Hi, Mike F. Most users use InSite to proof content, not color. There is a color approval option that requires the purchase of a Kodak Matchprint Virtual kit and qualifying display. It will NOT allow the user to approve the color unless the server first verifies the display has been recently...

This is a common complaint. Honestly, I don't fully understand why though. Before soft proofing, printers often send out hard proofs with a proof approval form. That form usually had one line for final approval signature. And, only one person would sign it and return the proofs with the signed...

Does anyone know if Asura can import an Acrobat Distiller job option (setting)? I don't really need to know the specifics of how to do it, just need to know if it can be done. Thanks. Regards, Brent Marple

Try dumbing down your postscript to level 2. If that doesn't work, try level 1. Sounds suspiciously like a postscript issue. It's been more than 10 years since I last touched a Panther. Good luck.

Preps 6 Preps 6 I'd highly recommend you contact Kodak and request a demonstration of Preps 6. It isn't out yet, but is a complete re-write–extremely cool stuff. It looks nothing like the same clunky Preps interface we've been using for years. Regards, Brent

I've recently sent Terry an Email in hopes of getting a G7 conversation going. Thanks to everyone who offered suggestions! Regards, Brent

We're looking for a G7 consultant that has successfully implemented the G7 process in a web offset plant. Seems that a lot of consultants have plenty of sheetfed experience, but lack solid and proven web experience. If anyone out there has a recommendation I'm all ears. We actually thought we...

Convince the school to buy a few copies of InDesign for Windows. Publisher is a nightmare, really isn't intended for professional print in my opinion (I'm certain most would agree). We won't even accept a Publisher file. I realize most commercial shops don't always have the ability to refuse...

Bindery and Softproofs Bindery and Softproofs Kodak filled a void for the press room with PressProof. Now they need to create a product that would work for the bindery. Something cheap, effective and ties directly into Prinergy somehow. The page flip feature might be a possibility, but wasn't...

Eizo is where it's at Eizo is where it's at Pricey, but worth every penny. I'd go with Eizo' ColorEdge CG line. Good luck!

GMG vs. ORIS vs. Kodak GMG vs. ORIS vs. Kodak We conducted a shootout between GMG, ORIS and Kodak. All three performed rather well. ORIS was probably the easiest to maintain. What disturbed me was how long they took to turn around our proof request. We had all three vendors attempt to match...

Are you post baking your plates?

GMG, ORIS, Kodak shootout GMG, ORIS, Kodak shootout Our company conducted an inkjet RIP shootout last October. We asked the three vendors CGS, GMG and Kodak to provide us with inkjets based off of our specific Kodak Approval for comparison. We provided them with Kodak Approval proofs that...
