I have EFI's XF software and am trying to getting it up and running. My Xrite iOne seems to have problems. I print my ink limit color chart, then when I read it it states that it is calibrating... then fails. I have an old DTP41 and thought I would try it but the connectors are limited to the...

Thanks so much for your comments. Actually, when I said RGB values, I was thinking I would convert the jpeg images to Lab color space and then use the a, b values for determining our "color difference. I talked to the biologist today and he is really trying to determine how quickly the changes...

Not sure where to post this but Color Management seemed the most logical. I have a biologist friend that is doing research on the change of color of crab spiders measured from digital color images opened within Photoshop. I had suggested to use the RAW file format to eliminate the color...

The version is Adobe CS 5.0

When using the package function within InDesign I had something happen that I couldn't explain. I had a student that used the drag and drop technique, clicking on an ai. file from Illustrator and dragging it into InDesign. When the InDesign file was packaged, the vector file wasn't saved but...

Boy do i feel foolish. The fill on the bearers (the element that I wanted on all separations) was Black Registration but the stroke was Black. Guess it is a good example of not trusting the original file that is received for testing. It still didn't work when I created it from Illustrator but...

Michael Jahn- Don't have Enfocus available. Stephen Marsh- I tried the registration marks. They printed on all plates but the items Registration did not. Tried but wan unable to locate the Distiller PPD on system or on Adobe website.

I am part of an educational graphic communication program that teaches the lithographic, screen and flexo printing processes. For screen printing we use a Ink Jet printer with all 8 heads printing black onto film for digital positives. The software Accurip is specific to screen printing so it...

Thanks for your comments. On a positive note, i do stress the importance using our own "file management" system. Students package their files in InDesign, create a PDF via Adobe PDF Presets, then they take ALL intermediate files (which should included the .psd file with layers) and place them...

As a faculty member at a university, we have students taking our graphic communications courses from all over campus, many with backgrounds in web. Since we stress the area of print, I have pushed the following philosophy on file formats. For raster images: .jpg is acceptable, .tiff is better...

Greetings: As the president elect of the International Graphic Art Education Association, I would like to take a moment and introduce folks to our organization. IGAEA was started in the early 1920s, when teachers of the United Typothetae School of Print in Indianapolis got together to share...

Thanks for the response. We are an educational institution and are always struggling to allow students access while maintaining control. I took what you had said, went back and ran the pdf back through several different workflows. Thats when I noticed the "traditional" CMYK workflow used a...

We are running Xitron's RIP Navigator, saving the ripped files to a shared folder to be picked-up by our Prestek Dimension 425 CTP. The particular file in question measures 12 x 17.75". When we rip the pdf, it displays correctly on the RIP station, but when I pull it up the same image from the...

I am reposting this from the Xitron threads as it may not relate directly to our RIP Navigator. We are running Xitron's RIP Navigator, saving the ripped files to a shared folder to be picked-up by our Prestek Dimension 425 CTP. The particular file in question measures 12 x 17.75". When we rip...

We were working with duotones and stressing the importance of the EPS file format. An unrelated question came up about the ability to save a file down to the Photoshop 2.0 file format. I believe that this would provide for color adjustments what were eliminated after 2.0, i.e. the ability to...

I am using a X-Rite i1iO for color management and noticed that when I connect the scan table, I the Eye one match software doesn’t recognize the device as connected. I check the power source and the external USB cables and they were fine. The small green light is on where the power cable...

Does anyone know how to eliminate the embedded requirement for the Darwin plug-in within InDesign. We have files that students have created on machines that use Darwin. When those same files are opened on other machines, we get a message that states that "the Darwin plug-in is missing, do you...

Immediately after I told students that the three main file formats for print production are .EPS, .TIF, and .JPG, (and .jpg is the least desirable) I had a student as why PNG wasn't an acceptable file format. I know it isn't and I answered that the RIP process doesn't support .PNG; that it is...
