    What settings are you using for Color Input in Fiery?

    An overall tint on the sheet sounds like a rendering intent issue rather than a problem with the ICC Profile If your intent is not set to Perceptual, change it and see if this removed the background tint, which I suspect is the colour management attempting to simulate paper colour.

    Xpo Error 10094

    Good luck with that if it's a Magnus 400, they EOL'd them so we're on our own. Machine has run perfectly for over a week, now the same problem has recurred :(

    Xpo Error 10094

    I got ours running again by restoring the configuration from a backup, this caused some other weird behaviour (cannot prepare drum for loading) so restored current config, this resulted in original issue, restored from old backup again and everything is now working.

    The best inkjet under $1500 for sharp text printing?

    The way that resolution is defined on inkjet printers is somewhat inconsistent. Take for example the old Scitex Iris, with a stated resolution of 300/600 dpi it produced a print much sharper than anything else available at the time, including the HP5000 with a specified resolution of 1440dpi...

    Die cutting tolerance between shapes

    We usually allow a minimum of 5mm between cutting rules, but best to ask your die cutting contractor or the die maker as they will have their own tolerances.

    Is Antivirus Software Still Needed?

    Norton (which used to be a good software company when Peter Norton owned it) and McAfee are the worst for spamming, I have used Sophos since the late 1990s starting with Sophos Mailmonitor for Linux on our mail server, and now using their cloud based solutions. It does it's job efficiently and...

    Help with lines showing only on black

    They look like the lines you get when either your lasers need calibrating or your lead screw needs lubricating, however it should be on all colours. It may be that the combination of calibration error and screen angle may be causing the lines to be more visible on the black. I would start by...

    Aqueous Coating

    I would not normally run an aqueous coating over UV inks, usual practice would be to dry the UV inks using interdeck UV lamps then apply a UV curable flood coating in the same pass.

    How to better dial in CIP3 data for KBA 106

    Heidelberg will sell the Prinect Production Manager as a separate module to replace Prepress Interface, we did get a quote from them when the hardware (Win XP with parallel port dongle) eventually failed. The price was prohibitive, so I have moved our Prepress interface onto a Win XP VM with a...

    How to better dial in CIP3 data for KBA 106

    We have no adjustments available at the front end in Prinergy - see screenshot Press characteristic curves are applied at the press side, in our case using Heidelberg Prepress Interface It is possible to set ink zone number and size prepress side, but PPI also sets that at the press size. That's...

We have been printing books for over 30 years, our first toner based machine was a Xerox Docutech, we now have an Indigo digital press...

    Paper wave/curl caused by office laser printer

    Cost per page is significantly higher for desktop printers than commercial equipment, once you calculate the cost of toner, paper and other supplies, I am quite sure your cost per book will be higher than using a print on demand service. You may want to look into this company for your book...
