    Convert image to print USO Uncoated Yellowish simulation on coated stock

    Thanks for confirming, I would convert the RGB original to the Uncoated Yellowish ICC and then convert to ISO Coated ICC using absolute colorimetric rendering intent. Stephen Marsh

    Convert image to print USO Uncoated Yellowish simulation on coated stock

    If I understand correctly, you will need to convert the CMYK image tagged with the Uncoated Yellowish ICC to ISO Coated ICC using absolute colorimetric rendering intent (if this is “too strongly yellow”, then you should knock together an action to combine the steps used to create the less yellow...

    Selection Resizing

    What version are you on? Can you share the action list or a screenshot of the list or write out the exact steps? There should be a few ways to do this… Easy enough to do in PitStop Pro 17 with the scale selection action list option. Stephen Marsh

    Tricks to remember LAB color space

    L = Lightness, lower values are darker, higher values are lighter (just like in RGB) a = opposing hue system: red in the positive values (warm), green in the negative values (cool), zero is neutral – neither red or green (a hue can’t be both red and green at the same time). The higher the...

    Anyone knows what does meaning "ml"

    Also keep in mind that thickness is not weight, two different materials of the same thickness may not have the same weight per square area. Stephen

    7-Color ICC Profile Creation

    i1Profiler can make profiles for up to 8 separations You will likely find that this breaks the End User License Agreement in 99.9% of commercial profiling packages without getting written clearance and or paying extra for a special use case license. Stephen Marsh

    Kodak ProoferClient not resolving 'hot folders'

    The hot folders should have a path using the \\controller name + \directory name, such as: \\KPS-Controller-Name\Hot Folder Name or in your case: \\CX10010\Hot Folder Name You could try to copy (not move original files which will be deleted) files to the hot folder using Windows Explorer or...

    Kodak ProoferClient not resolving 'hot folders'

    Forgetting the KPS Client software interface, can you submit copies of files to the hot folders using a standard UNC file path directly to the hot folder (i.e. submit the files through the O.S.)? Do you use a direct connection from Prinergy to KPS? Are you licensed for OpenConnectivity and if...

    Is there something I'm missing???

    Agreed, Layer Comps are a no brainer (perhaps the client saved them into the PSD and you will get a nice surprise, yeah right) and Photoshop ships with an Export option to save out Layer Comps to PDF or other file types. Another option would be to take a History snapshot of each layer setup as...

    Upgrading from PitStop 7.1 Problems!!!

    I’m pretty sure that you have to update to the latest license (a good thing), however you can then download an older version installer for your OS and Acrobat if you really need to. https://www.enfocus.com/en/support/system-requirements/pitstop-pro-system-requirements (also look at previous...

    MIS Printing Estimating Software

    Kamoula, in my opinion, your production experience and knowledge and what you can bring to the table about estimating is far more critical than having experience and knowledge in one or more software packages – without having any practical production experience. Not having estimating experience...

    Most affordable way to have certified proofs

    Is there a contract or guarantee for a set period for the proofing/work? If not and if this suddenly went sour, would you have other uses for the proofing setup? You have a rough budget for the hardware and possibly for software… (depending on the solution, you may also need to factor in the...

    Change Spot Color's Alternate Color Space

    I’m on 2017, however this was available in earlier versions, you just had to import a Lab based spot colour library. Now later versions of PitStop ship with Lab based library files. You can see in my screenshot that the destination library’s alternate values are Lab based. I’ll try to dig up an...

    Profiles generated with minimal number of patches

    Which is of course not true. GMG’s main competitor, CGS also have a spectral data based system for measuring and predicting spot colour overprinting behaviour. This is available as a stand alone toolset and is also leveraged in products such as CGS ORIS Color Tuner and ORIS Flex Pack for inkjet...

    Imposition output

    Through the server side Prinergy administration software (not Workshop), sorry I can’t remember all the names etc. I don’t use Prinergy very often. There are 4 levels of reset, level 1 is the safest as it only applies to processing queues (but double check what the wording says next to the reset...

    N-Color Soft Proofing and Profiling

    If it is just about softproofing, do you really need an N-Colour profile? Is the source artwork previously separated into N-channels, or is it just RGB? When one profiles an inkjet, it may contain various inks, beyond just CMYK. However an RGB or CMYK profile is generated, which describes all...
