i don't think imposition has color settings, so I'm guessing you're using hot folders which has a setting that is wonky? How about this, select two jobs, one that you know works and one that doesn't to compare settings. If they have different settings, the setting will be blank. That might be...

in acrobat, are you viewing with "Output Preview" on? That is part of my preflight as it can help highlight issues. Sometimes I'll toggle it on-off quickly to help find issues

FYI FWIW, the file prints really well on my xerox v280 and default fiery settings. Might be time for a service call that gets escalated to analyst or engineer so they can track down which settings are faulty? It's also possible someone on your team changed some kind of setting, probably in...

lol, I ask myself that question in all aspects of my life. still just throwing darts blindly... how about turning on "Optimize RGB Transparency"?

try toggling "Adobe PDF Print Engine". I have two printers, one with and one without. I've noticed the one with prints transparencies and effects better. I didn't look at the file, but... did the designer use the same colors throughout? I find files sometimes have the PMS spot in one area and...

yes. under Color tab. https://communities.efi.com/s/article/What-does-the-Composite-Overprint-check-box-in-color-tools-do?language=en_US

i assume "composite overprint" is turned on?

We got a new printer, went from Xerox v80 to v280. I want to update all my hot folders, changing the server from old to new. When I do that, "Job Properties" go from Custom to Default. Does anyone know how to change servers without losing all my settings?

I'm talking with my boss about removing the carpet from my print office. does anyone else have carpet? I'm concerned about not being up to properly clean up toner spills and all the iron particles possibly contributing to the static electricity buildup that seems to be growing. Anyone have...

i've used the ricoh 7100 series and xerox v80 and v180 extensively. They're similar enough to me, except my current v180 does a far superior job of flood colors than the ricohs I used.

is this a large flooded area? I see dots in my various projects for a flood color. I adjust the transfer voltage to find a better flood (i'm using xerox, so it is a different machine. i would guess the yellow toner changed and is preventing the magenta from sticking fully. In addition to...

he's the printer. if he don't know, then it don't matter

rasterize it

auto preflighting is nice, but just a warning that it doesn't catch subjective stuff, like your client mixed a PMS spot and a cymk build for their brand colors and they expect you to catch it. Or your client took a 72dpi image and increased resolution to 300dpi think that does anything. boss...

depending on the output device. I don't bother trapping for digital and most platemaker software can trap on the fly. if I had to do it manually, I'd set the spot color to overprint 0.25pt or whatever the pressman wants. If the color difference is too jarring, just build a whole new color that...

no to both. if it's important, i tell them to view my PDF at 300%. If it's not crisp and clean, then we need to talk. If it's less important, then 200% is fine. And never let a client proof a hardcopy of something not close to the quality of the end printer.

nevermind and thannk you I found the sensor. I had to take off the front cover. I vacuumed the inside of the machine, but I guess i couldn't quite get to the sensor. Vacuuming the sensor on the inside of the front cover got enough dust out to let the sensor work.

hi all, my duplo says the gutter deflectors need to be retracted, but they're already up and out of the way for. I rebooted the machine and moved the deflectors up and down to no success. I cannot see any kind of sensor that tells the machine what position they're in. anyone had a similar...

you can do it by eye. machine status > tools > paper tray settings > custom paper settings > change settings > 6. adjust image transfer I use "enter percentage" then run tests with different percentages. Write down the percentage on each sheet so you don't lose track. Adjust as small a change...
