MrDHG What is your workflow exactly? Are you trapping in deckpack, in the workflow or in Artpro? Look for an option to always trap toward image (see attached). This would at least get you consistent traps. May not always be the direction you wanted but they will not go in and out.

I believe it is true that with CS6 the plugins had to be written a different way. But it is also interesting that as far as I know there are no major CS6 plugins that have yet to be released like the Esko stuff. Not to mention we were told we would have them in August, then September, then late...

I was just told Nov. 29th. Did any of you guys actually receive the plugins already?

I second this!! Anybody know?

Hi Al, You are correct I am in Flexo but I dont know the answer to your question. We dont actually use Neo. I have played around with it in the past and it was nice but cost prohibitive. We do use a lot of Esko stuff and I think that I have the manual for Neo so if I can find it I will let you know.

Al Here is the link to the NEO information Neo: Editing and correction of multipage PDF files - Esko I think they have a trial also. As far as price, I can't remember exactly but it was big $$$.

WOW! Maybe I should get back into the sign industry and go back to all PC workflow because it sounds like in your world all your hardware and software are absolutely perfect out of the box and never get updates or upgrades. Must be wonderful to be you and have it all figured out. I guess 99% of...

David You are making my head spin with your very weak argument. Are you suggesting that we start using sign software in print shops and prep houses?! Are you saying that FlexiSign, Gerber, or Corel have better applications than Adobe? Believe me I do have my own beefs with Adobe but I also spent...

My guess is that the placed images are huge and not sized to the art. We run into to this occasionally where a placed image will be a couple hundred MB and illustrator will dog when saving. Just a guess. But I really wanted to give you a tip on trashing prefs. Instead of deleting the folder, put...

We have had the same issue. The issue is in the 1-up artpro file. Depending on your workflow and available tools there are a few ways to fix it. But if you have an operator that has no preview in the stepped file and generate PDF preview will not work have them jump to the 1-up in artpro and do...

One old trick is to use a thick black marker and color the area of the stickyback that is under the seam. The chemicals in the marker help with the plate adhesion. Another option is to pre-curl your plates before mounting. Basically just put them in a shipping tube or similar overnight in a warm...

eskopdl - It would be great if any of your posts actually addressed the issues people are having instead of simply doing shameless plugs for Esko products that seem to rarely even apply to the issue at hand. People dont normally post their issues just to be presented with more software to...

Lynn, PM sent

Lynn, I took a good look at your files. I really dont see any "issues" with the files and when I open the AI, if I had to choose I would say my view is closer to what you are trying to match than what your screen looked like so I still cannot say why you are seeing the issue. But what I did was...

Lynn, Sent you a PM.

Well it was a start.... I am pretty confident I can figure this out for you but will probably need some more details without having the file in front of me. How is the effect applied? Linked image, feather, glow, blur etc. Also does the vector shape have a stroke? (for example a feather applied...

Check "document raster effect settings" under the "effect" menu. Looks like yours is set to 72dpi and his is at 300dpi. Otherwise it was maybe scaled without scaling strokes and effects?Hope that helps.

Ok, I will make some other assumptions. I assume you are launching normalized PDF's within AE10. And I will assume you have the LBlack loaded in your designer book and the color books are linked correctly. I am also assuming you have color engine 10. If those assumptions are correct then the...

Brad- Give me some more details and I can probably help you figure this out. We have seen this error before and I know how frustrating it can be to talk to Esko support. What program are you launching to AE10 from? Also I see your Lblack is a "designer" color and I am assuming that is line...

Tom As far as the image prep is concerned you do still have to manipulate files much the same way you always have. Granted you could not touch the images and get a better result than the standard plates but not as good as you can get with some image work. One thing Esko does not tell you is they...
