AVA Digital Print Rip allows multiple Print Queues for each printer and this provides a number of key advantages.

One benefit addresses a common problem where print parameters are often modified when, for example, the substrate or other settings (ink settings, resolution…) are changed. Sometimes, remembering these numerous setting changes can be difficult and may lead to designs being printed with the wrong settings.

To reduce mistakes, the AVA Digital Print RIP application works with multiple print queues using different printer settings.

For example, you can have a print queue using 720 dpi for high quality prints and another print queue using 360 dpi. The user sends their prints to the appropriate print queue, thus avoiding any confusion.

Another use of multiple print queues is that each queue can be assigned a different priority, thus helping users to prioritise projects just by selecting the appropriate queues.

To create multiple print queues, make a folder in your preferred location on the Hard Drive of the server computer. As a suggestion, we recommend placing Print Queues in Home User > User > Public > Drop Box.  This is because other users can connect to the Public folder without a password, making connection between the design stations and the print server station easy.

Name the folders according to the fabric they are for, so UncoatedCotton, Silk, and so on.

In the AVA Digital Print rip go to File Menu > Open Print Queue… and open the folder you have just created.

Repeat this process until all print queues are open.
