Hello Danny, Do you have any photos? If you have a USB microscope it would be good to see some pictures. How old is your blanket?

Hello Prepressdork, You might have just invented an app just now. Go find yourself a good patent lawer. HP are doing cloud based imposition with their PrintOS platform. But that needs a press serial number to get access. It also isn't set up to allow your customer to log in and access it...

Oh dear lord the printed mock up is a life saver. I make them myself for my own sanity as well as for the press operator if it's an unusual job. The other month i sat in a clients office and made a mock up with scrap paper to prove a point about how pages flow. This was a guy with years of...

Well that's just down right weird. Are you 100% certain your plate material or plate tape has not changed? Even if you are ordering the same stuff from the same supplier, some stock might have got mislabelled or specifications might have been altered?

Hello, Our German sister company had a similar issue with their Konica presses. They had a greyscale black text in a pdf file that printed as you described. The workflow they built had an unexpected RGB conversion in it. Did you solve the problem in the end? ​​​​​

Hello Stephen, The image is visible if I visit your profile page. Thanks for posting the image, I could never figure out what that thing was for.. :)

Hello William, Man your patches are BIG!. I guess one of your team members will have the joy of taking all the readings one by one using the text for guidance. I have gone for the path of least resistance. I have amended the spread sheet so that the Swatch name is the last column (ignored by...

No problem William... There are other options still available. Am I right in thinking you are printing 100 swatches at a time on an SRA3 Sheet? ​

Thank you Stephen. I'd forgotten that. Hello William, I know that this is your first post so I just want to manage your expectations here. Usually when we post stuff, not much happens. It's not routine for people like Dov Isaacs, principal scientist at Adobe Systems to roll up every time...

Hello William, Lol... Well, you seem to have lucked out on your first post. It doesn't usually work this well. Stephen makes some good points here. You need to consider what happens next to your document. If it's just a handy reference for you to keep in the office then that's one thing. If...

Hello William, You are very welcome. :-) You can easily edit the script yourself Open the script - Press {command} + F to open the FIND and REPLACE menu. - Find 200 - Replace with 1500 You will see there are just 3 matches (one for the maths in the script and two are just for the...

Hello William, Ok. All done. I had a look at how to edit an .ASE file but it's WAY too complex for me. Here is a ZIP file with the Spreadsheet Template for the values and the Apple Script to make it work. I had to set an upper limit so it will create 200 swatches, let me know if you need more...

Hello William, Phew. Mac makes it easier for me I'm just debugging the script. Should be ready in a few hours

Hello William, Yes. Totally possible. Are you using a Mac or a PC?

Hello, What happens if you save your 16x20 file as a PDF and print from Acrobat? ​​​​ I'm guessing your printing onto 17" roll fed stock. Do you have pre saved print settings or do you select all the settings manually each time? because you can print accurately at other sizes my guess...

Don't forget that some of us printers are Luddites not through choice but necessity. Up to six months ago we were using a HP Indigo 3050 with it's on-board RIP. PDF/X-1a was the best format for us for our non spot colour jobs. If management won't keep the equipment up to date then you have to...

Hell yeah! Let's hear it for... Holland, France, Luxembourg, New Zealand, Cuba, Czech Republic, Dominican Republic, Guadeloupe, Iceland, Norway, Pamama, Russian Federation and the United Kingdom.... amongst others.

No Title Steve makes a very valid point. If you open your PDF using Illustrator you might be faced with warning dialogue boxes that will make life difficult for Actions and also cause unexpected changes to your artwork. An “Illustrator default” PDF is best when using this Action. You can always...

Hello, We are in Northamptonshire. Drop me a message if you'd like to visit our 5600. Half of what we print is on uncoated stock. HP Electroink still seems to be the best rival for offset ink on uncoated boards. Come over and run some tests. Solid blocks of colours are often a challenge...

Hello, Stephen is quite right. To process the 900 files by any method is best avoided if you can prevent that clipping mask appearing in the first place. I recall that not to long ago, every PDF I created with illustrator would have a clipping mask around the art board. I don't get this...
