Are the CMYK images deviceCMYK or are they tagged with an ICC profile? Although intended for blind exchange, do you know for a fact that the F39 output intent is correct? Until we have new PDF standards in the wild, there is only one output intent, so what is the assumed CMYK source ICC profile...

Look into your Caldera RIP for auto white ink generation settings, above and beyond what client’s may or may not setup in their files. The Color-Logic system can auto create white ink for VDP work, however I’m not sure if this is also the case for non VDP work...

This should be a moot point, as a standard ICC profile conversion of Fogra39 > PCS > Fogra52 should be visually the same. So what are the RGB curves achieving, apart from subjective image “enhancement” to make a CMYK image “pop” more in an uncoated space by adding contrast and or saturation...

CGS ORIS Color Tuner // Web offers standard “contone” screening as you would expect and additionally offers two screen proofing options: * ScreenDot: Pre screened 1 bit TIFF/LEN file data * ScreenDot Plus: Create dot proofs from contone data Notice in the screenshot below that ScreenDot Plus...

roel78, just to be clear – you are repurposing content that may be intended for the older Fogra39 coated condition, into the new PSO Uncoated v3 condition? What happens if you do nothing? Are the PDF/X-4 images RGB or CMYK? Do you know for certain that the F39 output intent is correct...

Hi Mxd, you are right it is an old topic thread. I created the action for personal and client use, however it was a snapshot in time… In later versions of Impact this has been automated, see the screenshots attached. What version of Impact are you running? What version of Illustrator? (the...

You need to define swatches as tints based on the solid spot colour swatch. Edit, here is a screenshot from Illustrator, the concept is similar in other apps. Stephen Marsh

Is this topic thread still running? :] Visual identity is not only for multinationals and the big end of town. Some people like vibrant, saturated colours – some probably don’t. Colour trends change. Is it such a stretch to imagine a designer or agency asking a new client the following: “What...

I’d recommend Acrobat Pro + PitStop Pro rather than Adobe Illustrator if most of your files are PDF. Layman’s terms? Presuming professional software and operators… Please supply areas that require white printed ink to be setup as a named spot colour, set to overprint and stacked or layered...

You need to know your own data… What happens if there is no crop box info? Can you have multiple conditions to fall back to? A media box is a given, however it may not be the final job size which is usually set by the trim box. Stephen Marsh

Sample file (can be sanitised)? Version of PitStop Pro? Stephen Marsh

Keep in mind that you also need a software license file that matches the dongle and software version etc. You may also need Kodak to transfer the license to you as software is licensed, not owned. Caveat emptor! Stephen Marsh

I understand where you are coming from SMS, I have always used the Pantone Color Bridge Coated and Uncoated fan guides for finding the “lowest common denominator” colour match between spot and CMYK values on different stock. It is a good brand designer that understands that if one wishes to...

Glad to try to help. I did notice that the stacking order changes, so if elements overlap then they could potentially end up in the incorrect order. Both scripts can be combined into a single script to save running twice. Stephen Marsh

Here is a script for the Text layer: // https://forums.adobe.com/thread/583929 var newLayer = app.activeDocument.layers.add({name:"Text"}); var tfs = app .activeDocument .spreads.everyItem().textFrames.everyItem().getElements(); while(tf = tfs.pop()){ tf.move(newLayer); } Test with care...

A quick Google search kicked up the following script for images: https://indesignsecrets.com/topic/sc...seperate-layer (ensure that quotes are straight, not curly) This script is not for batch processing, it is one document at a time... It should just take a little bit of hacking to work for...

First question, is the press room “printing to the numbers” on a given press and stock – with the numbers being a repeatable SID value for solid C, M, Y, K… Which should translate to a repeatable L*a*b* colour value for solid C, M, Y, K and C+M, M+Y, Y+C… Forgetting curves for now, just solids...

You could just go on using spot colours and possibly export top-level-layers as PDF OCG/layers, without the specific ISO 19593-1 Processing Steps then. When you do wish to make use of the ISO 19593-1 Processing Steps with software that can leverage the data, both Enfocus PitStop Pro and Callas...

That would be Enfocus or Callas, depending on your needs. Considering all that they offer and can do, and that they also can create the processing step OCG’s to specification, they are a bargain! What DFE or RIP or other software do you have that can make use of the ISO 19593-1 Processing...
