OK...let me start by saying I'm NOT a RAMPage user, simply the IT guy trying to troubleshoot a problem. I'll describe the issue as best I can as it was shown to me. First, it seems someone who was trying to 'clean up' our RAMPage folder on the server inadvertently dumped the Printer profile...

DIP - Digital Imposition Proof... We have a Fuji Luxell for CCPs (Color Contract Proofs) but the cost incurred to produce these is often too high for the customer so we're looking at lower cost alternatives for this situation. Certainly not ooking to 'replace' CCPs with DIPs, just trying to...

It's supposed to be primarily for position, but most customers still ask why the color and quality is so terrible. Once we explain that we can provide a color contract proof which would match what comes off the press (theoretically) but at a considerably higher price...they stick with the DIP...

Hi everyone, We've been using an old HP DesignJet 1050C Plus for our DIPs and have noticed that the quality level seems to be worse than it once was. I was asked to look into the issue to see if it may be something that is set incorrectly in either the printer driver or the RIP. I can't see...

For this application, screen printing is really the only viable solution. Typically, skateboards are printed on during the manufacturing stage between the lamination and final finishing stage. The screen printed image is then covered with multiple layers of clear coat or polyurethane to protect...

Re: Flight Check Pro vs. Pit Stop? Wow...this place is great! Thanks to everyone who has taken the time to reply to this question as well as those who have reached out via email or phone. It looks like we'll probably have to use both since we recieve pretty much any type of file the customer...

Which one is best? And why? I would appreciate any opinions from users of either or both. We are about to upgrade and rework our entire Preflight process and I'd love to know from those in the trenches which one is fastest and allows for the most automation and ease of use/reporting, etc...

Re: Color Contract Proof - Printer Recommendations? Thanks All!

Re: uDirect/XMPie/Printer Site Fulfillment Using In Design CS3 - PLEASE HEL Re: uDirect/XMPie/Printer Site Fulfillment Using In Design CS3 - PLEASE HEL Thank you both for your insight and the replies. I'm going to check with EFI just in case! -Jeremy

Re: Color Contract Proof - Printer Recommendations? Thanks Todd! I had heard many good things about the Epsons, but wasn't sure what piece of software would make the transition as painless as possible. I'll look into this further. Thanks again! -Jeremy

Re: Strange PDF Issue with Onyx - Any Ideas? Thanks to everyone for their input and taking the time to post a response. The information I got was very helpful, although other than realizing that ONYX evidently sucks across the board..I was still unable to pinpoint the issue. We simply open in...

Hi all, I have been assigned the task of finding a 'low cost' alternative to producing CCPs. We currently use a Fuji Luxel Final Proof 5600 and would continue to use that for those clients who require it, but it is my understanding that there are much lower cost solutions out there these days...

Re: Strange PDF Issue with Onyx - Any Ideas? Thanks Scott...I'll look into this. What you described has happened before so this may be the ticket. Thanks to you also Leonard! I wanted to upload the file, but it's too large. :( We'll check this out and reply accordingly.

Re: Strange PDF Issue with Onyx - Any Ideas? I'll have to see if I can make it a little smaller...it's about 54MB. When you say 'overprinting'...do mean incorrect in the way the pdf is created (something set wrong in IDD or Acrobat) or do you feel that it could be an 'overprint' setting within...

Good morning all, I've had a couple of issues lately with pdfs that have been created for wide format output. (I would've posted this question in the WF forum, but figured it has more to do with pdf creation than wf printing) So far, I've not been able to determine the issue, but I'm quite...
