Esko .LEN format specification

[david]

I am looking for information about the compression used in the Esko .LEN format for 1 bit files.

We have the format specs for all of the header data, but it seems that the compression has changed since we last worked with it and we do not have any documentation about this compression change. I am not even sure at this point who to ask for this and so I was hoping someone here could direct me.

TIA

Well after a bit of reading HEX values, we figured it out!
So now we have support for this format in our TIFF Pager software. This includes the ability to create High Resolution online zoomable proofs from these files.

David,

Can you write a LEN file ?

Can you tell me about .LEN specification?
I want to create decoder from LEN to 1-bit tiff for RGB-output Screen Proof using Epson7900 without RIP.
I use FlexoPERfection for save to TIFF now. I want to create low cost solution without any colorproof RIP. Only LEN file as input. I can print colorimetric Screen Proof from TIFF or PDF till 120lpi if use printer's driver only. But from 1-TIFF as source. And I want to use LEN files.

This software does what you want I think.

No. I want to print dots from plates... And use colormanagement for 2/10 grad. observers for small and big color objects. (Panton colors for example). It I can by hand only.

P.S. I sent request to you by Skype. (alrudenko)
