    Profiling V/s standardization

    I usually explain that standardisation is to align a machine/process to a standard so that printed results will be similar in different print plants. Profiling is what a printer does for the individual press. to simplify (Safe CMYK workflow): If only profiling a press RGB images are usually...

    As Michael says use overprint, nothing else. Using different transparency blend modes and spot colours is just asking for trouble.

    View Separations without Adobe Professional

    Since PDf workflow allows us just to use one file format, I don't see how Acrobat Pro can be a "too expensive" option… what is the cost of not having it? Next you'll be wanting to save on drinking coffee with no mugs?

    The Battle Continues

    You're at college… you should be learning. Best way to learn is to be exposed to a large knowledge base. Being exposed to just one vendor isn't going to do that for you. Having a one platform only is going to make the college narrow minded. The industry is mixed platform ergo you need to be...

    Freehand gradients visible steps

    @yavo interesting that the angle of the banding shifts between left and right image. (but there is banding in both) Adding noise to a gradient produces similar result as hybrid raster.

    Freehand gradients visible steps

    CMYK: which swatch?

    :) seems I missed a fun discussion about colour. And remember pantone ink is and INK (paint in a bucket) not a colour, not only is CMYK device/process dependant but so are Pantone colours. Ink properties change, industrial machines change, paper qualities and properties change,... (and let's...

    We get this message on saving our AI files...

    You seem to have isolated it to the server. I know of servers generating previews and resizing photoshop files so they become 72ppi (but not loosing pixels). You need to find out what the server is doing to the file (btw are the clocks synchronised? )

    CS6 PMS Values in CMYK vs CS5 PMS Values in CMYK

    Actually not entirely true. If you place one PDF with a red square called "My Colour" and then a second PDF/EPS with "My Colour" where this time it is green both will be red in the PDF, but if you print on a non PDF/PS compatible printer you will get your original colours (unless simulating...

    Printing in high DPI / What about PPI

    The dpi is the size of the smallest dot the printer can produce, this dot is print or no print, on or off. Now to be able to print different values of a colour a pattern of lines is constructed, this is the LPI. If DPI is 1200, and LPI is 200, then you you have a square that is 6x6 subdots (at...
