The following new features are available in version 1.22.2 of $PRODUCT_NAME_WORKFLOW:

Impose Editor – In version 1.22.2, existing features have been expanded and improved:

• Shape Nesting – Vertical Repeats – In version 1.22.2, the Shape Nesting algorithm was enhanced to support the generation of vertical repeats in addition to horizontal repeats when arranging irregular shapes. In many cases, vertical repeats are required in combination with the "Offcut optimized" option to achieve the most space-efficient Impose. [PPDWF-13369] [PPDWF-13342]
• Step & Repeat – Trimming of Subsequent Pages – Starting with this version, trimming of the Impose for subsequent pages of a multipage Step & Repeat is also possible when the "Continuous Printing" option is not enabled. If Continuous Printing is enabled, all pages of a multipage Step & Repeat remain the same size. [PPDWF-13271]
• Bound Product – Restrictions and Notes – The following functionality has been introduced or restricted in the "Bound Product" impose mode:
  • The multipage sequence of a multipage Print Item can no longer be changed.
  • Individual pages of the Print Item cannot be deleted.
  • In the "Print Item" tab a notification is displayed if the number of copies or the dimensions of the TrimBox differ between the pages. [PPDWF-12184] [PPDWF-11844]
• "Print Items" tab – Select a View – Starting from this version, users can choose between two display modes in the Print Items tab:
  • List of all pages – displays all individual pages across all Print Items. Depending on the impose mode, the dimensions, scaling and number of copies can be edited for each page. This functionality is not available in the "Bound Product" impose mode.
  • List of all Print Items – groups multipage Print Items as a single entry. Depending on the impose mode, the dimensions, scaling and number of copies can be edited for each page. This functionality is not available in the "Bound Product" impose mode. [PPDWF-11844]
• Marks "Bearer Bars" – In version 1.22.2 , the new Bearer Bars mark is provided. It allows Bearer Bars to be created for the left and right side edges of an Impose Sheet. This also enables the output of separations for conventional imposes via $PRODUCT_NAME_WORKFLOW. [PPDWF-12177] [PPDWF-13056] [PPDWF-13167] [PPDWF-13168]
• Color Control Stripes – GMI Verification – Starting with version 1.22.2, a JSON file describing the GMI Color Control Stripe can be imported. The import can be performed for the Color Control Stripe mark – Process Colors and used for GMI Verification. [PPDWF-12244]
• Marks "GMI Mark" – Starting with this version, the GMI Mark is available and required for GMI Verification. It is provided as a sheet mark: the distance to the Sheet and Artboard, Width, Height, and Stroke Width, can be configured. [PPDWF-13840]

Color Management – In version 1.22.2, a new feature is introduced in the Color menu under Profiling Projects, based on the GMG OpenColor Engine. This solution supports the complete management of color policies – from Pre-Linearization through Linearization and Ink Limit to Characterization. Please note that this feature is available in version 1.22.2 exclusively for beta customers with an enabled beta permission. The final release of this feature will be made available to all new customers with version 2.0.0. Existing customers can switch from the ColorLogic solution to the GMG implementation. Further information on how this process works will be provided upon the release in June 2026.

• "Prepare Technical Spot Colors" Fixup – In this version, a new Fixup has been provided that automatically normalizes Technical Spot Colors in a standardized manner during the upload of print data. In this process, Technical Spot Colors are automatically extracted from DeviceN constructs, Technical Spot Colors set to "Overprint" and objects with a 0 % tint value of a Technical Color are removed. [PPDWF-11355] [PPDWF-12712] [PPDWF-12583] [PPDWF-12715] [PPDWF-11585]
• Upload and Normalization Settings – Checking Technical Spot Colors – In addition to the new Fixup, checks have been implemented that flag invalid Technical Spot Colors in in the Upload and Normalization settings in the "Preflight only (no correction)" check-in mode. Technical Spot Colors within DeviceN constructs, as well as knockout Technical Spot Colors with a tint value of 100 %, are reported as errors. [PPDWF-13007]

• Batch Processing – The following additional improvements have been made to Batch Processing:
  • Batch Processing History – The "Batch Processing History" tab now also displays Batch Processing jobs that were processed continuously, not only those processed as bundles. The tab has been renamed accordingly. [PPDWF-12984]
  • Selection of Production Configuration – The last used Production Configuration used is saved for the user. If a new Production Configuration is created in Batch Processing, it is automatically preselected after creation. [PPDWF-13254]

From now on, this is no longer allowed; an error message is displayed when saving. [PPDWF-13834]

Production Configuration – "Export Imposition Report" Operation is being replaced – If the "Export Imposition Report" operation was used in a Production Configuration, it was incorrectly replaced with the "Export Mounting Instruction" operation when the configuration was edited again. This bug has been fixed. [PPDWF-13199]

Forwarded Automation Jobs – Batch Processing – Forwarded Automation Jobs that were intended to be processed as bundles were not handled as bundles in the forwarded Production Configuration during the "Create Impose" operation. The bundle is now preserved as a bundle in subsequent processing steps as well. This issue has been fixed. [PPDWF-13292]

"Create Impose with Auto Nesting" Operation – When the "Preserve Processing Sequence" option was enabled, no nestings were created. This bug has been fixed. [PPDWF-13427]

Incorrect Display of the Print Item Preview – When an imposition was created and saved, and the Print Item in the Production Job was subsequently replaced, the original preview continued to be displayed in the imposition. However, the rendered output was correct. This bug has been fixed. [PPDWF-13266]

Incorrect Measurement – i1Pro 3 Plus with Transmission Measurement – Measurements performed with i1Pro 3 Plus devices in transmission mode could produce incorrect results. This bug has been fixed. [PPDWF-5086] [PPDWF-8237]

Creating a CMYK+White+White Over+Varnish Printer – White Over and Varnish could not be created for this combination on a Durst printer. This issue has been resolved. [PPDWF-13996]

"Empty Trash" Routine – Print Items from Legacy User Interface – Print Items that were moved to the trash via the legacy user interface were not processed by the "Empty Trash" routine and therefore were not deleted. After migration, these Print Items are now correctly included and processed. This bug has been fixed. [PPDWF-13430]

Editing multiple Articles/Print Items – When changing a value for multiple selected articles or Print Items, values in user-defined fiels were incorrectly updated for all other entries. From now on, values in user-defined fields are only updated when the value in the user-defined field itself is changed. This issue has been fixed. [PPDWF-13857]

Create a PDF Printer – When creating a PDF printer, uploading an ICC color profile to the "Output Color Space" section was previously required to generate the color policy.
