Hello! Question for printers using Equinox to print in 7cp: are there any specific Pantone Solid colors that don't reproduce well? We're looking into ArtPro+ with Equinox & PackProof to move into printing 7cp (CMYKOGV), after having landed a large account of multiple items with multiple...

Hello! We're a user of Metrix 2013 (one standalone license, one operator), and looking to upgrade. We've been quoted a several-license, five-figure price to get to the latest Metrix from EFI, and it seems like overkill for us. We're an offset printer, running one-sided, ganged work. I've...

Hello! Any flexo platemakers out there using Fuji's Flenex waterwash plates, printing UV ink? Looking for feedback on plate quality, print quality, duration on press (# of impressions), ease of use, etc. Also interested to know if they work with HDFlexo screening sets at 4000ppi. Any...

Hello! We've owned our Epson SC P7000 printer for just over three years now. For approximately the past couple months, we've been getting a couple error messages when we first print to it every day: "Paper Jam" and "Carriage Error 1125". Nothing appears to be lodged in the printer, and...

Hello! Our old NCI dot matrix receipt printer (model 1250b) finally stopped working, and now we're unable to print receipts directly from our QC800 barcode verifier. I've looked around on eBay & other sites, and also contacted local printer suppliers, and I can't get anything new at a...

Hello! We're having trouble matching deep blues & purples on our Heidelberg Speedmaster CD-102. We've been doing our own press curves for about a year now (using Curve4 and an X-Rite ES-6000), and most of the time, it works out pretty well (until there's a change to fountain solution, ink...

Hello! Our Epson WT7900 proofer (six years old this month) is clogging in about 1/3 of the yellow nozzles, and no amount of cleaning/power cleaning/physical cleaning has fixed it so far. Here's what we've done: 1. Run cleanings or power cleanings: these usually result in a "Cleaning Error...

Hello! We're a pressure-sensitive and cut-&-stack label printer using Esko's Imaging Engine and Automation Engine for our prepress, with Deskpack Tools in Illustrator. We've been on this system for over nine years. The maintenance contract comes up every year and is a bit of a sticking point...

Hello! Our narrow-web flexo press (a Gallus ECS 340) has the capability to print rotary screen in combination with flexo. Recently we've noticed on certain jobs that the screen printing is out of register with the flexo printing, as if the distortion is off. Specifically, the white screen ink...

Hello! We have had an Epson WT7900 for about two years. Lately, we've noticed a couple issues that we haven't been able to completely eradicate: 1. When we print color ink on top of white ink, those areas looked kind of "cracked". Haven't noticed any issues when there's no other ink printing...

Hello! Lately, I've been getting a font blowout when making proofing and print-ready .pdf files from Illustrator: Converting the fonts to outlines in Illustrator before making the .pdf is a workaround, but I can't figure out the root cause. We recently upgrade to Suitcase Fusion 4 (logged a...

Hello! We are having the occasional issue with our print-ready .pdf files (that we generate out of Illustrator). Whenever the .ai file contains a linked .psd, we end up with a small grayish CMYK "shadow" where the .psd art ends and the vector art begins (in the .pdf only): We can't figure...

Hello! Has anyone out there gone from EskoArtworks' Nexus software to RAMpage? How's it working out for you? I work at a small label printing company that currently runs EskoArtworks' Nexus software for ripping to plates. Our printing processes are about 50% wide format offset and 50% narrow...
