When using the PANTONE METALLICS Solid Coated library, I am not able to see the Ink formulas (Color Details) for any of these colors. Why is this? I am trying to send an email (via Pantone website) to the Pantone Technical Support, but I have no luck... the website reports: Please enter valid...

I agree with Schnitzel, the paper white (PW) of your sample seems to be too bluish compared to the reference/standard paper white. Our eyes see the paper is really "white"... but translated to instruments they see blue... Check for the value of delta b* of the paper white. Probably the paper has...

Hi all, My post does not answer the original question, but for your info and just in case you have some “curiosity” ;)... The pic that I have attached to the post shows the SIDs values we were running when we produced a book with the XCMYK 2017.icc profile from Idealliance. The inks used were...

Hi darioluca, as far as I know you should be able to buy the book online. It is available at several bookshoops. https://www.libreriadesnivel.com/lib...9788469762127/ https://www.altair.es/es/libro/sideral_164325# And just in case you had any question or if you want to order a copy directly...

TVI aim values in ISO 12647-2:2004 are specified as densitometric TVI, as described in sections 4.3.5 and 5. FOGRA 39: ISO 12647-2 curve A (CMY) and B (K) FOGRA 47: ISO 12647-2 curve C (CMY) and D (K) FOGRA 43: ISO 12647-2 curve F (CMYK) And for the complete TVI table, refer to the page 44...

Hi Marie, I think we have exchanged some emails and I am sure you already know that I work for a printing house located in Barcelona. At Litografia Roses we have printed a book using this technique, and I would like to share with you a recent article by Hugo Rodriguez, he talks about it.- I...

I'd like to thank you all for your replies, have a nice weekend!

Hi all, Talking about CTP devices, I have been said that AGFA and FUJIFILM sell the same equipment, because the CTP manufacturer for both vendors is SCREEN. Could anyone here confirm that the Avalon N8-90 S (Agfa) is exactly the same model that Luxel T-9800 HD-NS (Fuji) ? is there any...

We have an Avalon N8 (Agfa), but the manufacturer of the CTP is SCREEN. I think Fujifilm's are also manufactured from SCREEN. In fact they have the 50% of the market share. My advice for you and your client is talk to support/service and get it done.

Our device creates an xml file for each plate/separation that has been exposed. I find this very useful because then we are able to feed our MIS. The purpose is to control the real plate consumption for each job (costs) and also to help our logistics people to easily control the stock of plates...

Thanks Keith, it was really helpful.

Is there anyone in the room with an updated Pantone Formula Guide? - I need the ink mixing formula in parts for Pantone 7556 C. Thank you!

Hi Gordo, nice survey I have voted the second option, however this is not really true and I would like to clarify. - I prefer to use the term "set of curves", each curve attached to an ink because not every unit (same press) print exactly the same way. And then, we use a "set of curves" for...

I would like to hear from you if you are using Agfa :Energy Elite Pro or Fujifilm Brillia HD LH-PLE. I am asking for feed-back, so please feel free to comment if you are a commercial web offset printer and you are using one of these brands/models. Are you happy with their durability on-press...

Well, I guess like many others we have a bunch of signature templates, plate templates and assembly templates. We use a naming convention for .sig and .pla files in order select the right file every time. I must say not all, but some plate templates have their plate marks very well positioned to...

Yes, we are using FastImpose with AE12.2. We specializes in commercial printing (sheetfed and webfed). Do you have any more questions?

I work for a commercial printer... I just have experience with AutoPilot (RGP) and the X-Rite IntelliTrax, so I would recommend you to have a look at their solutions. You can find more info here: Rutherford Graphic Products

Hi Stephen, thank you for this warm welcome :) I have realized of that too, so I have used two different instruments (eye-one pro), and surprisingly both gave me very similar values. But no, this two eye-one are without filter (no UV cut). I must admit one of them is quite old (Rev B), and the...

Dear Magnus and Stephen, just for curiosity - and for fun - I have made the same exercise with my Pantone swatch book. I got this values: L*43.4 a*49.3 b*0.6 Regards, ferran
