Overview
This topic describes how to update an Offset Product or create a new one.
Product Selection Window
| 1. |  Click the My Store button, then click My Products. |
| 2. | In the black panel of the Product Selection window, click one of the first four Categories (Sheets, Cards/Labels, Envelopes, or Carbonless). |
| 3. |   Click either the Add button to create a new Offset Product, or the Update button to edit an existing one. For this demonstration, we'll add a new product, based on Bulletins, 8-1/2 x 11 over which we've placed the highlight bar. |
New Product Window
When you click the button pointed to by the arrow cursor in the New Product window, the configuration will change from 1/0 to 2/0, and then to 4/0. With Offset products, this is not something that's saved as part of the product's properties, but merely a way to show you pricing for alternate configurations (unlike Copies and Digital, where run configuration is part of the product's property, and where clicking the button will change it).
| 4. | Enter the Name, then click the Size button and change the finished size to 5-1/2 x 8-1/2. |
| 5. | Right-click the Composition slider to lower Composition to Light. |
This is the composition setting the product will default to. It can be changed to one of five different pre-defined settings when we make the quote, or we can enter the actual hours and minutes.
| 6. | Click the Properties button to change Makeready and Run settings. If those were the only properties we wanted to change from the original settings we inherited from Bulletins, we could right-click the Makeready and Run sliders in the New Product window and be done. But we also want to change Stripping, Ink Coverage, and Packaging. |
Offset Properties Window
| 7. | Drag both the Stripping and the Coverage sliders to Low. |
The quick way to change property settings is to use Jet-Entry. Each one of the five sliders has five settings: Very Low, Low, Medium, High, and Very High. Entering a "1" sets a slider to Very Low, entering a "5" sets it to Very High. To move all five sliders to Low, we can simply enter "22222," as shown in the Offset Properties window. If we wanted to increase Spoilage to Medium, we would enter "22322."
| 8. | Click the Packaging button and select Letterbox. Click Ok. |
Packaging Window
| 9. |  Click the Stop button in the New Product window. Uncheck Print 4 Colors and Print 2 Sides to keep our new product from being quoted in those configurations. When we uncheck Print 2 Sides, Work and Turn is unchecked automatically. Click Ok. |
Ok to Print Window
