It seems there are two holes in the rear panel (upper left and upper right of the panel) that allow the insertion of an allen wrench or comparable shaft to force open the latches on either side of the rear door.

We have a Kodak Magnus 400 and it appears that the power supply is no longer providing power to the internal computer. While we wait for a service man to call back/show up...we could do more troubleshooting if we could get the rear door open and remove the rear cover to test output of the power...

Can you estimate the LPI of the "very small and excellent dot pattern"? That will determine whether the opaque white could have been done with screen printing or not. It was not clear to me whether the opaque white was just put down as a solid or if it was screened along with the 4cp. The job...

Have you ruled out using an alcohol substitute? Our press department switched to using substitutes several years ago and they wouldn't go back. I would suggest you contact your press/printing supplies vendor for a recommendation on which substitutes would work best for your application and test...

The Agent may have some experience in this area, but if they don't, and they want to keep selling to you, then they should be willing to help you find out the solution.

Your lens supplier should be able to identify the problem from your symptoms. Are you in contact with them?

Can you verify the quality/stability of the lens material?

I think that probably the difference of opinion between you and your partner can be solved with better communication with the client, because the difference is likely based on your feelings of how the client will react to an unexpected charge. Let the client know that the quality of the data...

Interesting... Do you really experience inconsistent bars/image and human readable characters, and do you know what applications introduce these errors? We've been generating and printing barcodes for many years and I've never heard of that before now. If the print vendor is generating the...

mojoprime, Thanks for weighing in from a designer/manager point of view. I hope the designers you mentor will take your advice seriously, it could easily be adapted to any career, whether they are "cut out" for graphic design or not.

When I say dot structure, I am talking about the dots that make up the screens on the printing plates, so that could be AM (traditional half-tone 150, 200lpi) or FM (stochastic) screens. The inkjet proofs are for in-house press operator use, but the important thing for being able to check...

Joe, I was referring to the keepaway in the lower left hand corner. What is the difference between a "keepaway" which I am used to hearing and a "cutback" which I am not?

I want to look at the same dot structure as what is going to press when proofing traps, so in our shop "soft proofs" are closer than our inkjet proofs, and there are more options for viewing separations and zooming in.

Very tedious indeed! We have a different version of Prinergy (Prinergy Evo actually), but in the Process Template Editor in the Trapping section is a checkbox for trapping keepaways. See attachment.

I really liked the Architect analogy by DCurry - Thanks for sharing it. If I can step back from the technical details of Illustrator files, PDF's, embedded fonts, rich black knockouts, etc. for a moment: Work Ethic - I have been instructed and heard/read many times that when a product or...

I don't disagree with the advice you are currently getting, but could you post example images of "correct" and "incorrect" output? That might help others to quickly identify the same problem and apply the solution(s) given here.

Vlad, So the film feed direction must be in the top to bottom or at least vertical direction of the second film image? So if the operator repeated the test, then the artifacts wouldn't appear in exactly the same position if it is unstable film movement, correct?

It would be helpful if you identified which direction is the roll feed direction of the films you posted (a picture is worth a thousand words, but imaging film is only worth 500 if we don't know for sure the roll feed direction). If the offsetting is 90 degrees to the feed direction then I would...

Leslie, Not everyone has the same shared experience. For myself, it is not unusual to run into words or phrases related to the printing industry that I'm not familiar with due to the printing niche I'm involved in. My father studied horticulture and animal husbandry on the "GI Bill" after he...

Thank you all for your responses to my request! I sense a definite consensus on how to proceed ;-), however, the request for the imposable pdf files was so they could be sent to Europe for production there. The request for the die-lines was - colourname of the cutting shape is always: “PANTONE...
