1.ButtonStore Click the My Store button, then click My Products.
2.In the black panel, click one of the first four Categories (Sheets, Cards/Labels, Envelopes, or Carbonless).
3.ButtonAddButtonChange Click either the Add button to create a new offset product, or the Update button to edit an existing one. For this demo, we'll add a new product, based on "Bulletins, 8-1/2x11" over which we've placed the highlight bar.

ANote

When you click the button pointed to by the arrow in the product window, the configuration will change from 1/0 to 2/0, and then to 4/0. With offset products, that's merely a way to show pricing for alternate run configurations. It's not saved as part of the product's properties.

 

4.Enter the Name, then click the Size button and change the finished size to 5-1/2x8-1/2.
5.Right-click the Composition slider to lower composition to Light. This is the setting the product will default to. It can be changed to one of five different pre-defined settings when you make the quote, or you can enter the actual time in 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 product window and be done. But we also want to change stripping, ink coverage, and packaging.

7.Drag the Stripping, Coverage and Makeready sliders to low, and the Run slider to easy.

ANote
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 match the example, you would enter "22322" in the box pointed to by the arrow.

 

8.Click the Packaging button and select Letterbox. Click OK, then close the properties window with OK as well.
