I hear ya. All Mac based here except for the Fiery RIP and an old PCs to control Duplo equipment which I have MF loaded on and access it with Microsoft Remote Desktop. MF works pretty well that way. No way will I ever go Cloud with accounting or quoting. I used to tell Hal he needed to use...

Why are you no longer using Morning Flight? I am able to still use it and it still does a good job.

Anybody have a good source for 5 or 7 ring 8.5 x 11 binders?

I have been running Caldera for 6 years or so with a Canon and a HP and I have never seen it do anything like that. Are you Step & Repeating on the RIP or telling it to do more than one copy on the printer. I wonder if you have created tif proofs and does it ever so up there.

Hardware glitch maybe? Something showing up trying to pull the IP address of your RIP or Printer when this happens? First thing I would start looking at is your connection. If networked, is the IP of the printer set to static and is that IP address reserved in the Router (if used in the...

Reason I asked was, I had some issues if S&R was used with Contour and then not set back to Standard even if S&R was not enabled on subsequent print jobs if multiple copies were called for. But I never saw it split up an image, only overlapped other images. I am only running HP and Canons. I...

Does it happen only with Step and Repeat?

I don't see where the light would leak in from the top of the machine. The open area (crack) between the doors might be another thing. I am testing that right now with a blocker sheet to cover that up. After a magenta drum change the the uniform density always seems good but then a while I can...

Go into Technical Key Operator, under Administrator, go to Full Width Array and first run the Banding and Streaks diagnostics, then do the two routines under Density Uniformity. Techs should have already done this but it won't hurt to do it again. If that doesn't help then find out if they...

Manual is best. I don't do automatic because it is not accurate enough and manual its much quicker and most times doesn't waste any paper. Auto does not have magnification as a priority and how many sheets are cut dead on? Plus it is usually close enough that you can make the profile adjustments...

Do you guys realize the CMYK values listed in Spot On are the values that are sent to the printer/specific papers. They really have nothing to do with the colors listed in any spot color book. Yes the libraries have the lab values which the printer paper output profile uses to determine the...

Why are you using Pantone to CMYK in your design software which defeats the whole purpose of using Spot Colors and having the ability to set the output to press color values via Spot On color libraries.

To be able to make specific color adjustment like your asking for, these should be spot colors so that any changes only affect that specific color and not any of the others. If not spot colors, the other option is to use ImageViewer and select each color to replace. Make sure you have Composite...

My experience is the select Spot Group is put at the top of the list just like if you would have have moved it in Spot Pro. The real advantage is that you can save a preset for that specific customer.

Why not just select the Spot Group under "Use spot group:" instead of Default?
