Could you not just bring it into illustrator and convert to CMYK? I mean if you were the other printer?

Are you saddle stitching? Or just folding?

Yep. That;s how it goes.

Xante is an amazing machine that's pretty much only good use is for envelopes.

The only way I've found to lose the smears is to literally cake on the iso. like spray it on thick...even pour it on. And wipe with lint free clothes only. Although lately I've been cleaning my boards with Rapid Tac and paper towel and its been doing a really nice job. No problems yet! Also...

I don't know what keeps happening to my comments but they keep disappearing. So I'm sorry if this shows up twice. Can anyone explain why you convert to RGB before proofing? I always rasterize a proof but I've never bothered with converting to RGB first. Is it just for online viewability?

I've always proofed with raster but I'm curious to know why you all convert to RGB first? Just for online viewability?

I'd like to add though, that the Acuity will always have "gloss banding". (Sorry I don't know crap about latex printers lol) And also, the lamp settings and media profiles play a big part in avoiding banding on the Acuity/OCE.

It's all good. What's the print industry without a little humour?

Yes I did try googling it. But I was looking for the video that had the same title as the one in the other post. Thanks tho.

Rolands are amazing printers. They're great for decals, wraps, posters, really anything that comes on a roll.

Hey I'm not familiar with blueback paper but I wouldn't recommend highest heat settings for poster style paper. I would use a Generic Paper profile.

Hi! Doesn anyone have experience printing double sided substrates such as coro, sintra, etc... on their flatbed? I feel like I've tried everything and I'm usually successful in lining up one direction, but never both. HELP!

Hello print world, I'm desperate for some help with my flatbed printer. I'm trying to print to a table cloth (which is essentially like a bedsheet). The table vacuum won't all for enough suction so I'm using the spoiler board but it, too, doesn't suction enough and then the heads end up...

Does anyone have a link to watch how Pantone books are printed? There was a thread from 2008 on here that had the link but it no longer works and I'd really like to watch how they do it and ensure such accurate consistency over all these years...

Humidity will definitely help, if not completely solve your problem. Alternatives are to leave it in the skid, zip tied until you need it or placing something heavy on top.

Flatten and rasterize the image. That should reduce the file significantly. Also, save as a post script, then import into distiller. Distiller will auto-generate a new, smaller PDF for you.

I always flatten transparencies when saving the printready file. Either that or select all and rasterize at 100% scale.

This could be a number of different things. 1. Are you using the take-up reel? 2. Are your media profiles correct? 3. Are your heater settings correct? 4. Are your heads clean?
