create (and store) custom imposition / plate templates to use over and over again. iQueue Imposition allows you to set the desired media / plate size, margins, gripper, number of columns and rows, rotate the image, add print (crop) marks, and nudge the template. You may also select one of iQueue’s standard imposition tem- plates.
Automatic Scene Modes: iQueue contains a new concept in color adjustment called Scene Modes. Similar to screen modes of digital cameras, the 20+ modes were hand edited to give exceptional output quality targeted at specific image types.
Print Queues: iQueue allows users to control output to one or more networked ILUMINA Digital Color Press, PlateMaker, FilmMaker and/or ScreenWriter through Print Queues. Users can manage individual jobs held within each print queue. These jobs can be prioritized, placed on hold, removed or even switched to another print queue using the handy drag & drop feature.
Consumables Usage: iQueue makes it easy to monitor the consumables for each Xanté device in your network. Simply click on the Consumables Tab for a detailed view of toner levels, drum life, belt life, and fuser life for each output device.
Run Counts: Track the print quantities of multiple jobs running on multiple output devices. You can stop a running job, print another, and later re-start the original project without losing the printed piece count.
Count Sheets: iQueue’s Count Sheet feature makes counting and gathering printed pieces faster than ever. Count sheets can be inserted after a specified quantity or at the end of the full run. You may also print progressive count numbers on your count sheets.
