    Please give me your advice before I pursue purchasing used Adobe CS6?

    If you think that CS6 will serve your needs, then go for it....(In my shop, this would only work with 20% OR less* of our current customers) We do ask for X-4 pdfs if possible, but you still get the files that even pitstop can't (easily) hack through...and you need the native file(s) to...

    Matching proof to customer supplied proof

    Ask them how they can verify (to you) that the proof they are making is managed and consistent? <snark> You could ask them to take a picture of the file on their screen for you to match, you will have the same 'success' matching that as you would a customer supplied (a...

    RGB vs CMYK

    Slush11, I never assume who knows what, just trying to understand what the real question is...and hope I know enough to explain what's in my head....(right or wrong) RGB has a larger gamut than CMYK, meaning that certain RGB colors just can't be reproduced faithfully in CMYK....look at a gamut...

Quick summary : On PAPER = CMYK makes ALL color* (subtractive color/reflective) , On SCREEN = RGB makes ALL color* (additive color/emitted) ALL/EVERY single...

    Printing VERY small Text

    This all depends on the resolution of your output device (Digital, CTP, Film) 4000dpi vs 600/1200/2400 dpi Lower resolution devices or settings will not hold 1 point type...as one laser dot on your imager might be larger than the character... By 'cleaning up', are you referring to toner...

    How to insert blank every xx copies for a single sheet document???

    Tested, this works great. You set the number of sheets per pad, then choose a tray source for inserting a back cover/slip sheet if desired. The only 'personal' mindset that I had to adjust was for the actual copies desired....i.e. if you set the PAD to 25, and you want 100 total printed...

    Dot Gain before press

    in the first step - 50 = 52%, where are you getting this measurement? off the digital file, or is this off the plate? in the second step, you mention the plate reads 67 in the 50...this seems about normal depending the the amount of gain you need on press...(if the first step is off the digital...
