New information!

The print-preset, also known as a print-style, has been updated by the IT staff. The file still resides in N:\APT print styles, the same location, now named WSJ saved Print Presets.prst the old file has been removed.

This now includes the plotter and the low-res proofer, for both broadsheet and double-truck.
The procedure remains exactly, the same just some new features as previously mentioned.
Thanks

The print style for InDesign requires two things, the low-res proofer needs to be set up on your system first and then it needs this file loaded inside InDesign.

There is a small troubleshooting section in case any problems come up when this is being loaded.
The File is located at n:\APT Print Style\



So the first thing you need to do is have InDesign open and go to the file menu and the go down to the print presets and click define.

Click load.

navigate to to n:\APT print styles

Select the WSJ saved Print Presets.prst and hit open

Then hit OK. At this point the print style would be loaded.

You now have set up your print style and will be able to use the print style within InDesign. This is the option that it gave you under print.

Troubleshooting:

If you get this message this means that the printer is not set up on your system.
Click Cancel, and set up the printer with the following instructions.


Sooo, this is how you add that printer to your system
Go to start printers and faxes

click on add printer

Click next

Select network printer, then hit next

Select find a printer in the directory, then hit next

Type in MNIP, this will give you a list of all the printers in the company, scroll down to where you see the MNIP-WSJ-LOWRES

Click select and the printer will be added to your system

Decide if you want this to be your default printer, then click next.

Click finish, you have added the printer to your computer.
Once this printer has been setup, you will have to go back through the process of setting up your print style.

Any questions?
