Moving on with TestConfigs

Once you’ve RIPped a job with the TestConfigs mentioned previously, you can start with additional TestConfigs or develop your own. Take a look at the files in SW\TestConfig; the purpose of each file is summarized in its first line. The commands and options used by these files are detailed in the Harlequin Extensions Manual.

It is good practice to take a copy of a supplied TestConfig file and save it under a different name before starting to edit it.

From v13.1r0, TestConfigs are also provided as JSON files that replicate the functionality of standard ones (the standard ones are written in Postscript). These example JSON config files can be found in the “SW\TestConfig\JSON” directory and are used in the same way as standard Postscript ones. For example: 

clrip  -c  JSON\CMYKComposite300dpi.json  MyTestFile1.pdf

(Note the reference to the JSON\ directory)

For more information about working with JSON configuration files see JSON configuration.
