Tim, I believe that with print/PDF export that there is no direct control over the crop and other page marks, they are generated on the fly and use rego/all colour. Then one is forced to deal with them after the file is printed/exported. There is a trick where one can create their own custom...

Yes, there have been documented issues with this feature in various versions of Acrobat Pro over the years. For greater productivity one could of course use a hot folder based workflow such as Enfocus PitStop Sever, which will watch an input folder and move the automatically corrected files to...

Yes, your images are already raster. A WF RIP is doing a lot more than just rasterizing non raster content. Yes, some sort of nesting and colour management would indeed be helpful. As for your ICC question, you could try creating a v2 ICC from the same data and compare to the v4 using the same...

The solution has two general options: 1) Use an ecosolvent coated media specifically designed for the solution to directly print 2) Use an ecosolvent coated transfer media film specifically designed for the solution to indirectly print and laminate to the final substrate Beauty is in the eye...

You could look into Mirage for a “lite” solution: http://mirage.dinax.de/New_Features.html For Mac users, there is FitPlot: http://www.fitplot.it While at the higher end there is Griffin from Tilia Labs: http://tilialabs.com/griffin.html And I hate to mention it, however a WUNDES...

Thank you Bill W, great stuff I really appreciate it… I have read this many times and feel that I now have 100 more questions! Stephen Marsh

The Flex is for “flexible” and not “flexo”, however this of course is aimed at packaging mockups and proofs for flexo and litho print methods (whether flexible, folding carton, pre/post print etc). CGS ORIS have specifically formulated their own extended gamut CMYKOG eco-solvent inks and also...

Thank you Tim, this is all hypothetical at the moment. I am trying to better understand how one decides to create a tool. The cylinder gearing is known, the cylinder width is also known, as is the number of colours and the final label size and whether it is narrow or wide edge leading. So...

Yes, the budgeted hours are a critical factor in this type of calculation, more productive hours = less cost, greater margin and more (potential) revenue. Your total fixed costs are your costs, you can lie to yourself about them, however that is only “helpful” in the short term! You could look...

I am interested in how folk that live and breath narrow web flexo labels work out their new tooling, any constructive feedback would be great… I am of course open to specific links to further info. Trying to keep it simple for now, lets just say that we have a 6 colour narrow web press with the...

I tried a few things to remove the stubborn smaller element, so some steps may now be redundant and could possibly be removed… Start with only the two bold ones! _____ Select all Flatten form fields _____ Select forms remove selections _____ Select objects that use neither a stroke or fill...

Tim, I could only remove the large outer form element with an action list. The smaller form element, for whatever reason is an intrinsic part of the smaller objects and does not select and if manually selected and removed the actual printable objects go too! Strange… Stephen Marsh

Not sure if this matters, but ColorFlow or ColorFlow Pro? It has been a while and I no longer have access… However click/select/highlight the frame of the primary or secondary colour output (the large round cornered box holding all of the icons) and then use the export menu, or press the CIE...

So 99% of the time soft-proofing is not actually happening and is just “busy work”, right Danny? Agreed, the input PDF is refined (regenerated) – but not RIPed as that is a separate and different processing step and is why there are VPS and raster PDF output and many other options for the...

Can the Fiery output to file using the same processing settings as when sending to print? Stephen Marsh

With the Accura MIS there are various fields which can be input and can then be pulled through to a printed job ticket or XML job ticket. Stephen Marsh

If you have installed the X-Rite software after installing ORIS Color Tuner, then reinstall OCT and see if it installs a different preferred X-Rite driver… I would not manually move/place drivers. Hope this helps, Stephen Marsh

A biased dealer view, however all this and a whole lot more can be achieved with the Accura MIS: http://accuramis.com/core-functionality-c-307.php http://accuramis.com/purchase-ordering-and-stock-control--c-300.php Stephen Marsh

Enfocus PitStop Pro to the rescue, with it’s support for finding fonts using a regular expression: [/COLOR][/FONT] Stephen Marsh

I believe that this is so, when 1-bit proofing of high resolution separated plate files is used with KPS, one must use a 1440x1440 resolution media configuration (in KPS the media configuration controls most of the low level features of the printer). KPS: CGS ORIS Color Tuner Web...
