    Prinect Alternative

    The company i work for was in a similar dilema a few years back. We went from Prinect to Fujifilm's XMF. It's not perfect, but overall we like it better than Prinect. At the time it was cheaper to buy a full version of XMF than the upgrade for Prinect. We impose Litho and Digital in it. Before...

    PDF's made on Mac different then PC?

    Not sure if it's the case, but there's a bug in the latest release of Indesign that generates a bug on the PDFs. It happens both in Windows and Mac. We already had a few PDFs failing from that error. Usually it showns if you open in Acrobat and browse through the pages. We are getting that error...

    Konica Minolta KM-1, KM-1e, KM-1e HD

    We are in the process of buying a similar machine for our company. One of our paper suppliers warned us that the KM-1 only prints in 4 default paper sizes. Is this true? If the machine maximum size is 585x750mm i cannot print in a 510x720mm size, for example?

    TRY TO PREFLIGHT THIS !!

    Sorry, but it's not Acrobat Preflight that gives the error. It's Fujifilm's XMF which has Pitstop integrated and outputs the error on a PDF. If you take a look at this screenshot, the error is reported by XMF and then it generates a PDF with the error report. If Acrobar can do it, i don't know how.

    XMF preflight gives out an error that roughly translates to "White Vectors are not in knock out".

    Legality of Logo...

    Well... I don't know the laws in your countrys, but in mine (europe based), as a printshop, we print what our customers bring us to print. So, if they bring a mickey mouse with a nike shirt and a taco bell logo on the side, we print it, no question asked. Its up to the customer to negotiate the...

    ColorPath Won't Launch

    Yes, the lastest version uses HTML 5. In any case, just to help anyone that arrives here, for the old version (up to 6.6) you need firefox esr 52.9, available here: https://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/firefox/releases/52.9.0esr/

    Suprasetter A106 - Diode Failure

    Well, we have an 10 year old suprasetter, and when the machine was only a few weeks old, we had also a laser diode malfunction (Luckly the machine was still under warranty, and never failed again since then). We also had the speed drastically slowed down. The explanation we got at the time was...

    Old KBA 104 4 colors, printing with 2 colors

    My company as received a price request to print a 2 color book. Due to the timing of the said book, it should be printed on a 4 color KBA 104, but this machine doesent have duplex, so it would only print with 2 units, only 1 side at a time. The press operator disconnects 2 of the units to print...

    Agfa Amigo and 20 micron FM screening

    Thank you both for your answers. @gordo: I think you gave a very good explanation on what may have caused both the color shifts and the lack of contrast. Just for the record, i knew we could't match an FM screen with an AM/XM screen, thats why we did our tests against a certified proof...

    Agfa Amigo and 20 micron FM screening

    We did some FM tests on our current setup. Our workflow currently only has 20 micron FM available. Our Amigo plates technical info says it only goes down to 25 micron. We did a TVI profile for FM, and used the NPscreen profiles from ECI. The results weren't good. We couldn't match our certified...
