Next, your clients will send you pages.
You'll use TBX Monitor to keep track of what's going
on.
Bright colours will show if pages have been rejected.
You can fix them yourself, or get a client
to resend. All pages can be available to programs like Adobe® InDesign.
Inspect a plate's layout and approve or reject it,
when all its pages have arrived,
When approved, TBXPrint will create a plate file and pass it to the nominated
RIP inputs.
Set up TBX RipMon to keep track of your RIP's
output. As each plate gets produced,
TBX Monitor will show when and where it happened.
