Sorry Claude72, Seems you missed my "Tongue-in-cheek"... This was not meant to be taken literally, but rather as humor - not seriously.

Iris couldn't offer the required resolution, even in its' glorious days. It used only 300 ppi CT files. Nowadays, a standard modern inkjet printer would do MUCH better, but still wouldn't be enough for the required use.

"...and feel free to suggest more ways to help improve my reputation..."

Although I occasionally rescue customers' backed up files from obsolete media including 3.5" diskettes, Zip, MO and Syquest, as well as various tapes - a 5.25" floppy didn't appear in years. I keep a lot of my old hardware "just in case" however, in many cases these disks refuse to load...

"...hey, I just heard two of my fiercest competitors are dumping their offset presses ... if that's true, I should re-evaluate, the odds may be much better now...!?"

Whenever an offset shop dumps its' presses, the positions of the remaining offset shops strengthen.

Using Digital Thermal Film to produce the image is OK, but will leave you with the necessity to make contact prints photographically and DITR film users rarely have photographic processing. BTW, thermal ablative films need to be handled very delicately because their emulsion tend to get...

Perhaps High-res Digital printing such as HP Indigo will do. A little less contrast and sharpness but may work for you.

You may produce your charts on photographic paper, much like producing a Cromaline proof. Resolution and contrast would be comparable. Film and imagesetters are still around, mainly used for Silk Screen and small scale PCB production, high-contrast photographic (contact) paper should still be...

OK, if the PDFs were only "Normalized", I come out a believer now...

The slight diffusion of the light rays may have adverse effect on halftone screen dots. It shouldn't have a noticeable effect on solid objects.

I believe that the RIP separates and rasterizes the files so they are already flattened, consequently transparencies are not likely to be a problem. EDIT: Sorry, re-reading the post makes me want to erase my comment. The PDFs discussed are merely "Normalized", so they weren't actually RIPed.

" "We'll be happy to give you the presidents' discount if you'll pay with his personal cheque".

I am using distiller occasionally to produce pdfs from ps/eps files, in order to visually check the content of the graphic files. Since the 1980's we used "hand written" Postscript commands to create the basic graphics for calendars, barcodes, rulers, special grids, tints etc., coupled with a...

Good day Lotem experts. My situation requires that I replace the E-Box of my old Lotem 800V2 (48 diodes) with the E-Box of from a similar Lotem that has a higher s/w version (3.2). Since the replacement is a little different (New E-Box), I need an advice if this is going to be a straightforward...

...this is our Color Samples Catalog so we need it to EXACTLY match our physical products, OK?...

THANK YOU, The link made my day!!!

"Give me a hand, this podium too heavy for an old man to carry alone..."

A flat-bed scanner with a transparency attachment, preferably A3 size, with an optical resolution of at least 1200 dpi should do. If you'll need to scan 4 color separations you'll probably need to outsource it.
