You can still purchase a permanent licence, it's your choice, but it still needs to connect to the licencing server to verify validity from time to time We have Prinergy and Expo as permanent licences, and Insite & KPS as monthly.

As far as I know, Kodak no longer provide USB licence dongles, all licences are now managed through their servers.

PrintIQ will cover most of these with various add on modules https://printiq.com/

We use them all the time in Preps, they were much easier in Preps 5.x and earlier, so I often go back to Preps 5.3 if I need to make a new Cut & Stack template

For some reason, I had thought that Corel acquired Framemaker around the same time at WordPerfect & Ventura, but it is indeed Adobe.

That's how offset presses work, you don't see the result of your adjustments on a screen, the operator will start off by getting the sheet to the correct densities for the standard they are following, this is generally done using a densitometer on the console, hand held on older presses, but...

Do they still have Ventura Publisher and Framemaker? Ventura (pre Corel), running on Gem was my first foray into Desktop Publishing

I'm not a web printer, but I have seen this setting in imposition software eg. Preps That is where you are most likely to find it rather than in the rip itself

If you are supplying content as CMYK, changing the profiles will not change the output values unless the printer is doing CMYK-CMYK profiling, which is uncommon for offset printing. The purpose of the profile is to simulate the output of one device on another, usually when changing colourspaces...

Very true, That's why printers employ estimators, job planners and prepress operators (like me) who work out how to make the customers ideas work. In this case, if the colour pages were mid-section (eg. page 9 & 10 in colour) we would print as part of the offset section. if the colour pages fell...

When you print a perfect bound book on offset it is folded into 4, 8, ,12, 16 or sometimes 32pp sections, during the folding, the signatures are notched to allow the glue to penetrate, this is called notch binding. A digitally printed perfect bound book is, as you say, a bunch of sheets glued...

In addition to all the comments so far. Before trimming the head and foot, put each stack of books into the guillotine with the spine under the clamp but clear of the blade. Do a cut cycle with clamp pressure about 4000, the will help to flatten the books and make trimming easier and more accurate.

Fry if you must, we prefer baking down here, it's a healthier option :ROFLMAO:

I just looked at your Postscript error, it appears that the error is originating from the Adobe Graphics Manager, which is not a supported function in Postscript. The PDF is referencing an instruction from AGM.dll and parsing that into the Postscript stream.

I expect it would go through Postscript as printing to PDF suggests the OP is printing to a Postscript file which is processed by Distiller via a printer driver. This is what we call "Re-baking" a PDF and is something we've probably all done in the past as a last resort to get a PDF to rip. I...

I've just gone back and re-read the original thread, and I came away with the same headache I suffered the first time. In my 44 years in the printing industry, I have never encountered anything as ridiculous as this. I do feel that Xerox should have been a bit more diligent in the first place by...

I suspect a hangover from older rips, where you would either get a black & white image or a very dull & washed out CMYK conversion from an RGB image. Brisque for example did a horrible conversion, basically mapping the RGB channels to CMY. Modern DFEs have ICC based conversion settings built in...

It was slow and expensive, but made great proofs, I still have some lying around here. The pens were a bit troublesome I recall queuing up about 30 proofs to run overnight, only to find that a pen had failed part way through the third proof.

These are the ones that need to go through a clean out unit after exposure right? Are you using the Adamas gum for clean out?
