Import Queue Background Image
Import any file to set as a queue background image in the preview area.
Note: This feature is used to preview jobs on any background. To see the substrate color preview accurately, use a PNG or other file type with alpha transparency.
Export Queue Background Image
If you’ve set a queue background image from the camera, you can export it to help with design.
For example, with a calibrated camera and media, take a picture to set the queue background image. Once exported, you can design around the substrate features (such as pockets) and import the new image as a queue background image (without moving the camera or switching media). Then place your output and align it on the preview, and print.
