I have a graphic designer that is working on signage for client that expects critical color. For that reason, they asked the following questions: How should they prep my designs for high quality vinyl printing? Are there specifications that they should follow specific for vinyl signage; 300...

Here are two images of the problems we are having. The second is the jumbled pages that started to occur when we unloaded a batch of finished books. The first image is something the students say comes up every time they start the PB job. They have just been hitting continue and things seem to...

Thanks. My student thought of that as well. We don't have the post inserter so we would have to run it back through the machine.

I understand that we have to print on an oversize sheet for bleeds on the top, outside, and bottom of the book. What I am concerned with is the edge of the page that constitutes the spine. We are getting a white line in the crack of the spine. Is there anything that can be done? I understand...

I assume that we would have a thin white space but not as big as it is in the picture.

Do you folks have challenges with internal bleeds using the Do bleeds internally in the perfect bound publication cause problems? Seems like we are getting a white edge at the spine. Not sure if it is something that we need to correct within InDesign or the PDF file. We want a bleed on the...

Thank you. That is a big help understanding what is happening in the PB process. The KN is vague at best. Have you ever included a fold out/gate fold in a perfect bind project? Seems like the manual states that it is possible.

Like I stated for Steve0, Thanks for the response. I know it was last year but we are facing another project and I want to make sure we are covering this correctly (no pun intended). So if we use 18"5 inch stock all the time, do we just reposition the image to make sure that it fits...

Does anyone have experience with the PB 503 perfect binding unit available on the Konica Minolta AccurioPress and BizHub? It seems that it is a bit finicky when it comes to the size of a pre-printed covers and the main pages of the document. We were able to bind a document but we can't seem to...

I stress that my students should understand spot colors when working with Esko's DeskPack. I gave an assignment to create a pizza box with 3 specific colors. When I noticed my student using an additional color I stated that they can simulate the additional color with a tint of one of the three...

I came across a Heidelberg KSBA Cylinder 18" X 22 1/2" that sounded like it might be available for a reasonable price. It may need a bit of work but I believe it is good shape. As I understand this is actually a two color letterpress? Would this be suitable for a teaching situation? The size...

Any good resources to assist in the understanding of how the proofing RIP will get around this? I do have access to EFI's XF RIP. Currently I am working with photography, not printing. Would use of the RIP still help?

I understand that the color management needs to be turned off. What I am questioning is if Mac OS 10.9 or the Epson driver for the 7880 could be causing a problem with providing occur. When I print from i1 Profiler using my existing Epson print driver both ColorSync and Epson Color Controls are...

Was working in an educational institution where we had i1 Profiler and the i1io connected to a Windows machine. We were using dual monitors, one cheap and the other a NEC PA301w monitor. Output is a Epson 7880. We then moved and hooked up the NEC monitor to an iMac 2.0 GHz Intel Core i% with 8...
