I'd like to learn more about the impact that AI-generated images are having on prepress workflows: how frequently customers are submitting them; what kinds of production problems they can cause; whether they create legal issues around privacy, ownership, and copyright. How are shops dealing with...

Like their forebears at the time of the nation’s founding, printers are doing what they do best to popularize the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution of the United States. Read about it here...

Can you imagine printing packages and labels without black ink? Neither can I. But the New York State Legislature can, and some of its members want to force the industry in that direction by banning the pigment carbon black from packaging and label production. It's just one part of a sweeping...

These explanations are great–they really clarify the situation for me. Thanks!

Have you tried asking at Printers Advantage (Printers Advantage), a site created by Heidelberg for users of its small-format equipment? Go to the site, register, and post your question in the "Ask the Experts" section, where you'll see a lot of Q&A about the QM-46 and other small presses from...

Here goes: why couldn't we print in color with an RGB plus black ink set? When transparent CMY inks (the subtractive primaries) overprint, they produce R, G, or B (the additive primaries) depending on what combination is used. Wouldn't the same thing happen, but in reverse, with overprints of...
