    upscaling images in pdf

    ​Ok My work flow is quite a bit different because for the most part it's large and grand format printing or 1 or 2 page press or digital press print work and I avoid Adobe products unless it is a must. It can get funky if the file has overlapping transparency that has not been flattened...

    RGB vs CMYK

    I would assume the AQ printer is close to sRGB or maybe Adobe RGB in it's gamut and the dyesub is not.

    PDF file size limit?

    Asking maybe what may be a stupid question, but what is the page dimension of this one page document? We regularly write large PDF files in the sign business in terms of file data but the 200" page size has been issues. Using PC's not MACs older Adobe products and CorelDraw X7.

    upscaling images in pdf

    My solution is a bit out of the PDF realm in that in my opinion Adobe products are the last place to do this. I perform this task daily in the large and grand format world. I take the PDF and extract the image in any way that suits, open it in Corel Photo-PAINT and export for Photozoom Pro...

    Matching proof to customer supplied proof

    I would suggest communication with your rep that has managed the account, ask if there's been issues in terms of color with your delivered product is so then the direction is certainly one of question and answer to see what they've been disappointed with. If not then the communication starts...

    Matching proof to customer supplied proof

    Maybe this is a client your company should consider as a non-starter

    RGB vs CMYK

    Sure any of the pure RGB colors will not reproduce well, any RGB color space, sRGB or larger, R255 G0 B0, R0 G255, B0, R0 G0 B255 just to mention 3, the list can go on for quite awhile. If you have access to an application that displays gamut views you can see what will and what won't reproduce...

    Prepress or pre-press art?

    Sorry dabob but we're to the point where the customer is not always right but may not be right for us at all. If I'm breaking even or losing money I'll stay home.

    RGB vs CMYK

    In an ICC color managed work flow with Ink Jet printers and some toner based digital devices I prefer to send a mixture of RGB/CMYK data. All images as RGB, spot color converted in the application to RGB (assuming that the application is using Adobe RGB, ECI or a similar wider gamut RGB color...

    Prepress or pre-press art?

    To me it's a relationship thing, general clients we require PDF only, great clients get proper help with application files. Either way you have to be able to work with the applications, now marketing and ART CREATION are another thing that require you to hire special people

    Finally a viable alternative to PhotoShop?

    You guys are funny! The Quarking of Adobe? One can only hope, I do mainly signs now as the margins in general print are not what they once were however a sign and donor wall client has begged me to take back their printing, they as well as I Quarked Adobe along time ago are on the PC, Windows...

    Need Color Management Direction

    It seems that you're on track with 1 and 2 on 4 It's been a couplke years since I worked on color engine coding but if memory serves later versions on PDF contain the alternate color space numbers within the PDF. Thic can be checked with PitStop Pro With 5 I would suggest going on site or...

    Need Color Management Direction

    Where are you located? One bit of advice, read quite a bit before purchasing services, READ EVERYTHING WITH A GRAIN OF SALT!! The book real world color management is a decent start, even though they completely miss the boat on some subjects as most books do. Search the web for other sources...

    CS6 PMS Values in CMYK vs CS5 PMS Values in CMYK

    I believe Adobe was forced to do this, Corel did this 3 years ago. Yes conversions aremore accurate but in my opinion the best reason for this is that this should be the final move. These conversion specs have changed so often that there was a need for a final target LAB is the best choice...

    Spot colors and gradients?

    Spot color and gradients Spot color and gradients There can be several issues with spot colors and gradients, the first being that the RIP may have limited support for such output. Most of the issues I see now are related to the user creating what they think is a spot color gradient while...

    PANTONE Certified Printer Program?

    I don't disagree, but Apple does not give a rats butt for helping the user control costs. Apple has been a waste of time since about 1996. CorelDRAW runs in 3 and soon 4 Microsoft operating systems apanning nearly 12 years. On the PC side backward compatibility has always been vastly superior...

    What comes before Newbie? That's where we are - Troubles with X-Rite and colors

    >I agree with Michael. I don't think CorelDraw is at the heart of this matter, I'm not surprised that you say that, for many CorelDRAW has never been an issue. I have unfortunately have seen many attempts with CorelDRAW as well as Adobe products to modify ink jet or other digital print engines...

    What comes before Newbie? That's where we are - Troubles with X-Rite and colors

    >I am sorry, but i really don't think CorellDRAW settings will matter much here. Yes and no depending on the workflow. Specifically since it was mentioned that currently they have X4 and will be bringing X5 on line soon. Spot color definitions even from a properly exported CorelDRAW file from...
