I'm not shocked by this; I wouldn't want to experience it, but after 25 years I can conceive it. Given that the image is creeping in the direction of travel I would carefully consider the - plate to blanket pressures. (Excess pressure is dragging/stretching the plate. It is clamped at both...

I mix with a 16 part scale/formula by choice and equipment. The run length is 150 sheets...my math is lacking at the moment...any chance of a formula in parts...i need to mix about 1 oz such as this 7530 formula - Black - 3 1/2 021 - 1 Trans Wht - 31 5/8 (if I were to mix that 7530, I would...

I've been asked to print (wedding) invites for another shop, Pantone 7708. I informed them my (old) book does not include that color, that I would eyeball the ink density/color and that they would be responsible for providing either the ink or a formula. Their reply - "Pantone 7708C...

Actually this can be done with a single number column. 4 page ID document with the same <<field>> on all four pages; maybe a four page document with the data field on the master page. (Tested, yes. 4 page data merge with variable on the master) For this single position number there is an...

Same scenerio, no changes. You'll likely get more detailed replies, but... The success occurrences of opening a pdf in Illy usually result from pdf's created from Illy. Beyond that it's a crapshoot. Outline fonts? What if there needs to be a last minute correction?? Do you want you fonts...

It is a comparative issue. Within the small press market the factory dampening (especially for the old school repliers) would have been either Conventional Molleten Sleeve dampening or Intergrated Dampening both of which were subject to performance swings. While not rocket science, the operator...

The TEC machines do utilize a Infared Preheat. We do 30 sheet to 300 sheet jobs on a regular basis. Setup is nil - about as long as it takes the lamp to heat up. Waste could be classified as nil; all the coating recirculates into the source container. Here's the message I sent to TEC...

A quick look at my Pantone guide - 301 is not achievable in cmyk, a strong reason to leave the color defined as spot. The sign manufacturer can adjust their spot definition or use the devices spot tables.

I have to ask, have you verified/measured the image on the plate? I have two imagesetters. One does not produce perfect rectangles. Measure the image on plate 8 times - twice from four all sides. Is it straight and square. You indicate you're running down on x & y axis. (Tail to the ops side)...

Check the transport rollers in the camera - mark up a plate or press sheet. Place it near the rack or run it thru and stop. Is there a partial roller in this area?

Elecrostatic plates are extremely sensitive...much more than silver emulsion. 3 years is old for Dampening Rollers. Original rollers from certain manufacturers can go 4 years, but someone chime in... To my understanding, Crestline and Syntac are now merged (Parmarco?). Syntac rollers will not...

Legacy artwork I'd prefer to go digital with. A Black & white pdf (scan) previously plated, now RIP'd to Fiery With Fiery Image Viewer, I have only black can I re-color this? I could PS it, but trying to keep it (more) simple. What is your workflow for previously setup legacy black & white...

I (wanted to) tried to feed a 3.5 x 8.5 and found the guides would not come down that small yesterday. They do appear to come in to 4 in however so if you can feed some blanks, go for it with this in mind... If you feed many sheets of any size, the fuser belt will show wear marks at the outer...

Not the kind of thing I expect people want to admit to...self included, but We purchased a TEC Lighting stand alone, hand fed coater and use it on demand; frequently 20-50 pieces, occasionally several hundred. Perhaps three jobs one day, three days shut down. I'll admit to being remis about...

C6000 - Fiery RIP Toner levels, as PrintIT described, always 100% or empty in the consumables pane, but there will be sufficient warning (at machine UI and CWS) when they are low to alert and allow you to replace them before the machine stops. Job progression - never (seems) correct at the...

Can be correct so long as the text curser is not placed into a frame. Upon editing text, the text engines flow type differently.

@Stephen Marsh - ok, so my ignorance of PS and GCR is not the hurdle here. A global replacement of cmy to k is pretty difficult if not impossible to achieve. @mattbeals - yep, actual art file as received - as I prefaced, this is not a perfect world. That file is an actual file and is...

@alu - the files are intended to print color. @Stephen Marsh - I'm very un-schooled in the area of GCR/UCR. I suggested to the person I'm communicating with to look up the idea's of GCR and RIP-side software. Gordo's recent post is very interesting stuff but I cut my teath in the "pleasing...

I've been corresponding with someone met via forums similair to this one and have gone beyond my expertise. Effectivly it started as a band-aid approach to where - The person assembles a larger (book) document from supplied (pdf) files. The normal scenerio applies. Some files are poorly...
