lostmind, yes, you have to create a CIP3 / PPF file out of your CtP RIP, your workflow or imposition app (Preps). My Komori customers either have a network connection of the console PC system (Win), or the PQ4 data is transferred quite "nostalgically" using 3.5 inch floppy disks. ;-)

Hi lostmind, for the CIP3/PPF import and conversion to the Komori PQ4 file format, you can use the Komori PCC Windows application.

Looking forward to climb up K2 at DRUPA 2024 next week. 🤗

I am almost sure that PressPerCent can not generate WIF file format, but perhaps PressProfiler can.

Hi pd, Sorry I dont know. The best is to ask Andrew Aldridge from Prepress UK PressProfiler CIP3 – Offset Printing Press CIP3 Ink Key Presetting and Statistics Solution Martin

Hi pd, #2 and #3 are basically using the same engine from Excourse, but #3 has the more comfortable and flexible UI. There are many software RIPs for CtP in the market, which generate CIP3 and/or proprietary file formats too (Harlequin, StudioRIP etc.) Best regards Martin

Better use a RIP for CtP.

Hi graphicsource, since macOS 13 (Ventura), Apple no longer supports PostScript (PPD) completely and in Sonoma, PS is vanished. I suspect that is where your problem lies.

Hi TYson L, If a solution beyond Heidelberg subscriptions is required, I can only recommend the MAC-only application PressPerCent. Regards Martin

Hi Foliart, I just sent you an email. Best regards Martin

Hello BJeff, if you are open for alternative RIP solutions, try out StudioRIP which contains already the needed "Creo2Scitex" TIFF tag for connecting to Kodak Xpo TIFF-Shooter.

Hello BJeff, there might be a solution for your issue offered by forum member Andrew Aldridge here: Post in thread 'Outputting harlequin 1 bit tiff thro xpo / prinergy' https://printplanet.com/threads/outputting-harlequin-1-bit-tiff-thro-xpo-prinergy.17814/post-307965

@tommylos Be carefull with buying a second hand Prinect / MetaDimension Shooter. The shooter must exactly fit to your Suprasetter. Heidelberg changed the Suprasetter technical specifications several times since the release of the machine over ten years ago.

ProofMaster does not produce screened proofs.

The HD Suprasetter works very well with all thermal printing plates (830 nm) in the market.

@Bobk You won't believe it, there are new SDP-Eco 1630 IIIRz devices existing in Japan equipped with a current SDP-RIP v13 on sale by Mitsubishi Distributor Diamic. Ask Mitsubishi Imaging near NYC, if they sell these devices in the U.S. Here in Europe Distributor Atécé is even selling the...

@masterpc mention that Presspercent is a MAC-only application, but it is easy to integrate in your workflow and offers hotfolders for each setup. It can be installed via Teamviewer and comes with a softkey. Contact me directly for further details and pricing. Best regards Martin

Hi Jacek, in PressPerCent there are several setup parameters to adjust the ink zone information to your specific press. The basic settings of PPC are often "too weak" and only open the ink keys very insufficiently. In the attached screenshots you can see the menu windows for "Zones Curves", "Ink...

PPC and PressProfiler are both based on the Excourse PressPerCent. PressProfiler offers just a little more ease of use and runs on a Windows PC. In the meantime, both also get along well with PDF jobs with spot colors. The current PPC v3.64 has the option of Ghostscript integration for PDF...

The different firmware of the two devices is the issue. The P9000 firmware can't work with the x-rite ILS20 of the SP9900 chassis. You have to replace the ILS20 with an ILS30 and then it will work.
