Support for layers in pdfs is handled by a separate expensive module in Prinergy, if you talk to Kodak they will probably turn it on so you can run it as a demo for a short time. I get by without the module and use pitstop to paste in place cutters from one pdf to another. Its also quite easy...

traps for flexo can be a long way from the norm, biggest one I had to put on was 3mm for printing on to cardboard just under 2m across. For Litho they are, as suggested, almost a thing of the past, either added automatically by the workflow or just left butt-fit. I'd be interested to know how...

Thanks Stephen will give these a go next week.

I'd also be interested in an Action List to delete everything except Dieline and Trim marks from imposed pdf. Also could I adapt it to delete everything except SpotUV and trim marks. To use it on the Spot UV separation I need to also retain any masks affecting the Spot UV separation. I'm...

I don't think Kodak any longer offer or support ink-jet proofers, we were recently upgraded to Prinergy 6 and were told most installs now bolt on third-party inkjet and RIP solution such as GMG, we are carrying on with the Kodak Matchprint software that came with Prinergy 5 but I'm not sure it...

err that was what lnivin was trying to do, but he was wondering why InDesign was unable to do it correctly with an EPS.:p checking the include Postscript Color Management checkbox will lead you down a path of which no good will come:o If its a photoshop EPS that has been saved with that...

not sure about the first point, as I'm not sure what the Working would refer to in your scenario. point 2) you've asked photoshop to convert and its done it. point 3) postscript (and therefore EPS) does not understand ICC profiles, my understanding is that the ICC profile is embedded as an...

would guess its an interactive form, the latest Pitstop update has an Action List to flatten form data

a couple of years ago we had a Canon ip8400 and an Epson7600, my experience was that we were constantly head cleaning the Epson almost couple of days but the only time the Canon banded was when the head failed after about three years of intermittent use (we used them for proofing only, not...

Used the Flatten form data to content Action list today, worked perfectly. Went to try and set custom quick key commands but only A-Z available, any reason I can't use 1-9? was hoping to set hide selection and show all same as Illy

toronar remembers correctly that Quark has never been able to produce a composite pdf with placed DCS. Resaving as psd used to work with quark 8.1 but I have a feeling that psd import XT was broken with one or two of the dot upgrades later on. If you save the DCS as a pdf and place that in...

Can you extract the smart objects to Illustrator and place the rest of the psd into Illustrator separately, can you then build the Layers & transparencies in Illustrator.

Hi almaink, I've seen the same thing once before, very similar content; drop shadows on circles that overlap, default Prinergy Trapping was my cause, turned off the Trap part of the Refine and everything was fine.

Adobe's decision to bundle InDesign with the Creative Suite was IMO the main reason for Quark's demise, a lot of the InDesign features talked about in the article were there with the pre CS version 2.0 and there was very little take up. The Suite effectively gave it away free to anyone who...

I have pitstop 12 (sorry the version 7 I mentioned was the first version that was supposed to allow editing Form XObjects). Usually it's just adding bleed to a rectangle or two but the yellow box seems to act as part clipping path part group? the ungroup edit tool is greyed out, there is an...

Is there a web video available as to how to go about this? I'm reading that I'm able to to do this from Pitstop version 7. But am struggling to figure it out using guesswork. Sub question: is PDF Form XObject the correct terminology? Using the out-of-the-box Pitstop highlight colours, I'm...

Thanks Stephen will try these out next week

Are there any "ball park" profiles out there, Rich Apollo described the colour shift pretty much spot on for a packaging job I'm looking at, the finished white is also about 8% yellower than my fogra39 proofing paper, some yellowing is down to board and some extra down to laminate. I don't have...

Just finished Days of Blood and Starlight and Daughter of Smoke and Bone by Laini Taylor, can't wait for the next one.

View>Show/Hide>Toolbar Items>Select & Zoom>Pan & Zoom will toggle "Pan & Zoom" icon in and out of the lower section of your toolbar. From the toolbar its just a single click to the icon to open the palette. For the Output Preview icon to be added to the upper section of the toolbar, click on...
