wow, thanks for your extended answers! - short ones too :) - The company i work for is a merge of three different companies ( two basically ) a big offset printer and a smaller but more ''effective'' digital one. The differences in culture and job ethics are vast, and for most people it's...

Hi all, It's been a while since i last posted, or even visited the forum. I 've got a couple of questions and i really hope to have your insight here. We are trying to reconfigure the production workflow, in a midsize plant. We do offset, digital, some wide format, bindery ( except sewn...

- a little bit late i suppose - konica file specs for KM1 were, and might still be x1a, so vistasecured should flat files before rip. If not, he may run into problems.

Hi folks! I'd like to hear your experience on color consistency of KM1. I'd like to hear about color variations in high volume jobs ( if there are any color variations or high volume jobs ). I'd also like to hear about reprints, if you can safe and easily reprint a previous job, or you must...

It will be done without meta. I'm helping a printer who bought a suprasetter/meta/signa/shooter set his new workflow. Till now a service bureau made films for them, and before filming they gave him a ''normalized'' pdf to get his customer approval. Since there's no normalizer option without...

good morning, meta -> metadimension, heidelberg's rip

Could there be a way to export a pdf from meta, keeping text live - even outlined could do -. I've checked the pdf export output plan with no success. Checked meta's manual, nothing there too. The only options i am given is the resolution to which the file will be rasterizerd, and a ''no...

I had a brief view on 2016 documentation, much better than 2011 - as far as i remember it-, lets hope the builtin help has improved too...

To be honest, i'd be very surprised if the built in help and heidi's pdf files provides proper guidance for an operator on how to set up the hot folders. The guys that installed and configured 2011 prinect in the shop i worked back then, arrived with a 20pages ''manual'' which they followed step...

Hi all, In the printshop i worked a couple of years ago, i used to send the imposed pdf to metadimention from cockpit, then send meta send it to shooter, gave it a last check and send it to our ctp. Now, there's a small shop who bought a ctp, signa/meta and shooter as ''standalone'' apps, and...

It wasn't excel export but the character set option in vdp editor, thanks for your help!

The csv file was exported from excel. With ''chinese'' i mean characters with wrong encoding, that's why i use quotes. I'll upload shortly the before and after files. I tried saving utf 8, didn't see any 16 option but i'give it a try

Checking out the dropbox link, i see that the problem lies in the excel export.... I think this must be the same problem for all non latin characters encoding ( Kyrilic etc ) so if any user has an idea how to deal with it, i'm all ears!

Thanks I've made an example file, here's the csv with an english column and a greek column and the pdf output https://www.dropbox.com/s/1j7g8atr90b0ope/example-pdf%20export.pdf?dl=0 https://www.dropbox.com/s/5sy709ugc6begmw/days%20eng.csv?dl=0

Hi all, I runned into a serious problem. If my excel-csv file contains english characters everything works fine. When i try to make a vdp file with greek characters i get ''chinese'' instead. I don't even know were to start from. I thought that character encoding is standard unicode for all...

Same here, jumped from undesirable employer to label printer, but with a heavy price on my salary... ( At least i'm getting paid ). Still getting calls from ex employer's collaborators who expect me to set them up with minimal wage hourly rates.... :-p Since you are not really good at sales -...

ok, but that little cleverish prepress guy could do better telling the artist to save his file as pdf, than playin Gordo and asking '' a pdf of his file''. We tell them what they must do, step by step and still getting s@it, i hope the creative director passed by a couple of hours later with one...

Not quite sure what you exactly mean. Those were 3 128paged 20x20cm leaflets. For reasons not relevant to you, the imposition should be done in work and turn mode, and every sheet should hold a four up of each booklet: e.g. Sheet one Pages 128 - 1-2-127 of booklet n1 Pages 128 - 1-2-127 of...

If the job is color critical conversion should be done in photoshop so to check it and most probably make adjustments. I'm sorry to say that even ''premium'' clients only care for low cost and quick ( quick like deliver tomorrow morning ) service, so converting in photoshop is something i rarely...
