Hi all, We are running into a lot of problems trying to print stickers on KM1. Matte paper is ok most of the times, one problem might occur if the back is ''cracked'' parallel to the the printing heads. Glossy paper depends, no matter if the liner is cracked or not, it might print well, and...

ok, thank you!

Happy new year to all members! I have a question on laminated business cards cutting. The job was printed on munken polar 400gr stock - both sides - It was laminated, and now we try to cut it, the cards on one or two sides, are cut like they were cut with an old knife - the other two or three...

wow, thanks for your extended answers! - short ones too :) - The company i work for is a merge of three different companies ( two basically ) a big offset printer and a smaller but more ''effective'' digital one. The differences in culture and job ethics are vast, and for most people it's...

Hi all, It's been a while since i last posted, or even visited the forum. I 've got a couple of questions and i really hope to have your insight here. We are trying to reconfigure the production workflow, in a midsize plant. We do offset, digital, some wide format, bindery ( except sewn...

- a little bit late i suppose - konica file specs for KM1 were, and might still be x1a, so vistasecured should flat files before rip. If not, he may run into problems.

Hi folks! I'd like to hear your experience on color consistency of KM1. I'd like to hear about color variations in high volume jobs ( if there are any color variations or high volume jobs ). I'd also like to hear about reprints, if you can safe and easily reprint a previous job, or you must...

It will be done without meta. I'm helping a printer who bought a suprasetter/meta/signa/shooter set his new workflow. Till now a service bureau made films for them, and before filming they gave him a ''normalized'' pdf to get his customer approval. Since there's no normalizer option without...

good morning, meta -> metadimension, heidelberg's rip

Could there be a way to export a pdf from meta, keeping text live - even outlined could do -. I've checked the pdf export output plan with no success. Checked meta's manual, nothing there too. The only options i am given is the resolution to which the file will be rasterizerd, and a ''no...

I had a brief view on 2016 documentation, much better than 2011 - as far as i remember it-, lets hope the builtin help has improved too...

To be honest, i'd be very surprised if the built in help and heidi's pdf files provides proper guidance for an operator on how to set up the hot folders. The guys that installed and configured 2011 prinect in the shop i worked back then, arrived with a 20pages ''manual'' which they followed step...

Hi all, In the printshop i worked a couple of years ago, i used to send the imposed pdf to metadimention from cockpit, then send meta send it to shooter, gave it a last check and send it to our ctp. Now, there's a small shop who bought a ctp, signa/meta and shooter as ''standalone'' apps, and...

It wasn't excel export but the character set option in vdp editor, thanks for your help!
