Introducing the OMEGA Programs
Gerber ColorID™ is a separately purchased option and is a fast, efficient, and accurate way to
match a source color to another color.
GQMgr (Gerber Queue Manager) is a holding area for plot files and provides controls for
choosing the plotting and printing order.
The GSP Kern program allows you to kern specific pairs in Gerber fonts and save that kerning
for future use.
GSPPlot is used to plot, cut, and print jobs. It also provides limited job arranging and sizing,
and can install plotters and routers. (GSPTray is recommended for installation of hardware.)
Use GSP Setup to install software (options, libraries, and fonts) and tablets as well as to view
system information.
GSPTray provides easy installation or deletion of printers, plotters and routers and access to
Gerber installed fonts. Through GSPTray you can also display the system identification
information.
ImageRIP™ is a separately-purchased software option used to convert Gerber Plot (PLT) and
Gerber Artwork Definition (GAD) files - as well as many other file formats - to halftones so that
you can print jobs on a large format inkjet printer.
The Vantage Scan II program is used to convert black and white images into vector objects that
can be cut on a plotter or filled and printed.
PALman allows you to create and edit vinyl and foil palettes.
Sentinel Config is used to view and change the settings of your security key.
README displays the latest information about the current version of OMEGA. Review this
important information before using the software.
The Spectratone program is used to create a GerberColor Spectratone™ chart, which is a chart
of the spot colors available when you overprint two foils using a vinyl printer such as the
GERBER EDGE or the GERBER MAXX.
ThumbPrint allows you to output thumbnail representations of selected Gerber plot (PLT) files
to a paper printer.
TT Font Converter converts Windows TrueType fonts into vector-based Gerber fonts that can
be cut on a plotter or filled and printed to a printer.
SplView provides an accurate representation of an EDGE job's foil as it will be applied to the
vinyl. Each foil and cut information are shown as separations.
Running in Demo Mode
OMEGA offers a demonstration mode that allows the software to be loaded and used without a
security block. Demo mode allows virtually all Composer functionality, but jobs cannot be
preserved in any way. For example, jobs cannot be saved, exported or cut/copied using the
clipboard. The GSPPlot program will also run in Demo mode, but jobs cannot be output to a
plotter, Gerber printer, or saved to a spool file.
Demo mode can be used to learn OMEGA on a system that is not dedicated to shop design and
production. Demo mode does allow for paper printing from Composer. By allowing for paper
