I can't imagine why... we've always logged in as Admin on all workstations. Can't change anything if you don't.

checked and double checked that. that's what I thought of first. We can modify everything else. We can even go into the color manager options windowed and it "looks" like we should be able to change things, but when you select something from the drop down list, nothing happens.

since I'm not getting any help from EFI...I'll try here... we have the new CWS 5.5 installed on all 3 of our macs to drive or Xerox 700i, but on one of them we have a weird issue. When we open a job that it is in the Print Que to edit, and go into the color manager (basic or expert doesn't...

we have CWS installed on all three workstations to access one Xerox 700i. works great. As Matt said however, if you have special profiling software, that might not be accessible to the other stations.

Thank you! It's actually a beautiful piece! I'll see if I can get a picture of it... It's a big photo of paint splashes on a super black background, with gradiated spot gloss to give it a round look on the splashes. It's going to Europe somewhere... I know a number of the guys on here are...

just ran into this, and figured out that Pitstop v9 works on Mavericks...strangely. Hope that will help someone.

in case anyone wants a good Monday laugh... The latest coming back down the pipe: "From what I understand they don’t apply RIP’s..." At this point, I think I'm going to prep the files and send them on down the line and wash my hands of it.

question...for curiosity's sake... why are we adding advice on a thread from almost 4 years ago? I was just wondering...

5555M is from the Matte Book...no idea what the COSL is. unless it is a custom mix color. 5555 should be kind of a dirty minty green.

This is purely my boss wanting to see what we can do..... I'm against it personally, but told him I'd put the question to the lot on here and see what the consensus is.

We're very helpful here...but what Gordo linked you to is the best you're going to find. Short of taking the G7 courses, there really isn't a "manual"... Gordo... you should write one! ;)

Ouch...not how I meant it, but fair enough. ;)

I know there are a lot of packaging producers out there. In the Milwaukee area however, there are really only the big boys, and us. We have also established ourselves as problem solving custom packaging designers. I'm not saying we don't have ANY competition, but we don't have much locally...

as far as I know, in my immediate area, there are only 1 or 2 shops that have FM screening. Our niche is short run, small product packaging, we really don't have much for competition.

I didn't say "I" wanted to go to this.... ;) for amusement's sake...I did find out where my boss was getting that all these other printers were doing 300 Line screen... he was looking at their artwork submission instructions that said minimum resolution should be 300 dpi... We then had a quick...

thank you bky, I am aware of those features. my concern is sending this job to a print shop that doesn't even understand what I am asking. And while you technically can do a flood gloss and overprint spot dull, it is the same as wet trapping the varnish, and tends to flatten out the dull. For...

There is an added benefit to Sierra if you run digital machines. Sierra outputs high-res PDFs of Layouts. We use this feature a lot in our shop because the imposition software in sierra is super easy to use. Saves a TON of time on setting up digital runs.

I think almost more than that, I need a tech that actually understands what their software is doing and how/why it works. Not some kid with a "Multi-Media Degree" that just does what they are told to do, with the processes set up by the installers. UG!

I would love to, maybe eventually, but I'm not sure I want to open that can of worms right now. I'm still trying to break my pressmen of the habit of running to me any time they're not matching the Epsons. They have developed this REALLY bad habit of not checking the press to see if there are...

In May, we are having a brand new Ryobi 700 press installed. And my boss comes to me and informs me that he would like to start running 300 lpi as our standard for coated text and cover. We currently run 200 lpi as our standard, a bit higher than industry standard, but we like the quality...
