So the Agfa guy took care of calibrating your paper through QMSX?

It gets stranger, you don't get any result in the Event Log... If you could post that PDF you ran the script on, I could probably help more...

First you need do download a newspapers color profile such as ISOnewspaper26v4.icc or SNAP-2007.icc , place it in your profile folder on your mac. Then in InDesign go to View/Proof Setup/Custom then select one of the 2 profiles, check "Preserve CMYK numbers" and "Simulate Paper Color". For...

Stephen, it works here but do yourself a favor and open the same PDF in Acrobat Pro, paste the following code in Script Editor, make sure the "Event Log" tab is active (bottom right of the script editor window), run the script then copy what you'll get in the Event Log tab after you run it and...

Stephen, do you get the PDF to open in Acrobat at all when you drop the file on the script?

Hi Lukas, great analysis. You're right, a drop shadow effect was used under the white box. I understand that both PDFs are made 2 different ways and I also understand that my APPE rip is supposed to print the dark lines since they are in the InDesign exported PDF. My point is that both PDFs...

Quality Map and Ink Table are both 8P-AMDP250-UHQ-720. I use UHQ because I've seen strange patterns appearing on proofs when using HQ. I'm using Epson 240 Standard Proofing paper that I profiled using Sherpa CMS to generate and measure targets and ColorTune Profile to create the actual media...

Dov, Leonard, the attached PDF file is the kind of spec sheet we get all the time from publications. This one has been updated last month and I received it today. As you can see, not only PDF/X-1a is the required PDF flavor but they want you to take the PS to Distiller road. A lot of...

Here are the PDFs for you guys to look at. TBYLT02_turnstiles_side.pdf is the PDF exported from InDesign CS4 TBYLT02_turnstiles_side.indd.pdf was generated using PS to Distiller The PDF setting that was used for both is the standard PDFX1a 2001 with downsampling at 72dpi and JPEG High...

On a mac, you can use the following script. Paste the code in Script Editor, click compile and save as an application. Drag one or multiple PDFs on the application icon and it will open each PDF in Acrobat to get infos about them (size, # of pages) and then place them in InDesign and export...

Have a very simple file that has a white box on top of a colored background tiff image. Both boxes have bleed about 0.5" outside trim. Tried the direct export from ID to PDFX1a using 0.25" bleed and compared to a file generated from the ID to PS to PDFX1a (same PDF settings) and found out that...

Hondarr9 and Bloodsaler, Do you print proofs to some kind of standard (Gracol, SWOP, ISO) and verify the result using EFI tools along with a spectro? How is color consistency when doing so? Are you using Epson paper? Thank you for your feedback.

It really depends on the PDF receiver... If you want to have a quick idea, go to the preflight pane in Acrobat 9 Pro, select one of the preflight profiles under "Prepress" (choose the appropriate situation), click on "Options" at the top right of the Preflight pane and select "Create Profile...

Was just wondering if anyone is using the Epson 9900/7900 proofing edition (bundled with EFI Colorproof) to get some feedback about the product.

I agree with Sherbert. Also, InDesign (CS?) on a mac or PC?

Yes, photo black is what I use.

I currently use Epson Ultrachrome inks along with Epson Standard proofing paper 240 size 44" x 100 ft, results are great and I feel safe since I use Epson supplies (so one less variable to worry about in case the Epson print quality declines). Also, the Epson paper I use is Gracol-certified and...

Before setting-up your InDesign print settings, you have to understand that your Fiery rip Color Setup will override most (if not all) color data sent to it if it's being set-up a certain way (it may be set-up to emulate SWOP, to convert RGBs and so on). So you have to check that first and...

The Epson 9800 is what I currently use with my APX 4 workflow. I was starting to have serious clogging (clogging occuring while the proof would print, so half the proof OK and the rest filled with white lines) after 3 years of use. Just got the printhead replaced and while it improved the...

Excellent!
