Is anyone using tablets in their facility on a daily basis for production? How about apps? What apps have you come across that you find useful in your day to day operations? Just curious, Steve

I'm hoping someone out there can help with this issue. I am wondering if .len files and .tif files can maintain their spot color names when created? I am using AE10 and a GMG rip that is proofing .tif files created from a flexrip and my problem is that the Pantone library on my proofer does not...

1) You could try using offset angles. 2) Using a Chainlink dot shape that runs with the web direction. (this will help with a banding issue) 3) Converting the C and Y to a spot green thus preventing any moire with K.

Rob, Do you have contact info for consulting? Email, phone number. Do you have experience with developing automation for backstage? Thanks, Steve

Can anyone recommend any books, websites, classes, webinars etc. that cover everything about profiles? I'm looking for information on building the various types of ICC profiles, using profiles correctly throughout applications like Illustrator and Photoshop, checking the integrity of profiles...

Do you have the ability to send screened tiff files to your GMG instead of using GMG Ripserver to do the screening? If your files are already screened and your sending a dotproof with an MX5 profile you should be able to see the samba screening along with the conventional screening on your proof.

Does anyone know if ICEserver works the same for flexography? I don't see why not but I noticed that it is referred to on their website as ICEserver-Litho.

The problem with using a Kodak Approval is the transfer from the carrier to the shrink sleeve material via a laminator. The heat shrinks the material. Does anyone know of a inkjet printer that uses a white ink to print on a clear material?

Re: CM Policies: Preserve Embedded Profile or Convert to Workspace? Anyone know of some websites that breaks down color management in photoshop? I'd like to learn more about how profiles and working spaces interact with photoshop. When to tag an image and when to discard all profiles. Thanks Steve

Re: ICC software Why doesn't an MX5 profile allow you to export CMYK as an ICC profile? Can I just import my target data from my existing MX5 file into a new MX4 file and use that to export a CMYK ICC profile? Does this ICC profile generated from the GMG rip contain enough info to use for...

Re: ICC software Does ProfileMaker and Monaco Profiler both do essentially the same thing? Do you get a bigger bang for your buck with one vs. the other? If I'm exporting my target data as a text file from a GMG rip do either of these color management tools allow me to import that text data to...

Can anyone recommend software that will allow me to take the target data from a GMG rip and create an ICC profile from it?
