We are a short run heatset web printing operation who will be making our first venture into closed loop color this fall. We are installing a new state of the art heatset web with all the bells and whistles....and want to take advantage of the capabilities this new piece of equipment offers....
Our prepress is run with a Rampage workflow, and we use Agfa Amigo no bake plates.
So here is our goal:
We plan on running GCR on all products produced off the new press. We also will be running QTI with system Brunner Instrument Flight. Our desire is to run GCR for the ink saving benefits and also to reduce the casting that comes from 4 color printing. We plan on running to gray balance with Brunner.
Our files will be converted to GCR via Rampage Ink Drop but what should we do with our color bar???? So should we run GCR on it or let it run linear?
Is anyone out their currently running this way...GCR +_and_+ Brunner??? Is there any known issues or things we should look out for???
Any and all help is much appreciated,
