1 Introduction

Designed for Windows PC’s, KIP Print Pro is an intuitive system management and job submission application for
the complete range of KIP color and B&W systems.

Print Job Submission – KIP Print Pro is an interactive job building application used to create and manage print
jobs from the most common color and b&w wide format digital files including Postscript®, PDF, TIF, JPG,
Calcomp, and HPGL 1/2/RTL (and more). Configure single and multipage PDF files with individual scaling
preferences, stamps, folding presets, color management controls and print stacking location. Customize the
Quick Access Tool bar with your favorite features or use Auto Hide, Float, and Dock to maximize efficiency in
the Job Build Matrix. Operators can monitor print progress from start to finish with detailed device status and
queue management. Integrated Job Accounting and Data Tracking provide user and project activity reports
for both color and b&w printing from the KIP Cost Center application.

System Management – KIP Print Pro allows administrators to create and enable User and System Presets for
scaling, stamps, page sizes and print quality. When Job Notifications are enabled, administrators and job
owners are notified as jobs are completed or if intervention is required. Total Print Queue management controls
permit adjustments to the print order or to add new files and settings to existing print jobs.

 Smoothing Mode - To reduce image noise and distortions, and affects the whole picture
contrast.

 Adaptive Mode - Is made of two unique filters, both possessing the features of S H AR P and
S M O O T H , whose intensity can be adjusted in the entry fields under L E V E L . The upper entry
field controls foreground objects that should be enhanced, such as text, whereas the lower
field is for image backgrounds needing smoothing. With both filters, you will reach a
maximum smoothing effect at 0 and a maximum sharpening effect at 100.

 Filter Radius – The Filter Radius value will change the number of pixels that are affected by
the current filter.

Color Adjust – Allows a fine tuning

of the colors in the LAB color
space.

The saturation channels are two half axis of the a- and b-channels. They can be modified either
separately or all at once.

If you want to change them simultaneously, activate the chain link in the center.

To remove a Color tint you can use the Color Adjustment values.

Gamma Correction - Allows the adjustment of color shifts in the Red/Green and Yellow/Blue

Black/White settings consist of:

• Scanner Options

• Postprocessing

Scanner Options

Note: The Scanner options in black

and white mode are scanner
dependent. All settings in this filter
are transmitted to the scanner,
where they are processed. The
software is just the front end.
Therefore, some settings may be
not described; some settings may
not be available.

 Original – Choose from Line, Line/Photo or Name

 Auto Threshold - When this option is activated, the scanner reads gray tones as follows:
gray tones under the threshold turn to 0 (black), while all other gray tones turn to 1
(white). This mode suits lineart best. It should not be applied to photographs.

We recommend an ink limit of 100% in this mode

 Background Removal - Used to tune background contrast (e.g. in order to further fine-
tune text visibility) you may additionally reduce or improve the white to grey-values. The
higher the clipping value, the brighter and whiter the image’s most white elements will
become.

 Sharpness – Used to sharpen the edge and enhance outlines. Use values from 0 to 4
with 4 being the most sharp.

 Despeckle – Removes dots based on scanner hardware settings.

o Filter Size – It corresponds to the maximum "diameter" of the pixel area which is
to be removed.

o Rel. Area Size – This limits the proportion of the actual maximum number of pixels
to the filter size. 0 represents the smallest possible surface relatively to the
selected filter size.

 Hole Filling - This function makes it possible to remove single pixel-sized white holes from
black areas in b&w mode. Hole Filling works like Despeckling except of not removing
black pixels but white.

 Invert – This changes black to white and white to black (produces a negative of the
image)

4 Step by Step Instructions for using the system

4.1 System K Workflow Automation

Workflow Automation incorporates automated printing and finishing features to enhance your current
production workflow. Simplify user interaction by building KIP Print Pro Templates and linking them to any PC
workstation or network server Hotfolder to automate printing. Operators can drag/drop files to Hotfolders for
various types of printing workflows. From the Touch UI, scan to the SMB location of the Hotfolder to “copy” to
other KIP printers.

• Improve efficiency for Color and B/W copying and scan to file with Touch screen Templates

• Increase operator access to printing and finishing with Templates for Hotfolders

• No software installation at PC required

• Drag and drop PDF/JPG/TIF files to Hotfolders to print and fold

• Automate Mac and Unix printing for streaming LPR print data

Workflow Automation Features:

Unlimited Templates can contain:

• Copy Count

• Color Mode (B/W or Color)

• Print Quality for B/W and Grayscale

• Print Quality for Color CAD and Graphics

• Scaling by Page Size or Percentage

• Media Type and Size

• Stamp

• Folding

• Stacking to Front or Back

• Postscript/PDF Dither

4.10 Creating Color Presets For Templates

How to configure Color Copy and Color Scan Presets to make
Workflow Automation Templates
For specific types of originals, users may wish to build short cuts to simplify the number of steps to make a color
copy. Create custom Copy and Scan Presets and then combine them into a Color Copy Template. Activating
the specific KIP Scanner (720 or 2300) ICC profile during the copy process improves the copy quality. In this
example, we are building a preset that would work well for documents with heavy Color Graphics or CAD
Documents with Photographs.
