Agreed 100%, even more so on averaging out readings from say beginning/middle/end of run. If curiosity can provide a copy of the CGATs measurement data, then other interested parties could see what happens with their profiling software. Stephen Marsh

Exiton, firstly thank you for freely offering your product. I need to do further testing, however I like what I see so far and I have only played for 30 minutes or so with a simple 4C vector business card PDF! I think that there is a small core niche market that would find this very useful and...

I didn’t wish to muddy the water with the whole UCR vs. GCR thing in my previous reply, however Gordo is of course correct in bringing this up… It is not very often that we hear people wishing to use UCR in this day and age! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grey_component_replacement...

If you really wish to successfully go down this path you will likely need to consider using a Devicelink ICC Profile based workflow, not just a standard Device ICC profile (if reseparating text, vectors and raster images). If you are only reseparating raster images, then you could probably just...

Thank you for the offering, where would the Mac installer be located? Stephen Marsh

Thanks Tim, I would like to use a “lowest common denominator” for disparate Windows desktop and sever OS versions, keeping this as simple as possible. I was hoping for a single self contained .bat or .cmd file, however if the script has to reference another bit of code saved somewhere then so be...

Thank you for the reply Tim! I can’t get that command to work, however that could be user error. As is always the case, the expectation is that it should be easy to simply swap out the run date of the batch file to use the file modified date, however it does not appear to be that easy! I would...

I’m not sure if what I wish to do is possible, I have spent a lot of time searching without much luck. I’m looking for a Windows native command line to use in a simple .bat or .cmd file that is available to many different Windows OS. I don’t want any third party software dependencies that...

Tim, I believe that with print/PDF export that there is no direct control over the crop and other page marks, they are generated on the fly and use rego/all colour. Then one is forced to deal with them after the file is printed/exported. There is a trick where one can create their own custom...

Yes, there have been documented issues with this feature in various versions of Acrobat Pro over the years. For greater productivity one could of course use a hot folder based workflow such as Enfocus PitStop Sever, which will watch an input folder and move the automatically corrected files to...

Yes, your images are already raster. A WF RIP is doing a lot more than just rasterizing non raster content. Yes, some sort of nesting and colour management would indeed be helpful. As for your ICC question, you could try creating a v2 ICC from the same data and compare to the v4 using the same...

The solution has two general options: 1) Use an ecosolvent coated media specifically designed for the solution to directly print 2) Use an ecosolvent coated transfer media film specifically designed for the solution to indirectly print and laminate to the final substrate Beauty is in the eye...

You could look into Mirage for a “lite” solution: http://mirage.dinax.de/New_Features.html For Mac users, there is FitPlot: http://www.fitplot.it While at the higher end there is Griffin from Tilia Labs: http://tilialabs.com/griffin.html And I hate to mention it, however a WUNDES...

Thank you Bill W, great stuff I really appreciate it… I have read this many times and feel that I now have 100 more questions! Stephen Marsh

The Flex is for “flexible” and not “flexo”, however this of course is aimed at packaging mockups and proofs for flexo and litho print methods (whether flexible, folding carton, pre/post print etc). CGS ORIS have specifically formulated their own extended gamut CMYKOG eco-solvent inks and also...

Thank you Tim, this is all hypothetical at the moment. I am trying to better understand how one decides to create a tool. The cylinder gearing is known, the cylinder width is also known, as is the number of colours and the final label size and whether it is narrow or wide edge leading. So...

Yes, the budgeted hours are a critical factor in this type of calculation, more productive hours = less cost, greater margin and more (potential) revenue. Your total fixed costs are your costs, you can lie to yourself about them, however that is only “helpful” in the short term! You could look...

I am interested in how folk that live and breath narrow web flexo labels work out their new tooling, any constructive feedback would be great… I am of course open to specific links to further info. Trying to keep it simple for now, lets just say that we have a 6 colour narrow web press with the...

I tried a few things to remove the stubborn smaller element, so some steps may now be redundant and could possibly be removed… Start with only the two bold ones! _____ Select all Flatten form fields _____ Select forms remove selections _____ Select objects that use neither a stroke or fill...
