Hi - here is an option or two. I use a number list generator that can skip / jump per list. Six spots on the sheet? Six lists, total divided by six, make six "page areas" w/ six merge boxes. Away you go! Cut and stack. :) or As I have posted before: Imposition Studio has "Variable Data Printing...

Ran long edge for years no problem. Big deal is - the ART - size and orientation. MAKE SURE that the PDF you send is the right size and orientation. The Xante software has great options to position the image on the page.

Which is when we re-quote the job and put in an annoyance fee.

Thank you. Here is a link to a Fourier Transform Photoshop Plug-in (free-pay-as-you-want) to go with this. FFT is very useful for removing moire when unavoidable. But be careful - the math can damage your view of reality. YMMV

Those kinds of jobs were the most fun we had. :ROFLMAO:

But the question was 'how to create an individual press profile that will be utilized across multiple presses at different facilities?' and your response says fingerprint. You assume ALL the presses are calibrated. The poster says "Would you just run up a characterization on one press and roll...

And 'we' all believed them.

How many of us had a 'digital vendor salesman' take note our larger customers and then try to sell them machines?

Wow Gordo. Something I never had occasion to do - or attempt. Will add to the arsenal . . . :cool:

Do NOT average - that leaves no stability in the results as any one machine will effect all the others. If it is IMPOSSIBLE to fingerprint individual machines and/or implement different profiles at proof/output stage THEN you could, conceivably, use the same profile for all. I firmly believe...

Me thinks not an answer to the question.

LoL - Best to pepper the blogs, trade press etc. with relevant negative comments to keep people from buying ADDITIONAL NEW BOAT ANCHORS. Sigh. R2R would take maybe a decade or more to litigate IF it existed. The lawyers are the only ones who make money. Not cynical. Just practical. Caveat...

Thanks Gordo! An early 'type' of drum scanner WITHOUT any of the nice network, storage mediums, or computer assembly. EVERYTHING was manual. And the MATH to manage the machine adjustments/settings would have been manual as well. And I thought scanner operators of the 1990's had a hard job. Just WOW.

No idea.

The technical notes must be interesting. Manual screening was/is an art. What kind of scanner was used? And then a filter set-up for the colors? Was the original a print or negative?
