Summary

• Scrap Calculation:
• Scrap is calculated for each process that has a scrap setup (search for "Scrap Table Setup").
• The Calculation Unit that calculates scrap must be marked as "Process Start."

• Scrap is accumulated from the last process to the first process. The first process (typically the press) produces its own scrap and all scrap for the following processes. Each subsequent process produces its own scrap only, excluding the scrap from prior processes.
• For jobs with multiple items processed together (e.g., saddle-stitching), scrap must be produced by all individual job item processes.
• The format size of the scrap is considered.

Process Details

Field	Description
Printing Format Code	If a specific Format Code is selected for the size of the Printing Format (paper/material size), the selected code will be displayed. When looking up from the field, only Format codes with type Printed Format will be displayed. In general, Printing Format will depend on the format/size of the Raw Material selected for the Job and the max. size given for the Printing Press. If such info is sufficient, no specific Printing Format Code is needed.
Width	Width – for the Print Sheet Format – is always displayed as Left/right format. Printing Format Width may differ from the format of the Raw material, as you can split or trim the paper to a different Print Format.
Colors Front	A number to indicate No. of Colors on the Front-side of the paper. Looking up into the field will let you specify precisely which colors are to be used.
Manual Colors Front	If the belonging field has been adjusted manually, this field is automatically checked.
Colors Back	A number to indicate No. of Colors on the Back-side of the paper. Looking up into the field will let you specify precisely which colors are to be used.
Manual Colors Back	If the belonging field has been adjusted manually, this field is automatically checked.
Colors in Total	Indicates the total No. of colors for the current Sheet used for print Front and Back. Often the same colors C-M-Y-K will be used for both sides of the Sheet, where 4+4 colors will have Colors in total = 4.
Manual Colors Total	If the belonging field has been adjusted manually, this field is automatically checked.
Printing Method	Displays the calculated or selected Printing Method for the current Job Item/Sheet. PrintVis has the following Options: - Work and Turn: print on the upper surface, then turn the stack and mount new plates to print the back (now upper side). - Turning: print Front-pages on the left half, Back-pages on the right half. Then turn the stack over the vertical axis and print the other side. - Tumbling: same as Turning, but with the horizontal axis. - Perfecting: print Front and Back in one run through the press.
Manual Printing Method	If the belonging field has been adjusted manually, this field is automatically checked.
Film	If Film is still used to produce Printing Plates, you will see how many pcs. of Film is estimated for the actual process, or you can manually input the required quantity.
Manual Film	If the belonging field has been adjusted manually, this field is automatically checked.
Wash-ups	No. of Wash-ups is displayed and is estimated based on how many of the selected Ink-Items for the Process are marked as 'Mixed color'. You may manually override input to estimate wash-ups differently.
Manual Wash-ups	If the belonging field has been adjusted manually, this field is automatically checked.
