Anybody using specific add-ons for prepress / print production ?

10 pts to that man, back to school for me!

the piece of film with a pattern on that can be overlaid on top of halftones to detect what lpi and angle is by showing a moire pattern ? I have been googling for 30 mins with no joy !!

It will come but you will have buy an additional license :)

Hi there, I believe embedding .cxf data in PDFs is still a work in progress with ISO / Ghent PDF group + all those other clever chaps that seems to take ages to agree on anything!, but is anybody currently embedding .cxf colour data within PDFs ? Thanks

Nearly all artwork for packaging, labels, cartons etc is done using Adobe Illustrator. Multi page leaflets are the exception as traditionally these are handled better in InDesign.

Am I right that Pixel+ is the same as Microcell but for finer screen ruling, microcell I believe is for corrugated ?

Do you believe Pixel+ really make that much difference if you already have HD flat top dot capability ?

Did somebody say 'wet proofing' ? if you are printing on analogue press you need analogue proof. I am now going to take cover and wait for the incoming barrage ;)

What happens when they are running Indichrome, CMYK Orange + Green etc ??

35% that must be a typo!, packaging gravure in general used to be 5% min dot, these days 3% with some outfits with the latest tech now holding 1%. If they can re-produce a CMYK image without the 35% restriction then why would it be different for a spot colour? Despite there merits right or...

;) I think they where hoping for freebie!

Here is something I have been wondering which proofing devices could successfully produce an accurate proof for a extended gamut strategy using CMYK+Orange, green and violet ? Presumably a Epson 7900 would be ok for Orange + Green but wouldn't cut it for when Violet is used ?

It could be worse, try asking the same question on some of the Linkedin forums and see how many people chirp up offering their wares! ;)

I should point out we are convertor not a brand owner just in case there is any confusion. Either we sell Epson's too cheap or your paying too much or you getting through too many hard copy revisions!
