    Auraia screening

    Agreed. Andy Cave is a genius. What is amazing is how things still stay smooth with minor miss registration. I worked for Agfa, we had CrystalRaster ( which was used in marketing materials for promoting Pantone Hexachrome ) but - comically, as anyone might know, kinda tough to have a moiré...

    8-bit vs 1-bit resolution?

    You might find the clarity by using the resometer - a tool invented by Henry Freedman ( an ex-Xerox engineer ) http://henryfreedman.com/resometer-invention/

    How do you pronounce GRACoL?

    I might add that the cover of the first printed GRACoL book had a black grackle looking bird on it http://r3.printingnews.com/files/base/CGN/image/2015/11/16x9/640x360/grac_brd.5637a729b75ea.jpg

    How do you pronounce GRACoL?

    I think the first time I heard someone say Snap, GRACoL and SWOP was either George Leyda (3M ) or Larry Warter ( Fuji ) - and most likely, that was in the 1980s - perhaps at a DDAP or CGATS meeting. Yeah, I am THAT OLD

    Need help with Workflow/Procedures

    I think you are completely missing the point. No one said "Eliminate humans" - we have customers who only have 5 employees. The wanted to "Eliminate human touches" on some ( many ) of the workflow steps that are required between the inbound order and ship/invoicing. No need to have to weigh...

    for any of you using variable data, you would be pretty surprised as to how many patents are held related to that by one person. http://patents.justia.com/inventor/forrest-p-gauthier

    How do I explain to a client that a CMYK value is not an actual color?

    the answer to question 2 is 3 and yes to "3. I've read a bit about CfX3, is it usable yet?" It is always been "useable" - depends on how one might define useable - are you expecting that somehow that data would be embedded within the metadata or XMP of a PDF file, and that some RIP might...

    Send high resolution data directly to printer?

    You might reach out to this developer - they drive most Epson models ( and many other devices ) directly - when i worked for Compose systems, we would use the Compose ( Harlequin ) RIP to make the high res TIFF files then queue them to StarProof which drove the Epsons. Lost of label and flexo...

    Recommend me quoting software

    Estimating solutions can be a simple as a set of tables and some formulas, and it can be quite complex ( simple example, what about calculating required finishing tasks, makereadys / waste, etc.. ) I do not know about how "market pricing" helps - I guess trying to figure out "what your local...

    Errors message on RIP

    Perhaps - your RIP software seems to think your hardware key is not physically connected to the computer the RIP software is running on ( SCSI, USB ) You can try unplugging and re-plugging it in, trying a different port, and checking to see if the driver is seeing the key... very OLD movie (...

    RIT Estimating Study Reveals Critical Needs

    I can't imagine he looked at many. Most all Print MIS estimating present COST and MARGIN when i read "Researchers found those sampled spent more than 2 hours on tasks related to producing a job quote."

    RIT Estimating Study Reveals Critical Needs

    So very sorry, but one, what i need to know as a sales person is "how much do we sell 5000 PostCards, 4/1 on 110 lb stock". Thats was an estimating system should do. Ours ( an many others ) happen to show the sales person ( NOT THE CUSTOMER ) margins, so if they are asked to see if they can do...
