Ink / coating manufacturer has the answer to what UV spectrum and qty of light is needed. You can compare those specs. with your machine output using a UV radiometer. One brand is "Power Puck" which you can google. You're asking very good questions as there is such a thing is too much cure as...

Not everyone wants to be helped, they just want to complain.

Coated stock assumed, dry toner doesn't look like the Indigo. Agree with others on the Canon being much better than other (and older) dry toner machines. Indigo printing on our new 5650 in Cincinnati is really looking good compared to our older Indigo and the Canon and Xerox machines we looked at.

UV ink (zeller and gmelin) run in our Heidelberg 1 color does not have special lighting but we keep the fountain covered and wash up nightly (spot color printing). A covered fountain and maybe some care with lamp placement, intensity, and shading, if necessary would seem to eliminate this...

Try option "Object Expand" or Object Expand Appearance with "select all" chosen. Results of auto trace in the old software versions were rarely good however with CS2 (i think), renamed option "Live Trace" started giving results about 5 times better. Good Luck! Dan

Lot's of variables you can try changing to eliminate problem but might be easier to address symptom by: 1)Slipsheet. 2)If warm from UV curing, let sheets cool in small lifts before stacking. 3)Build crate allowing sheets to be stacked on edge instead fo flat. 4)Add tiny amount of fine spray...

Re: Foil Stamp for Scratch-Off Applications Scratch-Off can be applied with screen printing also. Might be less expensive since the ink is generally cheaper than scratch-off foil is. We can do it if you're interested, just send a message. Dan

Film sticks to paper on ours Film sticks to paper on ours Our Ledco 2 sided laminator has hot shoes and does stick to uncoated paper and plastic materials, though with varying degrees on the plastics. We also use D&K film.

See your point and we have gone that way on some jobs. As screen graphic printers (plastic, decals) printing mostly spot color, it is nice to be able to step&repeat right in Illy. Especially true when there is no trapping or you can manually trap simple objects on 2 to 10up impositions...

Examine the question relative to the problem Examine the question relative to the problem If you stop and think a minute you'll realize this problem is impossible for you to "fix". Stop trying! Instead, look for a way to communicate with the factory. Involve your boss in this aspect of the...

Printing from CS4 Illustrator, there is a problem with some stroke colors with the overprint attribute checked, knocking out within a process color file. Illustrators overprint preview on the monitor looks correct but separations printed from Illustrator show some objects strokes are...

Screen print option Screen print option Digital, Offset, but also a Silk Screen graphics printer (T-shirts aren't the only things we screen printers can do) can spot UV coat cost effectively do to lower prep and set-up costs.

Dmax of 2 - 2.5 from a Epson 7800 on Chromaline inkjet "film" which worked for us. Tried other cheaper films with worse results. Using a EFI rip in single pass 1440 mode and dumping a lot of ink on it. Was expensive (ink and media) so we stayed with our imagesetter.

Conductivity and Surface Tension Conductivity and Surface Tension Surface tension is measured as the dyne level of the print material (usually plastic). Conductivity usually refers to fountain solution and is a measure of PH (I think). Assuming the above is what you mean by your question, I...

Re: Colour Change After Lamination Our experience (cold adhesive lam) is gloss darkens colors appearance and matte lightens. We don't notice a particular color cast though I'm sure it's possible. Have you considered a different or thinner lamination film? If all else fails, it is probably...
