It has become trendy among designers to print 4 colour on uncoated paper, we're seeing more of it in catalogue and brochure jobs all the time.

In that case, Kodak Magnus 800 with SCU should suit you perfectly.

We are moving ours soon, the technician told me: First measure the height from the ground of the machine and make a note of it, split the MCU from the main unit, crank up the legs so the wheels are on the ground, then just wheel it onto the truck. No transport brackets required for a short trip...

If you're using Pitstop to correct the files anyway, why not use the preflight profile that comes with Pitstop "Just make my Office PDF work" I use this preflight on every MS Office PDF that comes through the door and it fixes 99% of issues.

When you open the image in Photoshop and select image size, what are the dimensions in pixels? There are a lot of jpeg artifacts in the image you posted, but some of those will be from the photo you took of the print. Can you share the original image?

A file tagged with the ICC profile for the final output conditions is not telling the printer how you expect it to be printed, it is defining how the file should look on the final output device when viewed on a properly calibrated and profiled monitor or printed/proofed on a properly calibrated...

Was the photo 208ppi at the scale used on the cover? When you say it was 1296 px sq, do you mean it was 1296x1296 pixels in size? If so, if not cropped, the photo should reproduce OK at 5.5x5.5" rule of thumb for offset is 300ppi at output size, but digital presses are a little more forgiving...

No there are not 2 default black options, there is black and there is registration, which is clearly labelled as registration. If users select this swatch for printed elements, it's not Adobe's fault, it's users creating content for print who don't understand the print process.

Pitstop action list "Remove Printers Marks" is great for getting rid of those pesky colour bars & whatnot :)

No, please don't ever select the Registration Black for printed elements, and especially not for offset printing. If you want a rich black, make it 40C 100K or if you must use all 4 colours 40C 20M 20Y 100K Anything over 300% is going to cause problems, and if you do this for a job printed on...

There is no black in RGB, if you are supplying files in an RGB colourspace with blacks defined as 0R:0G:0B, you will end up with a rich black depending on GCR/UCR in the profiles used to convert to CMYK. It OK to supply images in RGB, however, you are leaving it up to the printer to separate to...

If it's anything like Prinergy, your user name and password for the XMF server will be the same as the client login This could be the result of either the server or your Mac being updated and the version of SMB you are connecting with has been deprecated.

You can still purchase a permanent licence, it's your choice, but it still needs to connect to the licencing server to verify validity from time to time We have Prinergy and Expo as permanent licences, and Insite & KPS as monthly.

As far as I know, Kodak no longer provide USB licence dongles, all licences are now managed through their servers.

PrintIQ will cover most of these with various add on modules https://printiq.com/

We use them all the time in Preps, they were much easier in Preps 5.x and earlier, so I often go back to Preps 5.3 if I need to make a new Cut & Stack template

For some reason, I had thought that Corel acquired Framemaker around the same time at WordPerfect & Ventura, but it is indeed Adobe.

That's how offset presses work, you don't see the result of your adjustments on a screen, the operator will start off by getting the sheet to the correct densities for the standard they are following, this is generally done using a densitometer on the console, hand held on older presses, but...
