    Who is still using Acrobat Distiller?

    To me It's obvious - there are a lot of printing houses with old workflows or even without one. They still demand distiller-created files.

    Excessive dot gain (or other) - please give me the advice!

    if delta experience smth we do, then increase in dampening levels won't help neither cheking and recheking plates desensitization. As for fs chemistry - I would suggest checking doser system. Technotranse for example can be weird sometimes

    Excessive dot gain (or other) - please give me the advice!

    Gordo, it's not one instrument. We have 5 scanning densitometers, 2 scanning spectrodensitometers, one i1pro2, one exact advanced, one densitometer from techkon and all shows same density. most of them show polarized density but do you honestly believe that polarization can affect reading by .30 D?

    Excessive dot gain (or other) - please give me the advice!

    Funny, but we have same SID target for black (Status E, but it doesn't matter for black). gordo mentioned that it is too high, but for our ink we can't go that low, 'cause at 1.8 we'll see Lab 21 0 0. This lead me to another thought — was ink takeoff the same over printsheet in both runs? With...

    Excessive dot gain (or other) - please give me the advice!

    Alois, from my experience "scum line" has nothing to do with the dot distortion due to lithography troubles. We've always seen this scum line on plates. Our printmen cannot add that much water to prevent it appearing (:

    Excessive dot gain (or other) - please give me the advice!

    Did you use same paper thikness for both printouts? what about impression settings - were they same? are you sure that you use same ink? We've found out that our ink vendor sometimes change formulation without bothering to tell us about it. to me it looks like your black and magenta inks are...

    Prinergy upgrade

    Seems like there is only 8.1.2. Left. Don't see 8.1.1 as for Oracle dB - backup + job export I think

    Prinergy upgrade

    If I were you I wouldn't revert to 7.0 too many errors, too slow, just show to your bosses list of known bugs from workflow help online you'd better upgrade to 8.1.1 - there are a lot of things fixed in that version. as for your question - our kodak reps recommend us to ignore these errors on output

    When to use ∆E2000 vs ∆Eab

    We're pure offset printer. We use dE76 for solids and overprint to confirm we're in standard. Also we use dE76 for proofs because we use same for print. However we use dE00 with pms colors because our supplier use his own set of pigments with Inkformulation and formulate ink to comply it with...

    Sonora XP — what about FM capabilities?

    Sonora XP — what about FM capabilities?

    I'd like to ask Kodak Sonora XP users — do you print Staccato? If yes — what size? 20µ, 25µ, 30µ? Do you have any difficulties with consistensy of exposure with 20µ? And what about your uncalibrated dot gain? How high is it? Recently i've heard an opininon from experienced person that Sonora...

    PLATES: chemicals OR processless ?

    Well I can say the same on Electra xd from kodak - brilliant plate with topmost characteristics. Unfortunately most of them are for long runs and 10m staccato which is rarely needed nowadays. With shorter runs, 20m staccato capable sonora is cheaper in total, faster in output and easier to...
