    Straight talk about Ricoh Pro c901 registration

    This was a separate black box, about the size of a shoe box....that sits behind our machine just plugged into our 110v UPS. It just has a green light showing that the power is on. tech had to plug stuff into the engine so that it controlled the fans, even when the main(red) switch is OFF). The...

    PDF and Open Type Fonts

    One of many possibilities... a. are fonts embedded properly in the PDF? (using a PDF/X-(?) standard) b. does the font have embedding restrictions? (some fonts used to have wrong 'switches' thrown that cause them not to embed...don't know if they were Adobe fonts, or just some other rouge fonts...

    Lost Two Clients...

    Yeah, regular crap continues. Value added service just doesn't work for the folks that don't understand value.... example: Just lost a $7200 bid on a job (we have produced before) because we were $95 too high. Really?.... but c'est la vie....and caveat emptor!

    Our proof is Gracol, their proof is Gracol, and neither match

    Yes, you are correct...I just didn't fully understand the scenario. This leaves me with a new understanding to the limitations of the wedge. I hadn't thought that a customer proof vs. our proof would vary in that way if they were both certified to the same standard. I did not think the color...

    Our proof is Gracol, their proof is Gracol, and neither match

    Was this strip as large as the IDEAliance ISO 12647-7 strip? I do agree that the strip does not tell you everything...but if checked against a good reference set it should be pretty close (at least enough to flag a SWOP vs a GRACoL proof?)

    Default line screen & dot shape

    We are a sheet-fed shop doing general commercial printing. Defaulting at - 175-Line screen for coated sheets, 133 for uncoated. Rampage RCS screening (a euclidean dot)

    Our proof is Gracol, their proof is Gracol, and neither match

    This is akin to the customer saying "It looks fine on my screen..." If they supply a proof in this way, they must have an approved test wedge on it for certification...without that you are just looking at pretty pictures without any reference to printing reproducibility.

    Which color is

    Not much to further this discussion... 1. Put Pantone Yellow Ink in your ink well. 2. Print your coated sheet. 3. Print your (same) coated sheet (again). Sheet now has 2(two) coats/passes/hits/layers of Pantone Yellow Ink. Pantone Yellow C2X = Pantone Yellow Ink - on C(oated Sheet) - 2(Two) -...
