Hello, I am trying to find online the difference between these two softwares but I can't get anything clear so far. The main difference seems to be that color quality is also use in the ink room? But not necessarily it seems. A rep from X-Rite offered me color quality v6 to check the spot...

Hi all, I have to work in Illustrator CS3 (the worst version ever) because my company does it but I'd be very happy if I could work in CS4 and backsaving to Illustrator PDF CS3 everytime I save (not saving as...) Do you know if there is a way to achieve this? I know some script might do it but...

Hi, I have a standard FOGRA 39 profile and I have to match it with a profile they use as a proof for a flexo press. What is the best way to achieve it? Once I heard the term "link profile" does it has something to do with this? Or better to run a proof with the profile to match and then read...
