    Opacity masks from Illustrator

    Unfortunately Esko had / have a strong focus on Illustrator with DeskPack plugins for a long time and I'm not sure how many experienced PE people they have left. And since the "merge" with ArtworkSystems in 2007, Artpro has defiantly been the preferred standalone editor. So I'm not surprised...

    Opacity masks from Illustrator

    Macmann Did you have a look at the file I attached? Check the layer structure. I have split every colour into different layers. So then you know you won't accidentally change any other colour.

    Opacity masks from Illustrator

    Packedge is much like Illustrator. 1st, dont ungroup! 2nd copy everything to a new layer and start removing what you don't want until you end up with exactly what you need. At the end compare the original with what you have created to ensure you didn't miss anything. Took me 5-10 min.

    Pre press Operators/Technicians and Sales

    Not everything can be automated, there are defiantly still room for a skilled operator in the process. And I don't believe that a general media output operator can require the skills needed for both digital media and all the different printing technologies. Today you can't even get an offset...

    A little color test

    A screen capture captures whats displayed on the screen but it doesn't capture what I see on on the screen. Only a photo can do that. The example I provided is the exact same picture. The one on the left was captured with my phone, the one on the right is a screen capture of the same picture..

    InDesign to Illustrator

    Most label converters do their trapping with illustrator plugins from esko, PackSharp etc or with standalone editors like Artpro or Packedge and not in the RIP. Simply because the result isn't good enough otherwise.

    New member, and need some advise

    You can't match Pantone with CMYK. What you should look for is a 6-7 colour press. CMYK +Green, Blue & Orange. Its called "Extended Gamut". Google that and you will find a lot of information.
