More times than anyone would imagine!! Along with designing labels in Quark and InDesign, or sending what one thinks is a "print ready" PDF file.

Greetings, I have seen similar, but no exactly the same, queries. Example, CMYK value for PMS 2587; In CS5 they were c=59%, m=66%, yandk=0% In CS6 2587 they are C=57.64%, m=83.15% yandk=0% when color settings is Prepress2 In CS6 change color settings to Emulate IL v6 and 2587 is now c=62.34%...

Greetings, Just returned from FTA Forum. Much talk about flat top dots. Any users willing to share their experiences with this technology in any kind of flexo printing environment, be it narrow web paper, wide web film, corrugated, or? Interested in successes as well as challenges with the...

Greetings, I am not sure what you mean by default, but if you mean to make it available in the toolbar along side the plus and minus buttons in Acrobat X, follow View>Show/Hide>Toolbar Items>Select & Zoom to add Marquee Zoom. -Bill-

Imposing in Illustrator Imposing in Illustrator Illustrator Actions can be used to make repeatable impositions including distortion. We have made hundreds of templates using the Actions palette, including nested and staggered impositions. One can use custom bearers. I have included a few demo...

Smoothing Profile Curves Michael - I have attached a gamut footprint from ColorThink comparing the smoothed (8th Profile) against the original profile. The difference appears to be negligible. Dan, this particular profile is using water based ink, but I also have profiles for UV ink that show...

Using ColorThink I have discovered through what I wish I could say was great intellectual process, but really was by accident, a way to smooth the bumpy curves in a profile. I am a flexo printer and have for years dealt with very bumpy press curves. Greetings, I have always averaged between 5...

G7 and Flexo Greeting Luc, Was that UV ink or water based ink?

Re: CMYK to Pantone Converter Re: CMYK to Pantone Converter I have attached a PDF that has 4 steps to do this inside Illustrator. Another way in addition to the one shown in the video link that was submitted by planet_that_spins.

I ran an initial press run and made a profile and then a proof via my CGS rip. When I ran a confirmation run I had a mis match between press and proof. Made a revised profile from the second run and then ran a third confirmation run. Third run matched original profile, almost. I adjusted my...

Profile Editor Weirdness Greetings Michael, After my original post, I did some research on Exception Type: EXC_BAD_ACCESS (SIGBUS), which was in the log file I posted. It seems that there are numerous programs that crash with this same exception. While most of the fixes address solutions to a...

Greetings, Today when attempting to use Profile Editor 5.0.10 on a MacBook Pro (320 GB HD, 4 GB Ram, 10.6.6) I experience some "weirdness". I am trying to edit one profile in the CMYK > Lab direction and when I open a CYMK image is looks strange - see attached screen shot. Additionally when I...

Colorport - another challenge. I posted awhile ago that Colorport and my iSis did not play well together, as Colorport would not see my iSis, while MeasureTool would. After the Holidays, if I can get Colorport and iSis to work together, I will measure and post results.

My "problem" is that the eye1 I use on my iO table returns numbers very close to my 530. Unfortunately, the iSis is "travelable", while my iO is not. Because we have 6 plants that I need to travel to, being able to travel with the iSis is saving us a good amount of money. I will have to do more...

Greetings, Guess I kind of jumped to a conclusion that color was also involved by reading: "By viewing a calibrated display color-managed by Remote Director software to GRACoL requirements for #1 paper"

Greetings, While the testimonial in this link is a bit dated, it appears that at one time Remote Director was used to remotely approve a press run. ICS uses Remote Director system to conduct first color-accurate remote press check - Printing Industry News from WhatTheyThink

Greetings Michael, My concern may be unjustified, but here it is. My magenta on press when measured with the 530 has a b* of (-4.5) - within the tolerances of +/- 2 or 12467-2. When the same patch is measure with my iSis the b* is now( -6) - not within the standards. When looking at the number...

Greetings, It appears the product that the customer is referencing is Remote Director by ICS. Anyone use this product?

One of our new customers wants to do remote press checks for color. Appreciate any and all education on this process. Thanks.

I use an Xrite 530 at press to qualify color (G7 process) and an iSis to measure press sheets. I have noticed for magenta that the UV Cut measurements from the iSis match better to my 530 than the no UV cut measurements. The no Cut adds about 2 to my b* (-5.0 for 530 vs -7.0 for iSis). For CYK...
