Managing Printing Styles Through Catalogs


Catalog Management

PrintChef's catalog system allows you to specify folders that contain printing styles with "hot button" definitions. A PrintChef hot button printing style can appear on the print-time dialog as a simple push-button printing style. This makes it very easy to select from commonly used printing styles.

The cataloged folders are great for categorizing printing styles (e.g. a folder full of watermarks). These folders appear in a popup menu in the print-time dialog, so you can select any category of printing style easily.

        



How Catalogs & "Hot Buttons" work
  • PrintChef catalogs are folders containing special printing styles.
  • Each special printing style has a snapshot image, and a "hot button" name. The name appears in the Catalog Organization dialog.
  • You can open catalogs to see the available hot buttons, and then check which ones you want to appear at print-time
  • You can also order the hot buttons so that they will appear the way you want them on the print dialog.

A Chosen Catalog Shown at Print-Time
  • The catalog's chosen printing styles appear as "hot buttons" on the print-time dialog's "Styles" tab.
  • Clicking a hot button, selects the features of that printing style for the next print.
  • A snapshot of the selected printing style shows on the dialog.
  • The printing style's description appears to help you choose the correct printing style at print-time.
