    CC extremely frustrating!

    Seems to have been down for 20 hours at this point. The forums are inaccessible with the same error.

    Glueing Sheets?

    You said "Short Run" I've been know to apply spray mount to two sheets and align them together.

    Wrong color - Manage, Profile or Cal?

    Yep, mixed rgb and cmyk interacting with transparency was the root cause. I've been drinking the rgb and cmyk can co-exist kool-aid.

    Wrong color - Manage, Profile or Cal?

    Follow up - Everything affects everything. We went through the gamma adjust to balance the neutrals via Administrator setting/system setting/expert adjust/quality adjust/printer gamma offset adjust (thank you luv2sled) The results were a moderate improvement. Dot 1 was a good representation of...

    Wrong color - Manage, Profile or Cal?

    @ Stephan Marsh - yep, it's the highlight's - @ F.I.ImGoingFishing - not with a gun to my head. Possibly the same results, but do yourself a favor going forward and convert to cmyk via Acrobat Preflight @ luvsled - nice to know. You touched on the Dot choice. As I delved into this I noticed that...

    Wrong color - Manage, Profile or Cal?

    Thank you to all three with input. I'm under full service and maintenance, with bundled tools for the task at hand. My tech has me modifying the default profiles...I don't care for eyeball techniques, but it is achieving dramatic improvement over what I (and my quality minded clients) have...

    Wrong color - Manage, Profile or Cal?

    I gathered together the ES-2000 and it's associated components (Calibration Plate & Backup Board) - hit a wall... For Cal, I output a Calibration Page - I am not familiar with Profiling... Is my goal an Output Profile?

    Wrong color - Manage, Profile or Cal?

    Bizhub C6000 IC-413 Embedded Controller All the Fiery extra's - Colorwise Pro Tools, Profiler, Productivity Package, etc. I've noticed light grays output are objectionably yellow, far from neutral, far from wysiwyg. (values 7-7-7-7) This particular job I've cranked the yellow curve waaay down...

    AB DICK 360 Problem

    wow, we're going way back thinking about 360's and dampening. Is that water pan roller bronze/copper in color? Scrub it occasionally with common household scouring powder - Ajax. Avoid cleaning it with blanket/roller wash which causes it to collect ink. That roller should run clean, no ink.

    AB DICK 360 Problem

    End Play - that's what you need to set - almost none. The bearings in the new roller may not be completely set resulting in a larger effective length.

    Laser Plates - HP Laserjet 5000/5100

    hmm, i'm in Livonia. Have you made a decent transition to the Laser plates? How many plates might you run in a week; Camera vs Laser? (I'll try to stay focused on) an original question, that plates are stretching. If you camera plates are striping to the blanket at 7mm than the laser plates...

    E mail is a pain in the behind

    If you set type via copy from Outlook, there is the caveat that Outlook tries like heck to make you include the End Paragraph marker (I don't want it!). There's the hassle of saving images in the message body (learn the attachment feature customer...) Estimators get tired/overburdend/hurried and...

    Laser Plates - HP Laserjet 5000/5100

    Yes, you might pack under the blanket as a test to whether more plate to blanket is advantageous. To much pack and the plate will image the blanket before setting the machine (control handle) for plate to blanket. (This will also increase the roller stripes to plate, a bit...) Some things are...

    Laser Plates - HP Laserjet 5000/5100

    Human behavior. That's bunk, unless there's something odd in your workplace...it's a 3 second movement. If your punch does not have a guide, place a piece of tape in place for consistency. It is not as easy as a metal plate. It will become simple and quick after 30-100 plates No different...

    Laser Plates - HP Laserjet 5000/5100

    Re: adhesive for the plates. In practice you would hold the plate at 1/2 arms length and spray the back of the plate lightly. This suffices most situations. You can mount the plate, perform normal setup actions, remove the plate several times and the adhesive will maintain its integrity. If the...

    Laser Plates - HP Laserjet 5000/5100

    Pinbar's and plate stretch go hand in hand and always have. Those reinforcement strips sound (costly and) time consuming. (I think a plate should be able to hang in 30 seconds or less :-) The normal solution is to spray the back of the plate with "Spray Mount". They are typically termed...
