Ultimate Impostrip® now reports additional information about gang runs in the output XML
Audit File. The following fields are grouped under the node <AutoFlow> in the XML Audit File:

Nodes
Sheet

Contains the information for every sheet on the imposition. If an imposition contains 100
sheets, there will be a <Sheet> entry in the XML Audit File for each sheet for a total of 100
<Sheet> entries.

Note: It does not include the banner sheets/pages.

Serial Numbers
Serial numbers are used by print businesses that need tracking of every individual piece
inventory on a single item or SKU. In Ultimate Impostrip®, users can define an unlimited
number of serial numbers and include them in sheet or page barcodes. Each one encodes the
current value (number only) of the selected serial number.

Ultimate Impostrip® tracks the serial numbers and updates their value every time they are used.
For example, users can use serial numbers to track the number of jobs that are printed.

Serial Numbers Editor

information about Marks Profile, consult the dedicated section of Ultimate Impostrip®
user guide.

GMI Marks
GMI Marks refers to the marks respecting the Graphic Measures International (GMI) rules. It
includes GMI Registration Marks, GMI XRF Patch Marks and GMI Colorbars with spot color and
gradients specified.

Visit our website for more content: www.imposition.com/content


Ultimate TechnoGraphics Inc. All rights reserved.
11
Available by Default
The GMI Marks are included in the Ultimate Impostrip® installer. This means the marks are
available by default in the software (must meet licensing conditions to use). After launching
Ultimate Impostrip®, go to Marks Design. The GMI Marks are listed in the Marks Design Library.

GMI Registration Mark

12
GMI Color Bars (Spot and CMYK)
The GMI Color Bars can be created in Marks Design. By enabling the option ‘’GMI Compliant’’,
Ultimate Impostrip® flags the mark as compliant.

Note:

It is the responsibility of the user building the mark to ensure that the sequence and
percentage values of all the swatches match the specifications of GMI.

GMI Compliant (In Settings)

That option sets the colour bar as GMI compliant. It lets you enable GMI for spot colors. This is
the first step to do when creating a GMI compliant colorbar,

GMI (In Selection)

Each spot must be marked as GMI or not. After adding a spot color to the colobar, users can
enable or disable GMI for this particular swatch. In the example below, the spot color 2 is GMI
compliant.

Note: This GMI option can only be enabled by activating the option ‘’GMI Compliant’’ in the
settings section of the colorbar first.

13
Spot Colors Mapping in Colorbars
In Ultimate Impostrip®, users can manually link spot colors to colorbars using ‘’Spot Color
Mapping’’. Users can map the desired spot colors from the input document (ex: Pantone 378 C
and Pantone 1505 C) to S1, S2, … to have the correct Colorbar during output.

Spot Color Mapping


Location

Spot Color Mapping is available with Manual Jobs and Hot Folders. When selecting a Marks
Profile with a Colorbar containing spot colors, the section ‘Spot Color Mapping’ will appear.

Tools

Add Spot Color


Delete Spot Color

Print

Users can enable or disable a spot color to control if, for the purposes of marks, a color is
counted in the spot color numbering. This also concerns RIP setup and plate production. In the
example above, we may choose to not print the Pantone Black C as a spot color but as the K in
the CMYK. In this case, the press would be set up as 5 print stations.

We also may not bother setting up a print station for a little used spot color. We may have the
RIP simulate it as CMYK. In that case, this option would also be turned off for the purposes of
marking.

14
Sequence

Refers to the spot color number (Ex: 1, 2, 3, …). It determines the position of this color in the
colorbar, depending on how the Colorbar was created in Marks Design.

Color Name

Refers to the color name of the spot color in the input file. (Ex: PANTONE 1655 C)

Spot Color Mapping Configurations

To map spot colors in Manual Jobs and Hot Folders, follow the steps below:

1. Add a Mark Profile that contains a Colorbar with at least one spot color.

2. Under ‘Spot Color Mapping’, select ‘+’ to add a spot color.

Visit our website for more content: www.imposition.com/content


Ultimate TechnoGraphics Inc. All rights reserved.
15
3. Enter the spot color number under ‘Sequence’.
4. Enter the name of the spot color under ‘Color Name’. *Important: The name of the color
must be written the same as in the input document.

5. Repeat steps 2 to 4 to add additional spot colors.

Note:
For more information on how to create a Colorbar with spot colors, consult the dedicated
section of Ultimate Impostrip® user guide.

Add Multiple Documents At Once in Manual Jobs


In Manual Jobs, users can now add multiple input documents at once. This is particularly useful
to preview impositions combining different job orders, especially with AutoFlow and
AutoNesting. Ultimate Impostrip® generates a preview of the imposition for the users to
validate before printing.

To add multiple documents at once in Manual Jobs, follow the steps below:

1. Click on ‘ADD DOCUMENT’. A window will open.

2. Use the keys CTRL or SHIFT on your keyboard and drag the cursor to select multiple
documents.

Visit our website for more content: www.imposition.com/content


Ultimate TechnoGraphics Inc. All rights reserved.
16
3. Click on ‘Open’. The documents are automatically added to the input section of a Manual
Job.

Enhanced PDF Output Control with Spot Color Separation and file
routing
Ultimate Impostrip® offers color separations for CMYK and spot colors. It supports the ability to
separate the PDF files and route them to different file paths. Users can now get an imposed
PDF for each spot colors such as the cut file (dieline) and Spot UV.

Visit our website for more content: www.imposition.com/content


Ultimate TechnoGraphics Inc. All rights reserved.
17
Color Separation in Ultimate Impostrip®

Ultimate Impostrip® imposes a PDF input through Hot Folders Automation or Manual Jobs and
outputs the imposed PDF. When color separation is selected in the output options, Ultimate
Impostrip® creates additional PDFs of the same imposition for CMYK and each spot color. The
PDFs can be routed to different output locations which can be the input folder of each device, as
shown in the illustration above (Example: CMYK to printer, Cutline to Cutter and Spot UV to
Spot UV Coater).

This is done automatically behind the scenes by Ultimate Impostrip®. No manual intervention is
needed.

New ‘’APPROVE’’ button for Job Preview
In Manual Jobs, Ultimate Impostrip® users have the ability to preview an imposition before
printing. After reviewing and validating the job preview, users can now click on ‘’APPROVE’’ to
submit the imposition. It speeds up the imposition time by moving the temporary imposition
generated for the job preview directly to the output location instead of re-generating the
imposition when users clicked on ‘’Save&Print’’ in previous versions of Ultimate Impostrip®.

Visit our website for more content: www.imposition.com/content


Ultimate TechnoGraphics Inc. All rights reserved.
25
New Page Selection by Range in Manual Jobs
In Manual Jobs, users can specify a page range of the input document to consider for the
imposition. This is especially useful for offset printers to determine page selection.

• When page numbers are separated by a hyphen (-), Ultimate Impostrip® will consider all
pages between these page numbers in the imposition.
Example: 13-21 means consider all pages between 13 and 21. Ultimate Impostrip® will
print the pages 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20 and 21.

• When page numbers are separated by a comma (,), Ultimate Impostrip® will only
consider the page numbers specified.
Example: 13,15,19,21 means consider only these pages. Ultimate Impostrip® will print the
pages 13, 15, 19 and 21.

Note: To access the ‘’Range’’ field, ‘’All Pages’’ must be disabled.

Ultimate TechnoGraphics Inc. All rights reserved.
26
Users can also transform a colored swatch into a blank one by selecting the swatch and clicking
on ‘’Blank’’.

Before After

Note:

Blanks are used as “paper” or “substrate” spots for CIP3 and CIP4 automatic color bar
scanning devices on conventional and digital presses. In other words, CIP3 and CIP4 not only
needs to scan ink density spots, but also needs to scan the paper in order to properly index
the values. The “white point” of the paper substrate has a major effect on color calibration.

Known Issues

TT3397 – Mac binary templates do not import using the import tool in Template Editor

Workaround: Open the templates manually in Impostrip Legacy Mac and re-save them. They
will be converted to a SIG file format that is compatible with Ultimate Impostrip 2020. Note: the
files must have the .sig file extension to be opened by the Impostrip Legacy Mac app.

TT3704 – NSL - Library failed to initialize - Library validation failed: -10000000

Workaround for Mac:


The files are located here:
/Users/Library/Application Support/Ultimate Technographics/Ultimate Impostrip

There are 3 files have a numeric sequence as the name, and the lic, cache and sinfo file
extensions:
d92b3f7d361ba5b88c.cache
d92b3f7d361ba5b88c.lic
d92b3f7d361ba5b88c.sinfo

The workaround is to delete those files (which may require the admin password), restart
Ultimate Impostrip after shutting it down from the system tray, and re-enter the NSL license
key in the License dialog.

Workaround for Windows OS:


1. Right-click on the Ultimate Impostrip icon, click "Open logs Folder"
2. In Windows Explorer, go to parent directory – default is:
C:\Users\YOUR_USERNAME\AppData\Roaming\Ultimate Technographics\Ultimate
Impostrip
3. Close Ultimate Impostrip
4. Delete the following 3 files, which will have a different name (as a sequence of
hexadecimal digits) but same file extension
d92b3f7d361ba5b88c.cache
d92b3f7d361ba5b88c.lic
d92b3f7d361ba5b88c.sinfo
5. Open Windows command prompt (WINDOWS-R, type "cmd.exe")
type:
cd "C:\Program Files\Ultimate Technographics\Ultimate Impostrip"
Impostrip_backend-win
wait until the initial log output finishes, then type control-c to close the app

(The following line should appear when the startup phase complete:
2020-07-21 14:49:34 info: ######### MONITOR STARTED true
6. Start Ultimate Impostrip normally, license should be OK.

TT3841 – Database restore fails on different computer, causes backend to crash.

Workaround: Use Impopacks for hot folders. You can use Robo 3T to transfer individual
elements (e.g., xml mapping profiles)
The other workaround is to extract the TAR file manually, change the folder/file permissions
and recompress it. The restore feature will then work.

TT4012 – XY Adjustments not considered in Dutch Cut Template in Hot Folder Window

Workaround: Disabled XY adjustment option for Dutch Cut templates that are not manual.
Dutch Cut XY Adjustments to be done in Manual Mode in the meantime.

TT4104 –Legacy Import of Marks

The cut marks dimensions are not ported correctly; it presents with default values from
Impostrip 2020. Workaround: Manual adjustment if default values are not acceptable.

TT4446 - JDF LayCrImp & JDF Resources Folder - Ability to browse the output path
The paths for JDF LayCrImp and JDF Resources Folder cannot be browsed. Workaround:
Overwrite the default path by manually writing or copy/paste the new path in the field.

TT4460 - Color Separation Profiles - Do not output when ''First Sheet'', ''Last Sheet'' or
''Custom Sheet Range'' is selected

Workaround: Select ‘’All Sheets’’ under ‘’Page’’ to output the different PDF files for the CMYK
and spot colors.
