Correct. The UV ink is kind of magical. The whole thing is covered with it, but you literally cannot see it.
All true.
Also true.
Lots of folks have ideas for how they want it to work: Just like it does now. Print your own barcodes. Type in material codes.
The plan of record right now is to remove saved Proofgrade settings, which have already caused their share of support problems (but are a necessary evil right now). We plan to replace them with saved “your own” settings, so you can record whatever works best for you on your own non-PG materials. (That may or, more likely, may not be the same settings used for similar-looking Proofgrade materials).
Like all plans, though, we’ll continue to listen to reports from customers about what works and what doesn’t, and see if that’s the best path.
