Thanks Gordo, I will check them out! Tamale

I am currently having viewing booths custom built. Can anyone tell what kind of ballasts to use with D50 lamps? This seems to be a well guarded secret! Tamale

We are having discussions on how long to keep a client's digital file, film and plates. Is there an industry standard or best practice for archiving? Your thoughts are most welcome as we cant seem to come to an agreement! Tamale

I've never heard of standards such as yours. If I were you I'd quit my job and become a consultant! Tamale

Kansasquaker, I really like «Customers don't buy color bars» that's exactly what I will be telling them! Thanks, Tamale

Stephen, the issue is actually from top to bottom. The bottom label being the new run. The gold colour to the right of the letter G is a spot gold.

Thanks Gordo, this is a great exercise, I can use this information in my questions to them. Tamale

Stephen, The labels are produced in sheetfed offset with non uv inks. The substrate is BOPP (Biaxially oriented polypropylene) Here is a pic of the label in question laid on top of the first production run. Tamale

Close Stephen, there numbers result in db76: 4.18. They are using de2000, please refer to the email containing the data they sent.

Here is a pic they sent . Is it me or is there a difference in the two yellow screens?

Its a repeat order but they changed the screen angles on the M and Y because of an apparent moiré. We have not seen any moiré in the previous orders.

The issue is with a label printed with a cmyk yellow-gold background. On the new order we just received the colour is now a reddish-beige and they claim it is within tolerance.

I have a supplier with whom I have a complaint with colour variation in a 4 colour process . He states that his colour is within spec at a Delta E of 5. My experience is with density and not spectrophotometry. Is a Delta E of 5 good? What is the industry standard in the matter? Thanks, Tamale

All I got was a free cruise :(

Instead of using linseed oil, talk to your ink supplier about an recommended reducer. Tamale.
