FM FM Gordo, the 1-99% at 200 was the certification on the plates, Screen rep says the setter "is certified for 20-21 micron FM screening". I am interested in giving it the best shot we can and see what happens, I think we would need to get the exposure on the plates fine tuned first though...

HDS Screening HDS Screening Yes Gordo, that does help, I see what you're saying, but my head is getting in the spin cycle on this now. My plates say certified for 10 micron. 1-99% 200lpi conventional, 300lpi FM or hybrid. How does this translate into spot size? What is 300lpi FM? I imaged...

Hds Hds Thanks Gordo, I went back and looked at the info again and noticed in the paragraph above the chart on page 9 of the white paper that is states "theoretical spot sizes in microns for the different HDS models and different output resolutions for 20% HDS screen". I didn't notice the...

We currently use Normal mode for 175 lpi plates with 2400dpi on our 6600E and are going to try FM screening using Harlequin's HDS Medium which is about 20 micron at 2400dpi according to their info. My question is, will our platesetter have to be recalibrated in any way for this switch and also...

Re: Xrite Re: Xrite Sorry, just noticed this is a trial version, mine expires 1-9-11, they got me, now I've uninstalled RapidCheck! Oh well, always had problems getting it to work here on our system.

XRite XRite Xrite has this program available now for free on their website as PrintCheck, says to uninstall RapidCheck before installing.

Finally Finally Ok, I got this worked out. Created a testchart in ColorPort from IT8 data set, printed, measured in ColorPort and saved for PM5, that file works in Measure Tool comparing to Gracol2006_Coatedv1.txt which is dataset for G7 correct? Thanks again

Comparing Comparing Yes, that makes sense, but it there a way to compare a measurement file with the data set in measure tool? If I generate a testchart, for my i1, to print and measure, it then has a different number of patches and arrangement than the data set does, so while I can load the...

Clarify Clarify Ok, maybe to better explain, I can print target and measure but is there a way to compare the measured against the data in Measure Tool? This is the software I have plus Colorport. I can generate a target for my i1 from Measure Tool or Colorport either one but that still...

If none of the reference files in Profilemaker contain spectral data, how do I compare my measured file to the reference in MeasureTool? Thanks

Comparing Proofs Comparing Proofs Just in case...Always remember to view under the correct lighting. That is something we've encountered here, one proofer greenish the other reddish in my office but match very close under correct lighting at press.

Xrite and Profilemaker Xrite and Profilemaker Xrite is supposed to be coming out with their new product this quarter, i1 Profiler, and they have Profilemaker on sale now.

Just got my EFI Designer Edition rip working on my Mac (been using it on PC for years) and it's working great except at end of page its printing, it speeds up and spools off a bunch of paper, don't know how much it would do cause I killed it before it finished, anyway all settings in prefs match...

PDF-x4 PDF-x4 Yes, Lucas, you're right about where to post, sorry, but while here.... Tried some files and JPEG is introducing artifacts into the files and although it may not be enough to notice I am uncomfortable "introducing" artifacts myself just by converting something. Our designers...

PDF-x4 PDF-x4 Is it safe to use the Downsampling with Automatic JPEG? I'm assuming it would be since its used in PDF-x4? I have resisted using this but am getting larger and larger files with image placed in Indesign and scaled down making effective resolutions around 1000dpi each and 3D...

Shingling Shingling Johnny_Jay "The only problem we have found is that you can not shingle accurately." Yes that is a problem for us too. I was thinking of looking at the page shifts on jobs that do this right using auto select and then making a job up with placeholders and assigning those...

Not exactly but close? Not exactly but close? Gordo, We don't use ink optimization software per se, but we do use it in that we print with a profile made from Gracol datasets using MaxK (high GCR) in Profilemaker. That being said, we are different than most in that we create all our own...

Al, this I've done also but I need to print on the front and the back flap also so made 2 page in preps head to head. Page I'm placing for the flap is on an 8.5x11 file page though and other stuff on that page shows up in non-image areas of Preps layout, any ideas? Got rid of that by just...

#10 template #10 template Thanks to all your help. This is what I've done in the past too, I have laid out in Preps and Indesign, found that scanning envelope and arranging in Indesign was the easiest way and you can place text right in there also. Was asking cause our converter doesn't have...

Ok here goes, we print books 5.5 x 8.5 format on our Harris web press, black text pages only, and the format coming off our press is double-parallel folded, so we have 2 books, head to foot. Finished sig size is 5.5" x 17.5" basically. I have always used Preps since version 1. As long as I'm...
