    Fast Way to "Centreline" many complex outlined paths?

    Greetings Stephan, I have attached an action and files for Illustrator 5 as unfortunately actions have had troubles working between different versions of Illustrator. Actually I am glad you did not have Ill 6, as this gave me a chance to streamline the action a bit. Two things to remember: 1...

    Fast Way to "Centreline" many complex outlined paths?

    Greetings Stephan, Love the challenge. I have attached a zip file containing a maker document and an action. Open the maker document, load the action, paste the dieline art from the customer in the clipboard and start the action. I have tested and refined this a few times and it has worked...

    Fast Way to "Centreline" many complex outlined paths?

    Greetings Stephan, Typed a bit too fast - the exploded view in the upper right shows what I, being a novice with these types of dieline, would guess to be a misalignment. Is the intersection of the outer dieline and what I am guessing is a crease line off?

    Fast Way to "Centreline" many complex outlined paths?

    Greetings Stephan, As I work through this I noticed in the last file you sent me some unconnected areas in the dielilne. I have attached a PDF file that highlights two of these areas. Can the die maker use the file with these unconnected areas or do you need to fix these?

    Fast Way to "Centreline" many complex outlined paths?

    Greetings Stephan - Don't mean to be a broken record, but in order to test my actions, I need to know what kind of file you receive and what your final file needs to look like. You indicate that "I only built the bare minimum to show what the intended outcome would be. Of course, there is a...

    Fast Way to "Centreline" many complex outlined paths?

    Greetings Stephen, Sorry for my delayed response. I am in a training class all day and I would swear that the hi speed wi fi in my hotel is bouncing to my room via a modem. A few questions: 1. Is the file you sent me named single-path-knife-inprogress.pdf your final file? 2. Is the distance you...

    Fast Way to "Centreline" many complex outlined paths?

    Stephen I have made some pretty involved Illustrator actions to create imposition templates and then stepping templates.

    Barcode BWR adjustment

    As a flexo printer we have to deal with, technical phrase, "alotta of squish" at press. Years ago we tested different BWR based by barcode size when printed on semi gloss stock with a waterbased varnish. We tested a version A code at 80%, 85%, 90%, 95% and 100% and felt that to best optimize the...

    Kodak's future?

    We have 3 seats of Kodak software / hardware running in 3 locations (Prinergy with Insite, Prinergy, and Evo). In the last 3 months we upgraded the Prinergy seats and Insite.

    Overprinting Issues - Who's fault? Any good way to prevent?

    In Acrobat Preflight Profiles, there is one named Potential Overprint Problems. I made a file that had two identical boxes both stroked with PMS 032 (red) and filled with PMS 012 (yellow). One box had stroke set to overprint and the other box did not. The preflight profile identified the...

    Harmony curves in Prinergy

    You can control the angle of spot color screens in the Calibration & Screening area of the process template by selecting which color to map to in the Default Spot Color Handling area. However it appears that regardless of what color you pick, the curve value for that color, if it is a tint, will...

    I would like to have the Separations along with the Pan and Zoom windows stay open through restarts of Acrobat (and maybe others as needed). I have searched but seem to find on answer. Anyone know how to do this? Just incase inquiring minds wonder why, we just updated to Prinergy 5.2 and...

    Warping/Distortion in Illustrator or InDesign?

    Create a dieline of the label you want to warp and stroke it. Using the Effect>Warp>Arc select Style: Arc and Horizontal. See attached screen shot. Adding other elements such as the type I added is helpful to insure the final look of the label is what you want. Print out your first SWAG, cut on...
