We are looking at converting our Ryobi 5-color 755XL Packaging edition to LED UV with a coater. we are looking at either the GEW system or the AMS system. Looking for input from anyone actually running either system (or experience with both). One of our biggest concerns is that with the...

Thank you both!

Thank you Gordo! Much Appreciated!

I need to add a little blip to a current carton I do for a long-time customer. I used Google Translate to come up with this, but I wanted to have someone who speaks French look it over to make sure its not a really bad translation or something. English: Actual product colors may vary from...

This is just a rant, I have to vent somewhere where at least someone might read it who understands my pain. I just spent the last 30 mins trying to find the Legacy Pantone swatch libraries for Illustrator because the new Pantone+ converts for &*$(%#Q&! PMS 937.... a tint of fluorescent yellow...

well.... there's that. But there's the part where he's the guy that signs my paycheck.... soo..... ;) We can work with it as it is, even limited to the 760. We only go to our max press width about half dozen times a year, and we are keeping our old plate burner so we can keep a box of plates...

So I have a fun problem this week. The short: Anyone have any success getting a Suprasetter A75 to feed and run plates larger than 760mm wide on slowscan? The full explanation: We just installed a new-to-us Heidelberg Suprasetter A75. Somehow, both the owner and the sales guy missed that it's...

That was my understanding. Last time I looked at it, ok, over 5 years ago, but from what I remember we were looking at over $100k US for just basic job management & estimating.

yeah, I have looked at it before, and aside from the price, one of the main reasons we passed was because we had no control over the information, job ticket layout, and a few other things. It was very much "You will learn to do things their way and like it" mentality. That doesn't fly in my...

has anyone recently installed Printsmith? My boss heard from his brother that they put in Printsmith for job management and estimating for a low price that I don't think is even possible. I don't want to switch, I like the software we use now, and I don't want to have to deal with the sales...

there is a warning that pops up and warns you about overprinting white. but most people click the "do not show again" box after the first time completely defeating the purpose.

A good thought, but I don't see them removing the ability to turn on overprinting when using white.

ugh.... for the number of times that I've missed THAT stupid designer mistake!!!

They haven't been the standard since they got too arrogant and comfortable in their throne of "king position" and stopped developing their software for a few years. At the same time, in their arrogance, they stopped playing nice with school / student discounts. Tie that in with their initial...

Wisconsin just changed their laws last year, and all our alcohol is out. the "substitutes" just don't work as well. Ah well.

I'm going to have to remember that one! I like it!!

I've been watching this quietly and thought I should make an observation. As someone who used to run press, and now runs the prepress department, it is sounding to me more like you are a pressman who has run into too many bad prepress people. a GOOD prepress operator, or supervisor understands...

OMG!!! thank you!! I needed a laugh today! No granted I started printing in my HS print shop so of course the equipment was out of date. But I remember doing my typsetting on Greyscreen macs with Pagemaker and saving my work on the external Floppy drive. printing out what I needed on a dot...

That is a beautiful thing!! I'm kind of jealous! arossetti~ That is exactly what i'm saying. in regards to what started the discussion, he was asking how he can best designate a color to be stable across all platforms, print methods and paper types. and while yes, specifying a LaB value will...
