    Alternative to ORIS

    We have been using ORIS software to calibrate and color match our Epson Stylus Pro 7900 to GRACol for many years. We are also using ORIS software to do some color matching between our Litho and Flexo presses. While remodeling our PrePress department, the Dongle containing our licenses for the...

    Ellipse vs Euclidean

    Thanks for your response Gordo. No joke, seriously seeking answers. I came across that article while researching this but didn't get a definitive answer. While informative, what I took away was that all dots seem to have their pros and cons without really pointing to a solid recommendation. I...

    Ellipse vs Euclidean

    I work for a package printing company that prints a large variety of graphics on mostly SBS Paper. Graphics can be simple text and flood colors for cosmetics, packages with images of the food up to more upscale beauty products with a lot of detailed flesh tones and faces. We are currently...

    Automation Engine - worth it or not?

    We have been using AE for about 3 years now and it has been a huge help to our production. Like with everything, there will be growing pains at the beginning if you have a prepress department like mine, with 9 people that had gotten used to doing most things manually, there will be some...

    Kodak Trillia plates?

    Hello all, just wanted to give an update on the issue I was having. It seems the zoom was pretty far off. We don't know what caused it to shift so much since the last time we had maintenance on the machine, but the most recent scheduled maintenance fixed the banding issue. It was in fact not the...

    Kodak Trillia plates?

    Sounds good to me, even though some of that went over my head. Ray, I'll be e-mailing you for some more details. Gordo, Thank you for your help and I'll let you know how it turns out.

    Kodak Trillia plates?

    Ray, I didn't see your post until after I had responded to Gordo. I am using a PlateRite 8100. The lines I have been referring to do appear on the plates themselves. We didn't notice them at first until they started showing up on the press, then we went back and started noticing them on the...

    Kodak Trillia plates?

    Perhaps banding wasn't the right term. We are getting vertical lines spaced about 1/16" apart. It appears more on solid areas. We are having a separate problem with gradients stopping abruptly instead of fading slowly, but that is with all colors and a different issue all together. I didn't mean...

    Kodak Trillia plates?

    As I mentioned we do calibrate on a weekly basis and our numbers are in the same range as they were with our previous plates. We had a team of 4 Kodak people and one from Screen (our imager) here to help with the transition, I hope that something wasn't missed. Should we be aiming for lower...

    Kodak Trillia plates?

    We recently switched to the Trillian plates and are having mixed results. From the Prepress standpoint, I am pleased with how the new plates work. They image/process faster, the chemistry is better, and our weekly calibration has very little variance. Not to mention the blue color is not bad to...
