Indesign -> PDF then I'm using the "Convert Colors" option under "Print Production" in Acrobat.

Correct... this is exactly what we are experiencing.

So you're saying the color profile I'm using BEFORE conversion to dot gain??

For offset we convert using the built in Dot Gain 30 setting in Acrobat. Problem is that on some files it changes 100K black to 84Kish. Any guesses why? Our preferred behavior would be for 100K to stay 100K and only the other values to change based on a curve.

Our issue is that (like today) we sometimes do not have a human in the press room to monitor/unload. The same guy that works on the files is the guy that hits print and the guy that organizes the disaster of a pile after. I've actually found that a box top with the sides cut and folded down with...

I get the impression that most shops have a makeshift way of catching booklets as they come out of their digital printer's finisher. We've always just used a box which is probably the most common answer but it's certainly not ideal because of they way they pile on especially when we are just...

Definitely interested. I'll PM you...

Looking to buy an electric coil punch and inserter.

I'm going to be doing a job that will include VDP of addresses. The addresses must be kept in zip order. I will be run 3UP. Normally we do this and I just tell the guy cutting to keep them in order. I'm always a little nervous but he's always gotten it right. This time I need to send the job...

PricelineNegotiator want to hear a slightly relevant story? Once I got my license plate tabs in the mail and went outside to stick them to the cars. Well, I realized that I put the first one on the wrong car so I tried to peel it off. Those things do not peel off. I already had some rubbing...

Hey Rik -- Just called Xpedx. He wants to sell me the Veritiv version of it. It's almost $1 per sheet but I'm convinced... only problem is I only need about 25 sheets and it's 250 sheets is the minimum order :(

Thank you... FYI no fold, just 4"x8.5 4/4

Thank you. So do I do a coated stock with matte lam? Do you think like a 1.3 mil on 10pt stock?

I am printing a beverage card for a restaurant. The card is 4" wide x 8.5" tall (tall and skinny). Full bleed and some kind of protective coating (probably Laminated?). I don't have much experience with lamination so the thing I'm stumped on is whether to do a thin lamination on heavy stock or a...

Thank you. Seems like every time I post on any subject that I'm struggling with you pop up and have had direct experience and knowledge about it. Appreciate it. Pretty sure that answers my question. A roll laminator with pressure and temperature controls is what I should be looking for.

Question: Kind of a difficult question but what determines whether a laminator will produce professional looking results? Background: We have a small pouch laminator by Jackson Hirsch. We never use it for anything we're actually selling and have never tried anything with it except the standard...

Can anyone recommend a low volume electric coiler and punch? I’m thinking the foot pedal kind and budget is up to 2k. Thanks.

What type of stock are you using? Have you checked drums and swapped fuser?

Okay so obviously you were right. Now that I'm back in the shop I see that it is there in plain site. I'm going to spend some time trying to get this running. After setting regi-loop to .9 I'm still seeing that the front-to-back registration is off. What exactly does regi-loop do?
