Features

• Every feature at a glance

  Every Studio Cloud feature built today in one table: what it does, where to find it on screen, and which article explains it.

• Start with the stock

  Studio asks what you are printing on before anything else, so nothing it offers can be refused later. By material, by product, or from files.

• Nesting by shape

  Studio packs stickers by their outline, not the box round each, and says how many sheets that saved. On by default, and honest when it saves none.

• Bleed, banners and panels

  Artwork runs past the blade, a banner is one print at its size, and a banner wider than the roll is split into equal panels with bleed and overlap.

• The whole roll and the roll view

  Studio lays a sheet out to the roll's real width, says how much of the roll a job uses, and draws waiting jobs along the whole roll, colour-coded.

• Ganged rolls and Print at N% full

  Jobs on the same stock share one roll. Studio says when it is full enough, a person presses Print, and the connector writes one file for the roll.

• The preflight

  Every job is checked before it can go. A stop holds it, a look is your call, every finding says what to do, and Fix these issues clears them in one go.

• Materials and Quick Sets

  Each stock is a roll on a shelf with its limits and the Quick Set your RIP rips it with, typed once so a job is never found out at the RIP.

• The shop's Library

  Swatches, palettes, recipes, templates and saved shapes live in the shop's account, the same in every browser. Anybody in the shop may change them.

• Colour profiles

  Keep your own colour profiles with the day they were measured and who measured them, beside the ones PostPress publishes. Not yet applied to a job.

• Proof links

  Send a customer one link to one picture of their sheet. They approve it or comment, with no account, and every answer is kept as a line of its own.

• Save, history and Go back to this

  A job is kept in your shop's account, every save is kept and none is written over, and Go back to this opens an earlier one as a new save.

• The day's plan

  Studio suggests which press takes which job, grouped so there are the fewest roll changes, and a supervisor puts the day on the presses in one go.

• Put on a press: the hand-over

  The hand-over shows what goes to the press, runs the checks before a put, and ends in Put it on the press's name. A connector writes the file.

• Download the print file

  When the press connector cannot reach the press, Download the print file gives you the same PDF to drop into the press's hot folder by hand.

• The press connector and hot folders

  A small program beside the press reports your presses, fetches the jobs you put on them and writes each into the folder your RIP watches. Outward only.

• Works with the RIP you own

  Studio hands each sheet to the RIP you already run by writing it into a watched folder. ONYX is the RIP Studio is built most for and works with today.

• Templates and presets

  Save a job's set-up for repeat work, and see PostPress's preset for each press model beside the presets you add yourself. Yours win where set.

• People, roles and seats

  A supervisor invites people by e-mail, gives each a role and takes them out again. Seats count people against the licence, never computers.

• Licences and taking your work out

  A licence covers your shop and an agreed number of people. If it ends, Studio stays open to read, and a supervisor can take everything out as one file.
